Are the leds for the cab and anywhere else for that matter plug and play? They just look so much better!

Basically all single filament lights are plug and play, interior, lic plate, reverse, side marker in heads.

Yeah, any of those bulbs on that page would fit but I would personally go with the first or second one's.

The cargo lights are bulb #921. I have heard mixed reviews on led replacements for cargo. Everyone pretty much agrees that they look cool as hell but they don't really seem to light the bed up like the incandescent bulbs :fyi:

i think you have to put a resitor in the led in the brake light, if you don't the cruise won't work, it was brought up in another thread.

If you switch out the tails and third brake to LED's (I had the Hella's in my 06 KR), you only have to replace the factory brake light fuse with the supplied one (at least in my case). I had to install a 7.5 amp versus the factory 20 amp.

I didn't have any issues with the cruise.

I ordered these for my license plate:

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...81133-1-2.html

But they were too long! They would go into the socket, but they were a hair too long - the socket didn't have enough clearance to turn back into position. Another thing I found - it seems the light housing is curved enough so if you use a standard 194 LED bulb (with the LED at the end of the bulb) so you don't get the true light output through the lens. It appears you need a LED bulb with the LED's around the bulb and at the end. Problem is, I can't find any "shorties".

Anyone had any success? :beers:
