What are the best options for LED tail lights and side markers? Not a LMC fan...
I did a search and most the the threads were pretty old...
I want to get the full panel LED for tail lights.
I know i will need a LED flasher.
The only for sale thread of anyone making them was locked and the website referenced was gone...

ALSO as i do love Marquez and Fesler options not looking to spend that money(at least not for this build...)... Looking for the more on a budget options..

Thanks

Looking for the same things myself. Eddie Motorsports ones seem to be less than the ones you mentioned. Summit has them and I am leaning that way. I'd like to hear what others think of them or other options.

Saw some at a booth at the Goodguys Del Mar show last weekend. Don’t know if they have a list of venders you might be able to check.

I bought new LED tail lights because I liked the sequential blinking feature- they are great. For the side markers I bought LED bulbs because they are much less expensive than a complete LED assembly and you can get them at almost any parts store, wherever you like to shop. Some people also like keeping them as original as possible- not a huge issue for me but if its less expensive and mostly original I'm all for it.

Tried these about 3 months ago. My housings were shot anyway. wouldn't hold a bulb tight without wrapping foil around the base, and then couldn't keep the bulbs lit. These are Maxxima sealed units. The best price I found was Amazon and they cost me $16 apiece with Prime shipping. Less than 1/2" thick and carefully center the light you can fit the factory lens over it. They work Great! very bright, especially at night. You can really see your turn signals out the side mirrors
Part# M42206R-X
Very happy with them.

They require a constant 12v.

Bought all of mine on Classic Parts, it's the cheapest place I could find them. I run them on my 68 SWB and 72 Blazer and love them. Make sure to by LED flashers as well
