Replacing all bulbs in Tail lights with LEDs?
 
So I just got my tail lights smoked, and it turned out pretty dark. I was thinking it might be a good idea to replace all of the bulbs with some bright LEDs. Can anyone tell me how many bulbs per tail light would be needed, and if any of them are colored?

they are 7440's. one clear and one orange per taillight.

Shouldn't there be at least 3 bulbs per tail light? Blinker, Brake, and the "running" light?

Also, what about the third brake light, is that just a single clear bulb?

i believe all the other ones are already LED's..

kevin.z 03-13-2010 07:43 PM

ya, all other lights such as brake are alreay leds

Ah okay, so replacing those with something like this won't really be any brighter?

you're going to remove the trunk liner and lamp just to put new LED's?

I want to order. What color should I get and how many? Thanks for the help!

Why not? I'm going to be removing the trunk liner anyway in a few weeks to do my sound deadening.

I still want to know if the LED's from YourLEDShop.com are going to be brighter than the stock ones.

the stock is pretty bright already. i would be surprised if it isnt any brighter

flashburn 03-14-2010 06:53 AM

Darn, okay. So the only two that aren't LED's already are reverse and turn signal?

Search for a guy named "acree", he is an electronics/ LED genius. Not sure if he's on this board, but you can def find him on my350z.com

Those LED's you posted will not be very bright.. Try something like this.. pricey yes but probably one of the brightest LED's you are going to find.
