Oh, for headlights? No. I was talking about tail lights and corner lights.

Yes. The brake light bulb is a dual function as a turn signal for the back of the truck too

I know the whole problem w/o using projectors and hid bs, that's why I'm not doing hids since I don't wanna do the retrofit. I was asking stock vs the led for light output. Also thanks for the links, I've already done the cab, reverse, license, and extra lights under the dash. I'm just trying to see what everyone thinks are the best for heads and fogs. Also for anyone considering, when you do brake/signals use red led's.
