    Hi Guys,

    Well with the crazy cyber Monday deals last week from VLED's, I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on some new LED Tail Light Bulbs! I may have this slight addiction to LED bulbs lol! So here is some pictures and 2 videos of the bulbs compared to stock also! Hope you enjoy!

    *Note that the rear bulb's are a Regular 7443 Socket (NOT 7443 CK)!!!!

    Link to the Bulbs:
    http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbers/7443-7440-led/v3-kit-r-7443.html

    I made two video comparisions also:

    Video with all the bulb's replaced with LED's:

    Excellent, thank you very much. Ever since your first thread on this topic, I've been buying LED brake lights and taillights for my friends and suggesting them to customers. I wasn't really exposed to this type of modification before but not i'm slightly addicted as well.

    Greatly appreciate your attention to detail with pictures and video!

    Looks great. Can you list all of the part numbers / colors you went with for the front and rear lights? Not a cheap project by any means, but it does look good.

    Thanks very much for taking the time to post the pictures, good job!

    Did you have to use a 3 or 6 ohm resistor for the turn signals to prevent the hyper flash.

    Thanks Corey,

    That is exactly what I ordered on Cyber Monday from VLEDS, once the order comes in my entire truck will be swapped out to LEDs and HIDs, everything from VLEDS.

    The Reverse Lights are backordered so that is what is holding my order up, you did a sweet job man, can't wait to do mine!!!!
