Building my own flush tail lights

[Justinswidebody]

I tagged you in my link higher up on this page, with a video of the reverse lights in operation. They are pretty sweet and work much better than I imagined at first.

Some how I missed that .. but I see it now.. thanks!!! Definitely not bad at all... Weird I looked at the lights the sent and I seen the LEDs inside the circles which look like white LEDs.. where are the red LEDs at?

I just need to look at those lights more...

Do you have a link to your tail gate light?

I like that RR has the ridge around the perimeter.

I agree 100% love that part of the lights

This is the exact link I used, but you can find it in a few places. Except on their actual website because for some reason it's listed as unavailable.

Amazon.com: XK Glow XK041024 : Automotive

If you get this one let me know, I'll pop my tails off and tell you what color goes to what because it's different colors than stock. (Total PITA trying to figure out)

Thank you!

More interested in how they went about incorporating the turn and brake line... And making it sequential....

The side light they sent me was chrome ring

Yeah I didn't install the chrome ring

And YES, they have reverse lights

My main thing is I want something that looks newer.... All trailer lights look old and cheap. I like outside perimeter LEDs. That was my main reasoning for choosing the lights I chose.

Your set up is slick. I like it very much!


This is the exact reason I hate the Combat lights. They look like a homebrew I-gotta-pass-inspection hodgepodge hillbilly ghetto setup (and I know hillbilly, trust me) $600 for a pair of $25 truck-lite lights and a plastic shroud. You wanna talk rip-off.. If people like em that's great, but you could have made them for $75 and a saturday afternoon....

That brand's light housing is actually aluminum, but yeah they cost way too much.

LOL, even making it a $45 sheet of aluminum and add the wiring, it's still under $150 and still looks as good as a trailer light bolted to a wrecked fender ?

I know. Unfortunately where I'm working right now, I have to travel a total of 4 hours. So I have no time for tail lights for a few weeks... I'm sorry

 

[Viper501]

I completely understand work. Sorry for your travel time.

 

[Overland_Atl]

Im in for a set!

Well these resistors in the RR flush mount tail light run hot......gotta call RR this week.

You need to bolt them to the metal of the truck body. That's how it will disapate the heat
