LED Conversions?

[GARY MINKER]

I put LED inserts in my tail lights on my 85-PT40 and they are super. You can't tell they are different until you turn them on so the look is the same. I removed the socket and replaced it with an entire lamp cartridge. Gary --- On Thu, 3/19/09, jburgessx2 wrote: From: jburgessx2 Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: LED Conversions? To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, March 19, 2009, 10:49 PM I've posted a few pics of my LED taillights. One picture is with the taillights off, one with all four taillights, and one with a close-up of a single taillight. These photo's show the regular taillight only, not with the brakes applies. With the brakes applied, they get extremely bright. I'm thrilled the previous owner put these on so I didn't have to do it myself.

The previous owner replaced the taillights with LED lights. They are AWESOME and very bright. There is no comparison with the light output of the original taillights and these LED's.
