Finally got the bed on my truck so I could put on the new tail lights I bought from Brothers over a year ago. Put a 12V power source on to find out which lead was the tail light and which was the brakes. Pffft one of the bulbs flashed and died. Took the lens off and found out they had 6V bulbs. Now it's not a problem getting the 12V equivalent bulb but I was really surprised that the housings were not set up to run 1157 bulbs.
Does anyone make a repro tailight housing set up to run 1157 or is that why most of these trucks were converted to the later tailight?
I realize I could go to LEDs but at $100 a pair it's a little steep.
