Just courious; how much of the taillight shines through with these "VHT" applied coats? My concern would be the brake lights as well. I would think you'd have a tough time explaining to the accident officer why the person behind you rear ended you because they did not see your brake lights.
They look great on the truck, but do they allow enough light to be seen at the "legal" distances behind the truck?

Make sure the LED housings come with a "load resister" built in. I'm thinking the better made, more expensive ones do, and the cheaper priced may not. Since LED's use much less current to light, the turn signal/emergancy flasher unit will flip on and off about 3 times faster than normal. One fix is to install a "load resister" at EACH LED bulb location (not the best solution, as a conventional bulb will not operate properly with a load resister installed). See the first link below to order a flasher that will work with both LED's AND bulbs in our Fords (part number EP27L). This way you could keep yellow conventional bulbs in the front, while having LED's in the taillights. The second link is their home page, that has a link to automotive LED bulbs for all applications. I installed the EP27L flasher in my 2005 STX, equipped with the red LED parking/brake/turn signal LED bulbs in the rear, and the standard yellow filiment bulbs in the front. They all work, and flash normally with this flasher installed.
