You can always buy led bulbs that will replace the bulds in your stock taillights. Any auto parts store and all over the web.

I agree.. Did that for some house lights I had (I had a 12 volt system in the Sticks and Bricks) and the lamps I got at Pep Boys were amazingly good. Alas have not found that line there recetly..
But that's the easiest way.. Alt take very careful pictures with rulers lying atop and beside and visit a major CHROME shop like the I-80 Truck stop on I-80 IN Iowa... (One of several about the country) They have one of the best displayes of lights. LED and otherwise, I've ever seen.

I tried several different design of LED bulbs in my rear lights and was disappointed in the results and found the original bulbs brighter. The other problem was the LED turn signal bulbs didn't draw enough current to make the flasher work correctly. The reason the LED lights didn't look bright was that the bulbs went straight in to the lens and the LEDs replacement bulbs where designed to be brighter from a side view

Thanks for reply. Were you just trying to replace bulbs or the complete housing. Even if i find the complete housing, do you figure i will still have same issues of not being bright enough.

I was just changing the bulbs. I think if I could have found a complete new lens and LED bulb designed to work together then it would probably been brighter

I found the same on my Chevy truck. Went back to standard bulbs. Now I did, however, change all of my interior lights with great success .

You may be able to replace the entire tail light with a led replacement tail light, that's what I did... I did some research using the dot number on the original tail lights on my 08 Endeavor and found that they were the same light that were Put on a Dodge truck. I then just bought and installed the led replacements. Plug and play... Brighter and gave the coach an updated look. I would recommend going to the recon lighting website and see what they have.

Cool. Thanks Stan for the promo code. I've been looking at m4 led lights for a short while and about ready to order them. That will save a few bucks and every little bit helps. I've read good reviews about them and haven't really seen any bad. Have you been happy with what you purchased? Thanks again.
