[QUOTE="Reptar, post: 350292, member: 1883"] Hmm that's interesting. When I installed 1 taillight worth and saw the LEDs were the wrong ones, I did test the flashers and they were normal. Maybe once both tails are done it may blink faster. I had to take them back out though because I'm not driving around with switchbacks in the taillights. For the resistors if/when I have to install them I planned on using these style wire taps: [img]http://www.grizzhopper.com/Wire-Tap.jpg[/img] Not those exact ones but that same general type. Tap into the wires off the bulb, and attach spade connectors to the resistors, and plug the resistors into the wire taps, along with the resistor mounted up somewhere behind the light. You really want a good positive connection, either soldering, or a good wire tap. Just sticking the wire ends behind the bulb is asking for issues down the road.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR][url]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f81/led-replacement-921-backup-bulbs-20070/index6.html#post349750[/url] something along the size of this 12w LED reverse light was what I thought I'd be getting for the reverse and cargo lamps. Something around the same physical size as the factory bulb with maximum output power to maximize light output. [/QUOTE]
