    Bought the 3157CK Amber front turn signal kit but the base adapter does not fit in the socket any thoughts? My truck is 2016 TRD sport

    The front bulb adapters are not CK sockets they are just plain 3157s like I state in my original post!

    Very nice!

    Did you have to use resistors on ALL of the LED conversions you put in, or just the ones you mentioned here? I'm also curious about, if a resistor is NOT required, will putting one in have a detrimental effect?

    All you need resistors for the front turn signals and drls and the rear turn signal lights. The only place you don't need resistors is the rear tail/brake lights

    Looks great! Did you know if the 3rd break light housing is just one T10 style for the break light?

    Dipped front grill , vinyl tail gate letters , vinyl door sill lettering , vled interior lights , Vled back up and license plate lights , Vled switch back turn signals and brake lights , h9 low beam light mod , OEM bed matt , Raised front seats.
    After running these vled leds for about 6 months now how are they doing any problems? I put some vleds in my back up lights and have been thinking about putting them in my rear tail lights but have been a little worried there would not be sufficient space behind the tail light assemblies for proper cooling.

    Thank you for the reply. Hve you installed any led lights in your low beam projectors?
