I actually follow u on YouTube and I watched ur video about ur whole taillight ordeal lol. I don't actually plan on getting new tails. I recently nite shaded my factory chrome ones and I just want a brighter reverse light so I can see better out of my rear view camera. I might just end up trying out new LED reverse bulbs. They're cheap and no resistors are needed. BTW I like ur videos. Keep it up!

What are the sizes of the brake/turn signal bulbs and the reverse bulbs? And I read that you need resistors for the brake/turn signal bulbs?
Go right ahead! The more people it helps, the better

Converted to recon smoke LED tails and today finally got condensation in passenger side. I don't know how it got there as it was not raining or anything.

Same thing happened all the time on my last truck. That's why I chose to stick with my factory lights this time around and paint them myself. They look pretty much like the recons minus the LEDs

They say if you seal them up with some more silicone once you get them you'll have zero problems, but I do like oem stuff better as well, seems like the plastic is 10x better.
