LED tails

OK, excuse my naive... The LED are interesting to me as well, but when you replace with LED isn't that the "bulb" and not the housing?
If you replaced with LED, were the LED's a complete package... Light & Housing?

I know it's not the intent of your sale, but could you provide a link to the LED lights and possibly a photo of your completed LED Tail lights.
If not on this thread, a separate thread in appearance section?

They must have built in electronics now in the newer LED conversions. It used to be you had to change the circuit with various in-line components to help with amperage.
These are a drop & go... very nice!

In real life... do they have the strong black ring around the lens like in some of the photos?
How do you like visually?

They look killer, but if one ever goes bad, you likely have to buy a whole new set.

I moved all these to give the OP his classified ad back.

Weird how in the first photo of the carid ad they show the reverse lights in both light positions. I'm in the process of experimenting with installing switchback bulbs into the reverse light housing - white/amber, where the amber would flash with the turn signal. I'm not a fan of very small lights being used both as stop and turn.. not enough people paying attention nowadays.
