Sorry guys I don't mean to offend anyone. But this is how I feel about LEDs.
I've been doing LEDs commercial and residential for 7 years. I'm old, been tweaking on cars since the 90's. But I don't recommend buying, LED made markers, complete tail or headlight LED aftermarket. The only fixture I would buy LED is OEM, cause it's been tested and the quality passes all OEM standards. Those aftermarket ones can burn out fast cause of heat. LEDs are like plants and they have to breath. I personally recommend retrofitting cause if the bulb burns out you can always replace it verses buying a new fixture if the LED dies. Sorry if I went against anyone on this thread.

Well I think depends the brand of taillights u re going to get. Remember u pay what u get for. The little led's if they burn no problem they still pretty cheap and last longer to replace. Just go to auto zone and ask for the package of 2 194 bulbs, $5.96 for the freaking things. Crazy. Dale on led for ebay a package of 10 like $12.00 bucks. Better
