LED Bulb Recommendations

Did you use the same lights you said you were going to use in the first post? I'm looking to do the exact same thing on mine and I think your truck came out excellent. Did you use blue or super white for your bulbs? How do you feel the reverse lights work? They look good, but are they as bright as the stock OEM bulbs? Also, Did you try the vanity mirror LED bulbs? Thanks for any help on this.

Hey sorry that it took me so long to get back however it has been HECTIC

raidernationmike: Naw i didnt witch out the vanity bulbs. The only person that uses that thing is the GF and she says their fine

Scotto2323: Thanks for the complements

NJ Metsfan77: Yep i used the exact ones that i listed in the first post. I used the super white as i felt that the blue wouldnt be the look that i was looking for. I feel like the reverse lights look great and they put out AT LEAST the same amount of light if not a little bit more.

IncisionInd: Do your bulbs flicker the end when they dim out. (when you turn the key on, and the interior lights turn off)

@scotto2323: i just installed the same setup including vanity LEDs and puddle lamps. mine dont flicker.. they just shut off when (when it's supposed to dim out)

Mine do on the inetrior lights

Mine when it fades out go all the way to very dim flick once and turn off.

Mine flicker once at the end too, wish they didn't though. I had old festoon bulbs with like 9 small leds in inside the single tube that faded all the way, but they died so that does not say much.

[raidernationmike]

here are two links... but currently, they are sold out. Believe the GMC bulb size for reverse lights are 7442 but the 7440 works:

^ Yeah, LED reverse lights do not provide adequate lighting.

I have to disagree, I have had LED reverse lights in a number of vehicles and I was always impressed with the brightness and the look. They are much brighter than OEM, but not as bright as HID obviously.
