OK I am about to order a set of LED taillights for my truck and the only thing I dont know about is how will they hook up to the factory harnes harness because its just bulbs on the end so any idea's? Here is the website if you have any questions about them it doesnt say much about them though. http://www.migicar.com/dram94sy.html

It says they require no modification. I am curious to see what they look like on a truck.

 

cool, post some pics after install!

 

They have a pig tail hanging out the back that plugs into the stock socket on the truck (just like a light bulb would). The backup light is your stock one. That is how mine are anyway. I don't have smoked ones, but I have a pic in my gallery of what they look like.

 

So They are easy to put on?

I willl get pictures.

 

Yes, all you need is a screwdriver (maybe torx can't remember). Open your tailgate and look inside toward the light. Two screws, one top, one bottom. Take them out, the whole light falls out of the truck. Put in the LED one (make sure polarity is correct before screwing back in as LEDs only work with the polarity correct). Plug them in, then test, if they light, screw 'em back in, if they don't light, reverse the plug, then test again. If they work screw them back in and you're done. Very easy.

 

What do you mean polarity? About all i know is how to change regular taillights lol.

 

The plug (or the bulb) can be plugged in two ways (it is flat and fits in a slot). Polarity is + to + and - to - An LED won't light if + is to -

Plug them in, if they light you are fine, if they don't reverse the plug. Think of the old days when you could plug in a lamp in either direction, same principle.

 

Ok thanks for clearing it up. I ordered them today so hopefully they will get here this week. Thats what im really hoping for atleast.

 

Polarity should be taken care of- the 3157 style bulb is flat, but the 4 pins are placed in such a way they can not be hooked backwards- in other words, a 3157 bulb will only make contact with the pins the correct polarity. Shouldn't be any issue. I thought about some of those, but they generate no heat, and it's nice not worrying if my tail lights are visible in a snow storm, since they won;t melt any off.

 

well I dont thiNk I have to worry about a big snow storm anytime soon LOL.

 

if these are like all the other rear LEDs there straight plug and play

 

Dont worry about them, Most stuff like that today is plug and play. My led third brake lite plugged right in and has worked for over a year with NO problems

 

True... but the next person to read the thread may. I should update my profile- I'm in New England.

 

Yea I have all LED's on my truck except for my tailights but that will change pretty soon!
