LED lighting - Exterior lighting

Suggestion. Grab a 30 amp aux relay and wire it up to get the trigger from the fog lamp relay. Then wire the light bar through on the relay so when you toggle hi beams the light bars and headlight are in hi beam. Then when you toggle lo beam the light bars are shut down. 

 

I built this same idea with four 100w spotlights across the front of my truck. 2 bulbs were for lo beam and 2 bulbs were for hi beam. Worked awesome for years.

You're stuck. There is no LED bulb capable of being used in a factory reflector period.

O.K.  So for the Factory headlights what is the best bulb?  In a bright white? 

 

Thanks

SilverStars are about the best in a halogen. 

 

Then there are the big ones 100/80w blubs...

Hi Mike,

               Just a Quick Question.  I walked past my truck Monday morning at 3:30 A.M.  and  I noticed that the left  reverse light was on and the truck had been parked for 2 days. When I was shifting the truck on the weekend I noticed that it sounded different.  I was in 4 wheel drive.  So my question is how is the reverse lights controlled?  An adjustable switch?  Or is my linkage have a loose bushing?

 

Thanks

Michael

Auto is a switch near the pan.

 

Man the reverse switch is near the shift tower.

Thanks have you done a REverse light bulb in L.E.D. ?  I have one that is lit bright with 2 L.E.D.s and another with 20 L.E.D.'s that i can see are barely on.

 

Thanks

Michael

Naw... Not as good as my 100w watt bulbs on the axle. I will upgrade them but I'm going to add floodlights in LED to the axle. Much better than the stock back up lights that doesn't work really.

Another stupid question  I just looked and my 2001 has a 3 wire switch, most of the parts houses show a 2 wire.

Is there a manual that shows the difference between the Neutral Safety switch and the Back up light?

 

So I see a difference of a Vin 6 or a Vin 7?  My Vin is G7 is that what they are talking about?
