    Are these a lot brighter than stock? Did you guys need resistors? Debating on pulling the trigger on these.

    U need the Ck One

    They are as bright or brighter than stock.
    The nice thing about them is the resistors are only running when the signal is active unlike a traditional LED install where u have smoldering hot resistors online 100% of the time.

    I know I need CK bulb type, I am talking about the parking light adapters, so the lights will dim when the headlights are switched on. Or do I even need them?

    little confused here what your asking specifically...
    the Tritons come with a pigtail that you'll plug into the + low beam, that will dim the DTRL when the low beams are switched on. its built into the control box, its not separate.

    pics...
    the dimmer connector can be seen here as the plug without the pigtail plugged into it. the other two are connected light adapter and the power.

    You cleared it up for me, I wish I could see a pic of them vs stock. I have Sylvania incandescent in mine and they are really bright, but I love the LED's!! Thanks again for clearing my issues up. I'm pulling the trigger on these.

    i feel like straight up LEDs available on TW or at our usual LED sources will never be able to fill the shoes of DTRL on our trucks. as far as intensity and the way our wiring is set up (all the blown fuse threads). in my opinion, the system these guys thought up and engineered is really the only right way to go about this conversion. i hopefully the control modules last, because i dont want to go back

    the drivers side box i mounted on the inside fender, next to the battery. the passenger side ended up down a little bit, on the wall to the next of the radiator.

    post back after your install
