LEDs are in! Just did the reverse lights and the high-mount cargo lights. The cargo lights turned out awesome. The reverse lights were not as bright as I was expecting, but SO much better than stock. I can use the backup camera at night now because of them. A little before and after:

BEFORE





AFTER

Thanks! Agreed, those will be next. And I probably should have taken before shots when it was a little darker out.

I replaced the 3rd brake light with an LED bulb too, and it's not working :/ It wasn't working before either. The truck had a topper when I bought it, and the wiring for the topper's 3rd brake light is still on the truck. I thought maybe that was interfering with the stock 3rd brake light, so I followed the old topper wiring and disconnected it, and it's still not working. Any ideas?



Perhaps I should have put this in the appropriate forum, but I didn't want to start a whole thread about it...

I wouldnt mind doing the cargo lights. But i might end up getting a toneau cover at some point....


So I was wrong about my mileage on my truck. 18.7 lifetime on truck (hand caluclated) with 4200 miles on the truck now.

Best is 25.57 @ 62 mph
Worst is 10.49 Heavy towing
(both hand calculated)

And if you take out the towing out of the average, ive pulled 19.2 lifetime.

Lights look good! Had bad luck with LEDs. They die every so often. Seems the quality really varies.
