LED taillights - any interest?

LED Lights

They do make bulbs that have leds all around the sides and back to reflect on back but there not cheap and I don't know if they work well. Say you put them in, you have to change flasher, the one in there won't work well, flashes really fast. Thats why they talk about resistors with led on a newer cars. The flasher is part of light module and can't be changed. Marauder ??

This is a picture of a real led tail light.

I had them for a 65 mustang and it was strips of led lights, you could put them behind the lens.

it simple when your looking at your taillights from the back side where the lightsockets are, just below them is and area where the taillight would of had the turn single for a crown vic but for our cars its sealed off but just cut out 2 1inch hole below each primary socket and install the new bulbs you will produce alot more light from your tail for sure!

what about the power? Do you just splice into the existing wires?
 
I talked to Momma about this, and believe it or not, she thought it was a good idea.


Would like to do this in conjunction with the S-55 treatment on the lenses.

Sounds like maybe I need to schedule a road trip up to Cary... ;)
 
Jim, please PM me when you figure out how/when you are going to have these available... Im looking forward to getting a set:cool:

I'm interested Jim.
How about reverse lights?
That's the number 1 complaint from the wife, as I live in the woods a bit...

I'll have to pull out the reverse lights and see how big of a bulb will fit in there.

I do have some LEDs that you can not look at...... too bright!

I went with the same bulbs mercuryed recommended and used in his install for reverse lights.
