LED tail lights?

[virginiafiveo]

all, I'm wondering about doing the LED brake lights. now I have the 99-01 cobra tail lights installed on my cobra, but I'm wondering if it will be of any benefit to make the lights LED's. anyone have any pictures etc? opinions?

Thanks
Phillip

big difference in lighting?

I also have the tag and reverse led's. I would be interested in the barke lights as well - does anyone make/sell them??

 

[virginiafiveo]

lethal has them.

would the led brakes require a different flasher though?

All of the brake lights are the same. They use a 3157 LED Bulb. On the 99-04 cars you'll need 4 resistors. One resistor per turn signal bulb. Since the 99-04 cars have 2 bulbs blink on each side when turning each of those will require a resistor to keep the bulbs from having the fast blink like you get when a turn signal bulb is out. We carry a kit which includes all 6 brake light bulbs and the 4 resistors for $124.95.

Here's a link.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks, Jared

now what can you do about a 99 cobra tail lights? my red doesn't blink on turn signal. it's the amber area only?

Please take an up close picture of one side of the tail light assembly and I should be able to figure it out.

Is this kit plug & play?

Indeed it is. The bulbs simply replace the stock bulbs in their stock sockets. Then all you do is install the resistors (1) per turn signal bulb with the supplied wire taps and your done.

It's about a 25 minute job.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

I have the LED Sequntial taillights in mine and they are brighter and look awesome.

Which sequential kit did you use? I just installed the Webelectric one myself, and I'm now considering adding the LED's too.

I got the ones from Mustang Project - Discount Mustang Restoration Parts LED Tail Lights 2005 2006 2007 Mustang Parts They are a lil pricey, but nobody around here has them so I got them to just be different ya know.

Cool setup, I have never heard of that one before.

Anybody have pics?

 

[Steeda04SVT]

I'll try to get some pics and footage for you guys.

I tried to install led tail lights but it wouldn't work. I guess it is because i didn't have the resistors.

Can you elaborate a little more for us on what you mean by "it wouldn't work" ?

What brand bulbs are you using?

Keep in mind LEDs are polarity sensitive. Meaning if they are plugged imto the bulb socket one way and aren't working you need to turn the bulb around in the socket to get the polarity right.

The only thing the resistor is used for on a 99-04 car is the turn signals. They will keep you from getting the fast blinking turn signal as if a bulb was out. Besides that they bulbs should still light up.

Hope that helps.
