I got my replacement LED tail lights from Rob this week. Man they are bright!
I shouldn't have anybody saying they can't see them now during the day.
This past June on the Hot Rod Power Tour I had several people say they couldn't see my tail lights during the day time. A specially in the rain! Not any more I hope these things are twice as bright as the last set.

Andy4639 · 07-12-2019, 06:14 AM

The new ones are much brighter than these. I'll get some better pictures of it outside later this weekend I hope if the weather coperates.

Did you have to change the blinker relay with the LED's?

Barnfind46 · 07-12-2019, 01:35 PM

Those look nice,Andy. My wife is worried about people not seeing my brake lights so I may have to go with those.

I've had LED's for several years now. I put the blinkers in back then but yes I have both blinkers with the ground straps.

I see you have a cargo light. Get the third brake light. It works great and you still have a cargo light.

I have the third brake light on the bed cover. I need to raise it up some though. If your in a small vehicle behind me you can't see it.

Glad you like them sir! I try to tell folks the pictures just don't do them justice! I really try and make a product that is better than the normal off the shelf stuff that vendors offer.

If you have stock turn signals with bulbs up front. You can use these with a stock flasher

I also make combo panels with red and white for the cargo/brake option. Hartrod is running one on his burb.

Andy4639 · 07-18-2019, 11:05 PM

Rob thanks sir! I'll be getting a 3 brake cargo light from you soon.

Rob, do you do GMC front park/blinkers?

I have done a couple sets. So yes i can but tbh they are about the same size and take the same amount of parts to build as tails. Infact they are a touch more complicated. With that said I charge the same $175 shipped for a set. I would also want to barrow 1 lense to ensure proper fit. I dont keep one because i typically don't build them. With that being said they are bright. I use amber leds in them

**special-K** · 07-22-2019, 07:58 AM

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind. I could leave you a spare no problem

Robznob11 · 07-22-2019, 08:05 AM

Lol, its not that i dont want to do them ...just most people think thats high for turn signals. I dont guess i blame them...but when it takes a day or 2 to make them + parts it would not be beneficial for me to give them away. I do try and make all of my leds better than the run of the mill stuff you find on fleabay though. I go for quality parts, durability, and brighter��

Quality parts and craftsmanship cost money! It's worth it Tim.

Daaaanz67 · 07-22-2019, 01:40 PM

Can you post a picture of it not installed? Does it just just plug into the bulb socket? Andy did you have to do anything to make it work with your cruise control since your running the LS? I’ve read that LED will cause the cruise not to work. My truck has DBW.

The tail lights plug into the socket. If you have leds both front and rear with an ls swap, yes you will have to add a load resistor to the circuit for the cruise to function. The computer needs to see a load, you could also maybe get away with a socket wired into the system with a regular bulb (hidden) if you dont like the idea of load resistors

When LSnova1 did mine he added the small relay for the LED's.
