LED Lighting Conversion

There are at few threads buried in the forum about replacing those lights. Just use some keyword searches and it should pull up what you're looking for. You'll have to sift through some pages, but I do remember reading people's procedures for getting to those light connections. (It was a bit of a hassle from what I recall.)

 

The license plate lights are flickering a bit, but I think that's due to water in the lens. I swapped the headlights out with a better bulb too:

Thanks for the response!

You didn't have issues with the blinker lights? I literally purchased the exact same bulbs and am getting the dreaded hyperflash

 

Those are super bright, but they do not distribute light well and I would not use them for backing a trailer. Look how they compare:

I will have to so some reading!

Thanks for the info. After a few nights I'm really not that impressed with the reverse lights so I might be doing a little fabricating

 

I went 4 the cheaper version which was literally only dollars saved for my interior lights and I have LED's that are not as bright as I anticipated and more blue than I had wanted I want to make crisp white light inside not the piss yellow at the stock interior lights were, so I'm definitely going to check out the lights on this post for my interior the pictures look great thanks. On my exterior forward facing lights are all Putco LED's, rear brake and third brake light are stock with a Putco LED brake, turn and reverse strip about to be installed. Just trying to get the proper part number for the towing 4 plug receptor so I can plug it in instead of hard wiring.

 

Is there a good quality full kit for the interior lights and a kit for licence plate, reverse, back up and turn signals. Or is it better to get each individually. I see some on Amazon but they look kinda cheap.

 

I would suggest you build your own. Problem with the pre-built kits is some have had mis-matching dome lights with their map lights, mis-matching vanities, etc. Lots of people have installed the "piecemeal" sets and have provided experience in this thread... not to mention pics.

 

Thanks didn't think of that.

 

did you use these as high beams or low beams?

 

2016 TRD Sport.

Recommended front blinkers didn't cause hyperblink.

Recommended rear blinkers DO cause hyperblink.

 

Same here

 

What did you do to fix it?

 

I sent the bulbs back yesterday, I really don't want to splice resistors into my brand new electronics.

 

Yeah... I'm kinda thinking that. I'm not messing with that, but I might look into getting load resistors and making my own harness...

 

That's in interesting way to go. I like the sounds of that. Please post your findings

 

Well...

I'm going to try this...

$20 100W 6Ohm LED Load Resistors for LED - Fix Hyperflash Rapid Blinking for Tail lights, Reverse lights, Turn signals, etc - Bulb Size 7443 7444 992

https://www.amazon.com/100W-6Ohm-LE...8772&sr=8-2&keywords=7443+load+resistors&th=1

If they wired them wrong I can just rewire them. it'll be cheaper than buying sockets and plugs and some load resistors.

 

I looked at those, I read they they get really hot. like 300 degrees. Wondered how/where to mount to the truck

 

Look great! Still holding up well?

Really want to swap my headlights and fogs to a more crisp white/light blue to match my led drl's but keep reading horror stories of people short out the electrical board.

 

I would say so; no issues; I drive with lights on during all commutes.

LEDs are pretty nice at night. They have nice color, white with maybe a tiny hint of blue. They have a nice linear cut off that I noticed while driving back roads, nice side peripheral output, they don't project that far on distance though.
