Outer Limits 4x4 Board

has anyone replaced there original tail lights with LED ones with the standard rear bumper? i keep having problems with mine blowing globes from all the water and mud getting it there all the time, i was thinking if i tock the original lights out and try fitting something like these http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LED-TAIL-BRAKE-I ... 240%3A1318 so thay sat in the bumper flush not just screwed to the out side, any one done something similar? got pics?

cheers scott

Tho not LED's these work a treat.
just garden variety Truck n trailer lamps.
available in LED now days.
They have solved all my globe blowing issues, and rusted in globe issues.
fitted inside bumper with some trimmings

They're the LED autolights type - I've got them on the back of my tray and they're great, but I think they're too big to go inside the bumper.

There's heaps and heaps on the market now. Browse some online catalogues etc to work out what fits the best.

Remember you'll need an LED compatible blinker unit too, which requires a little bit of rewiring to get to work.


LED lights are the shizzle.

thanks guys

yer i no about the blinker unit thing, even if thay dont fit inside the bumper it wouldn't be hard to trim it so the holes bigger, but mounting it than will probably be an issue? i want to try make it as neat as possible so it still looks standard ish.

Not all require different blinker units, it says on the pack normally
i know mines a ute but i screwed em to a bit of black checkerplate with square tube behind.

^^ your zuk isnt tall enough, i think you should lift it some more =P

im running standard rears but LED indicators and park lights up front, theyre the mini trailer ones that measure about 60mmx12mm, very bright and ADR approved - but a resistor needed to be added to the wire to slow down the blink rate so it wasnt like a strobe light hehe

Ive been trying to come up with a LED/bumper combo for the rear of my Sierra for over 12 months now, and considering the cost of some of the ones Ive wanted, these 80mm combo ones dont look too bad an option. Not sure how they'd look in a standard zook bumper, but I guess you could make them work.
