LED Tailights !!!

Installed my black LED taillilghts from Larry at Dirty Parts. Super fast delivery. I am not as excited about the back-up lights. Not very impressive in the reflection area. But the OEM lights weren't either. I DO love the look of the black on my Sun Fusion. The lights are brighter and definetely look cool. Installation was a snap and I am even wearing a brace for my broken back. I would attach photo's but they all exceed the limits of this sight. Anyone that can help with this let me know.

Re: LED Tailights !!!

Thank you for the advice Blue Tonka!! Hope you enjoy the photo's. Comparison photo on the bottom. OEM on the left and LED on the right. Just checked them out at night. Bright and definetely add some flare. The bottom picture shows the blinker activated. Blinkers are red not amber. Traded out the PIAA B/U bulbs for good old Sylvania Long Lifes. B/U's have a little more reflectivity now. . Great pictures from my iPhone!!!

Unfortunately, it's required by federal regulations to make the light DOT-approved in all 50 states....

Re: LED Tailights !!!

This is something I will be doing on my 65 Mustang, but the FJ's tail lights will stay OEM. They are WAY more expensive for the FJ than they are for the 65 Stang....

Re: LED Tailights !!!

Here is what $20 worth of LEDs looks like on the back of an FJ. I found this hitch cover on Amazon.[IMG][/IMG]

Love the tail lights. Were the back up lights a pain in the @$$ to install, and what brand are they?

Got 'em from Northern Tool & Supply for about $10.00. Halogen. Tapped into the reverse light wire. Easy to do and add alot of backup light.
