Default LED brake light bulb question.

What do I need to make a smooth transition from stock incandescent tail light bulbs to LED replacements?

Basically some load resistors. Thats all thats on mine. I have the Pandemic Flush mount kit.. No complaints haven't seen any JK's in my town with them. But then again my Jeep is one of the most built Jeeps riding around my town.

LEDs are easy. Basically you can just swap any of your incandescent bulbs out for LED. If the light BLINKS (stop lights, blinkers) then you'll need a Load Resistor wired in, but that's easy.

Check out our site and join our mailing list. We're launching our own brand of high quality LED Replacement Bulbs in about a week. If you've ever heard of Diode Dynamics our line is the same quality, only 20% cheaper.

So keep your eyes peeled.

No problem.. I'v done all the work on my Jeep myself ("Except I watched and learned how to set up my 4.56's") Wished I had gone 4.88. But If you have any questions Hit me up on here I can try to walk you trough it.
