Im pretty sure these lights do go in the stock housing, correct?

Yeah, the next best thing to a dedicated LED tail light assembly, I'd guess.

Yes they do.

Infiniti uses a circular type of LED within the Tail light. I think if you had twice as mayn "webs" you might get the same effect.

Nothing wrong with LEDs in the tail lights. The spider pattern is a little silly though. Now maybe if you could make em spin...

I say ricey, since they do look like "throwing stars" with led's attached. Too bad Jackie Chan doesn't have some of these. Whoaaaaah! Hayaa.

I don't know if any of you guys have tried replacing your bulbs but the opening is about 1.5" wide... and if those things stick out like they look like they do, there is no way you could get those in the housing... I went with led's in my tails and had to also get the resisitors... they work great... here's a thread with pics

LED Tails

Have you looked at the Hella F-150 upgrade package? Both tails and thrird stop light are LED's. 'Bout $265 for the set plus shipping. I found them cheapest at www.tirerack.com

Just a thought and my two cents.

well they will be here tommorrow and we'll see. I went with these over the Hellas so far because I want LED running lights and according to F150-Duke the refit on the hellas is quite a bit of trouble. BTW they are folded up and expand after passing through the opening. Anyways will post pics tommorrow in a new thread.

Those replacement LED bulbs don't look that bad.

However, I do HATE the aftermarket rear tail lights! They make our American trucks look like FastNFurious wanabees. The company that really pushes those horrible aftermaket rear lenses is APC, American Products Company, haha. It should be named CPC since every thing there is made in China.
