I bought a seven wire column mount switch, but have nothing else. Just wondering if anyone has used a good kit that they would recomend. Any books or info on doing the job would be great also. Thankyou,

Thanks for the info. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | A few months ago I switched to LED tail/signal lights. They have 45 leds built into the lens. They are real bright and work great in day light ...pic... Most vendors carry them now. Im considering using the led parking lenses also. They are white with amber light ..pic... The brand is united pacific.

They sure are bright on the semi trucks I've seen. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Just about got rearended again so I need to put some tail and brake lights on. $50each is expensive. I already had housings so just had to get the L.E.D. Lens . If you decide to go with L.E.D.’s ,shop around you may be able to find some cheaper. The L.E.D. stop lights are bright. In my view they are worth it. I did the hand signal thing for a while and it just doesn’t cut it.

Where did you find the ones for the front? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Tuckers in Las Vegas. Ive seen them on Ebay also Item Number ....330466625007 Check Jim Carter or American classic also. They tend to have better prices.(If they carry them) If you do go with L.E.D. all around you will have to get a flasher rated for LED's I had problems finding one that would work. Found the one from United Pacific works and it clicks. Good Luck | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 183 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2003 Posts: 183 | Are the ones from Classic Parts for 6 volt systems? It doesn't say anything about voltage on their website, so I would like to think they are for 6 volts. My truck is still 6 volt, and the last time I went looking for LED tail lights (a couple of years ago), all I could find were ones for 12 volt systems only.
My dad always told me, "Don't force it, get a bigger hammer".
