Front interior lights are 194 bulbs and rear dome and map lights are 37mm festoons. So five bulbs total for inside your truck, but you have to remember if your buying high powered oversized bulbs make sure the dimensions will fit in the housings!

We had basically three snowfalls that's it and two of the three didn't amount to anything, very strange. As of last year we were at 99 inches almost setting a record. I guess the world is coming to an end!

Al Gore will make some money this year We finally got a cold front moving through and it was nice and cool but like 40 mph winds.

Question about your led tail lights. Does it fill up the whole tail light area like the incandescent bulbs, just brighter and faster? I want led tails...I just installed recon red smoked but I'm not so sure about them. I like the look of the stock ones but want LEDs for brightness and sharp on and off. But I worry about using led bulbs because I'm afraid you will see the led build in the middle and not much around it if that makes since. In your vid it looks real good but I'm not sure if. It really looks that way in person...follow.

It actually fills them up very nice, a lot of beam pattern is directed at the sides which the oem reflectors do a great job of bouncing that light backwards. Don't worry about the bulb being noticeable, just make sure you get similar ones like I have, which are 180 degree viewing angles.

Old thread I know, but looking at doing this soon.

Joeseph, are you still running these? Any problems?

Also, you needed 3 ohms per side front and back, but did you only use one on each tail light even though there's 2 bulbs per side?

No issues at all for me, worth every penny I spent! There are 2-6ohm resistors tied in parallel on each light in front and back. The back you only need a load on one bulbs not both.
