Truck LED lights

Post by Grumpy Stumpy »

I am in the market for some bling bling LED's for use as rear indicators aand brake lights. Can anyone advise me where I might be able to get some and any idea what they are worth? I am Brisbane.

Cheers

Could check out the Narva website, and get in contact with them about where their agent locations are.

Try going to Truck places around your area aswell.

Have a look on www.hella.com.au, get me some part numbers and I can organise a price.

No guarantees it will be world-beating but my neighbour is a Hella distributor. It's always cheaper if a few people all buy the same stuff at once.

Local Shire had em on their "Road Maintainance" trucks but removed em after ppl complained about the poor visivility and an accident in which a passenger car struck the truck ( driver said there were no lights visiable).

Their brightness intensity is severly deminished during daylight hours specfically during early morning and late arvo sunlight.

pay to check it out first...

Im planning on swapping both the rear lights and the front indicators over to LEDs.
So do I just need to get one those timed flasher unit things that BJ was talking about?
Do these just slot into the normal spot?
Who makes em?

Thanks
Paul.

I am pretty sure that they have a resistor pack or something in there to make the system "see" the same sort of load as a normal incandescent light ..

A little tip, when replacing ute tail lights with the hella 3 in 1 LED units you will have to add a red reflector to the rear of the vehicle somewhere cause the LED's don't have any built in. If you get the semi trailer version of the 3 in 1 you will find these are a bit brighter as well. You should be looking at around $120ish ± $30 each for the big semi ones.

Just paid $180 for 6 lights - 2 each of reverse, tail/brake and indicator - check the Narva website - ordered them via Thompson's spare parts - arrived from Syndey two days later - I'm happy enough with that....
