Led rear brake and running light

Post by Nookiebear »

I am interested in putting LEDs into the rear light and was wondering if anyone has done this mod or know of where to get some LEDs that will fit and work without major electrickery work?

Ive fitted a superbright http://www.superbrightleds.com/search/t ... tion[isd]/ only problem I have with it is that its so bright it makes the light vary pale. Looks like the rear lens is faded when its on, especially the brake. I might give a red one a try. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Car-Red-11 ... 8ed&_uhb=1

Thanks very much guys for the info. I didn't realize it was just a simple bulb replacement, I thought it had to have a led board fitted.
So simple in the end lol.
