This was my first option. I figured the leds would be much brighter though???

 

Try your bulbs without the new flasher. If they are white with the parking lights and hyperflash amber, the bulbs are fine. If they keep staying white, then the led bulbs must be bad.


Haha. Pretty sure I posted that on December 1st. pg. 40 Thanks for sharing.

 

If these are the ones you bought, they are not the switchback turn signal bulbs, just white parking light leds. That would be the problem. You need something like this made for turn signals: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/T...-p7114832.html

 

Those are the exact ones I got. I only posted the previous ones because those are the LED's that are in my reverse sockets.

I know for a fact I got the switchbacks.

 

I figured it out.....I bought the CK style instead of the standard. I'm an idiot

 

Yes you are. JK

 

Nope, the 4 LED is a little bluer. Its not a big enough difference to really notice though.

 

This was pretty much the first thing I did to my truck, always had them in my cars and it makes such a big difference. I'm running pretty much everything LED or HID now...switchbacks w/EP27, dome light, map lights, reverse lights, brake lights (in HD tails), license plate bulbs, cargo lights (in Red/Smoked LED light), along with 6000k headlights and foglights...love the look and visability of it all.

 

so those of you who replaced your cargo/bed light did you notice if the LED brightened the box any better than OEM or about the same but worth the looks?

 

I don't think my led replacement brightened the box any but I did it mainly for aesthetics. I liked how the color of all of my reverse lights match for the most part, except for the lowest ones.

 

Yeah I couldn't deal with that. Not sure what look you're trying for, but it looks confused. Aux. flood lights don't go well with the Fast and Furios ricer look.

For those who were asking, the 10 dollar a pair Silverstars for the cargo and reverse lights do make a difference and work just fine. On any application I have seen where you want the light to have a good amount of output (i.e. reverse and cargo lights) and not just look pretty and blue, halogens do better than LEDs. We swapped out all of the brake and reverse lights on the fire engines with LEDs when they went out, and quickly swapped the reverse lights back to halogen.

 

I think it all depends on what leds you go with....for instance I got mine locally, not from vleds, and they are nowhere near as blue as what he has....mine are pure white. And my cargo lights are not as bright as my reverse because they are a smaller bulb with less SMTs, but my reverse bulbs are much brighter then halogen...ill try and get some pics this weekend.

I disagree, seemed worse than stock to me.

 

Check this out: http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?p...ER+L.E.D.+Bulb Recon now has switchbacks. I would still buy from V-leds though.

Edit: Nevermind, $40 a bulb!!! That's BS.
