Don't make the mistake I did. I intstalled the same LED taillights as Tast101 (Deanti') did; looks like the same truck too. However, I didn't realize that the light positioning was different, and I blew fuses and ruined a couple of gauges in my dash AND fryed a component in my alternator. It was an expensive lesson; I was so pissed off at myself. Next time I do an elect. mod, I'll check here first.

Minus the smoke and fire, I'd do the mod all over again, I love these lights - they are very responsive and look great.

These tails are probably my favorite exterior mod on my truck...

...most replacements are so cheesy looking, like they belong on a 16 year old's ricer...these are more like OEM.

Yea I wish i would've known about these when I had my nbs.... these are the sickest stock/oem looking LED tails i've ever seen for the nbs

Anybody know how to make the top and middle lights light up at the same time?....as in they both light up as parking lights, both light up as brake lights, and both light up as turn signals....

I bought these off a member on here and put on tonight and now my cruise is out as well, guess I'll have to run by autozone and see what that resistor is all about

How to install your LED Tails.



(Don't remember his name off the top of my head, but on TF.com he had a little wiring diagram to have both the blinker and brake light to work in unison like the esky lights) Hopefully he'll join up and chime in.

Can you maybe provide the link to this? I couldn't find it and I'm trying to get both my lights to work in unison, I figured out how to get them both to be on at the same time but working in unison is a whole nother can o worms =/

Been searching for a while trying to see if anyone has any idea on how to do this, has anyone yet? I'd like for the bottom half to act as additional brake lights.

I have the smoke LEDs and the smoke is really light. So you get the smoke appearance but no real reduction in lumens. Looks great with my Carbon paint.

Might have to fool with figuring this out.. I like that look.

I searched on tf.com for any thread containing "led tail" & couldn't find a diagram. Has anyone found it or know how to wire up these tails so blinker & brake light up together?
