Replace turn signals/brake light with LED bulbs

[FUNFER2]

The turn signal LEDs have been spoken about, how are the LED brake & tail light from the company's listed, are they plug & play or do you need to add something to the electrical system ?

I tried some, but they didn't appear to put out as much light as the incandescent...

Also in the rear thy wont work with the socket setup on my Kirkham. The bulbs are mounted so the light comes out of the side, and not the end.

Kevin the Brake lights are plug and Play. So you know, as if you didn't; American made LEDS are significantly better all the way around vs. the Imported ones - AKA Auto Zone etc.

Check out this link. I just did the conversion 2 weeks ago and the difference is amazing. Since the front lights seemed OK to me, I just changed the rear with the mod described. With standard #1157 lights up front and LEDs in the rear, there is enough resistance in the circuit for the flasher to operate correctly.

I did the same thing as Bill, 1157s up front and red LEDs in the rear. I did change the blinker to the new electronic blinker. The LEDs did not blink untill I installed the 1157s in the front. I made the change about three years ago. I think you have to use red LEDs with your red lens and yellow LEDs with yellow lens. I think??


My rear lights are a lot brighter.
I have two LEDs on the shelf.
