Brighter tail lights
Just a little addition to Jeff's post...
I liked the look and low current draw of LEDs also, and replaced all clearance, turn/stop/tail lights with both Maxxima LED's and TruckLite LED's...what a difference. I also drag a 24' enclosed trailer behind the BB, and replaced all those lights with LED's also. I plugged the trailer into the BB's trailer receptacle, and the trailer lights wouldn't come on. Worked with my Ford Superduty, but not the BB. Long story short, the BB plug was only getting around 7 volts, not enough to zap the trailer LED's. I had to rewire the plug wiring, put in Bosch relays for stop/turn/tail/clearance lights, and now get the full 12+ volts to the plug. Had me confused (more than usual) for a little while, but what a difference. LED's are definitely voltage dependent, where standard filament bulbs will still light, however dim. FWIW... Have a great day! Kevin McKeown Yorba Linda, CA (off to cut the grass) 1986 38' PT [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
