Changed all my Lights to LED's
Just changed out the rest of my truck lights to led's. I had to add load resistors to each light for the turn signals. Platinum sean told me that the front turn signals on his truck didnt need them, but my 2011 did. I bought all the led's from superbrightleds.com along with the load resistors for the rear turn signals and the front load resistors from o'reilly auto parts.
Here are all the bulbs I bought.
And the load resistors
Here's some comparison pictures of the bulbs. Left is LED and right is filament bulb.
Here is a comparison that really is day and night, the side markers on the headlights.

Some extra pictures of the load resistors, had to parallel two on each side front and back. Bought 4 from superbrightleds and 4 from oreilly auto parts.
Had to parallel them to get 3 ohms otherwise you will get hyperflash.
ones from oreilly
Mounted them on part of the frame behind the headlight.
Rear taillights screwed them to the frame with stainless screws.
Heres a comparison of the back left is the incadescent and right is the LED.

Looks good; really impressed with the light output of the rears. I had LEDs but took 'em out due to the *****ty light output.
