So, I should be getting my tails anyday now but im curious if i should change the stock bulbs to LEDS - i already received the led reverse lights i ordered last week. does anyone have any ideas for the other two bulbs. The last thing i want is for anything to warp... Keep in mind i have an 05 so i would really like something i can just plug in and use. Thanks for the help
:thumbsup:
Also links would be a plus

I'm sure you'll be fine with stock bulbs unless you put cold water on a hot tail. ;)

yeaa.. i've seen some horror stories elsewhere and it literally looks like someone took a heat gun to the tail light and kicked it in

well that is why i made this post lol .. i sent stockers to get tinted to daniel w/o thinking that they would warp until i read a post about it.. my question is am i able to replace the bulbs with leds w/o the need for resistors.. i already did it to the reverse so i figure i should be safe with the others

I can't recall any 05-06 tails warping, just 07+. I could be wrong. You should be fine danny

Danny, Both mine and Blakes have warped! Id swap out your brake bulbs with some VLEDs just to be safe! ;)

Also, you could just get the actual full LED tails as seen on theebay. Plus when you get them tinted, they will still shine through really well. As far as resistors, you will need them for the signal bulbs.

That's really surprising. I've sold dozens of these and not 1 message, email, or call about warping.

Can you guys post links/part#/make for LED reverse bulbs? I have an 08 (I think i saw a post elsewhere showing various part#'s for the various WK models and they were different...cant find the post!!!!). I live in a dark area with a long driveway and need as much light out the back as possible. I also saw 8-bulb is a better route than 13? More direct and condensed light stream? Any feedback is appreciated!
