I tried some.


What do you think?
LED's on Left, Candesant on Right.



I know, I know, the Truck is dirty. It happens.
You can see more pics here.

Oops, this is my first poll. I thought that 'make public' meant that people could see the results, not see what individuals voted on. Sorry. How do I fix it to be not public? And let the public still see the results of the poll? IDK...

These suck, if you look on ebay you can find sets that have more leds, side firing, rear firing and front firing all on one bulb. That will let the reflectors in the housing do their job better. I paid like 7 bux shipped from a us seller so I got them in a week. The guy i bought them from doesnt stock ambers otherwise I'd link to his store.

Heres a cheap set i found, but its from hong kong, arrival may be delayed up to three weeks from my previous experiences.

You may be right.
The link that you had provided is not accurate for my truck, I need 1157, not 3157, but after taking a look around that vendors offerings, I settled on this;

I bought a set. It has more leds than the princess auto ones.
BTW, this morning I had to spend $19 to buy an electronic flasher unit. hehe, the old flasher was blinking about a million times per second!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Well, yesterday they arrived!
Not bad, about a week to get here from Hong Kong!

I installed them today.
Here are the pics.
I have to say that Crispy was right. The princess auto lights do in fact suck.


Left new Hong Kong leds. Right, Princess Auto leds.

those look good. did you do this for a light output difference from stock or just because you wanted too? im doin clear parkin lights like you and am debating on swapin to leds. and one of my bulbs looks weird anyways and that would look bad with it showing through the clear lense

Hey, that looks good!

Naw, I did this for the cool factor. That's it.

Although the HongKong leds seem brighter than the Princess Auto ones and about the same as the original incandesants.

Thanks! I like em. But my truck is nothing compared to your kick ass machine! And I'm not talking about your new pickup!

 

[the big blue bus]

so they are just as bright as stock? i might do some there as well since i plan on a bunch of leds throughout the truck

Depends on the kind of LED you get, some have more than others.

Mine are much brighter than stock, but they weren't cheap either.

im just going towards stock no need for bright marker lights
