Pics are crap but the best I could do with my great knowledge of camera's .
At least U'r able to post pics. Posting rules: You may not post attachments. Is this age discrimination because I'm an old fart? How does one go about getting permission to add attachments?

05-22-09 Well, thanks to nudge from Fabian06SC, I figured a way to post pics. Not sure it’s the right way, but it works.

U can also mount brackets out in open under rear of truck. U'r LED high-mount unit may not have had resistor load. This & no load at rears results in no cruise. U don't have to do any soldering. Use quick-splice connectors & make "pig-tails" to plug into resistors. I have mentioned in several posts about being denied attachments. No member has offered any help or explanation. I've tried to contact the "forum" folks but all I get is an automated reply that they received my request. Saying goes, "A picture is worth 1000 words." & some of what I'm saying would be clearer with pics.
Someone please, how about some help with posting pics.
My flashers worked fine with the LED bulb (3157's), but only because I installed an LED flasher. I don't like cutting or splicing into factory harneses unless it's absolutly nessesary. Using an LED flasher allows both LED or conventional bulbs to work in the turn signal circuit. If you install load resisters, you cannot use a regular bulb, as it will flash very slow, if at all.
My other stement was to the brake lame portion of the LED 3157 bulb. I would not want to install a load resister in this circuit either. I'd rather pay for a LED tail light assemply, with this "load" built into their circuit board, so that my cruise will work.

FWIW, anyone who orders from v-leds.com use coupon code commander15 I believe its 15% off. I did it last night and it worked, covered my shipping. Just a heads up.
