Smoked!...though not apparent in the first photo

WhipE350...Those are the same ones I ordered. Were they plug and go? What did you do for reverse and signal bulbs? LED?

I wanted to change all my front and rear lights to LED, but seems that it won't be that easy.

Just installed my smoke DEPO tailights.... BUT the outside LEDs don't do anything!! Are the outside LEDs brake light??? The inner LEDs work with my brakes...but the outter ones don't do anything. Would it have anything to do with the "small" outter corner lights I removed, as they don't fit in the new DEPO assemblies?

Thanks,

Dre

I didn't do anything special with the bulbs, just installed as is. The outside light is part of the parking lights and the Depo don't have it...instead you get just a reflector.

But you have two sets of LEDs per light right? One inner and one outter by the reflector...My LED by the outter reflector won't work!!

Thanks for your help!

Dre, darn good question. Is it maybe just for looks?

DRE,
I just ordered and installed the depo lights as well. The outside LEDs are the rear fog lights, and just the drivers side works anyway.

So what I did was to plug the outside LEDs into the rear light blub spot, NOT the Brake light spot, but the spot that lights up as part of the rear night lights. The problem is that the wire is too short. So to avoid cutting the wire, I cut the plastic to allow the wire to pull over to the spot.

Now I have night LEDs and LED brake lights.
bulb turn and reverse lights. and bulb drivers fog light.
