does somone make a conversion kit to put LED's on a 1st gen if so who and any part numbers whould be helpful

 

ive seen led bulbs to replace the normal bulbs but never a kit. they were also pretty expensive, i think theres also some issues with the turn signal relay and the leds because they dont draw enough.

 

I tried them, not as bright as bulbs, I switched back

 

thanks for the info

 

Light Emitting Diodes
I have replaced the marker lights on the fenders and the ones below the tailgate on my 91 dually from the old incandesant ones to the new LED kind. I got the ones from Truck Lite, think I paid somewhere around $8.00 to $10.00 each for them. At first I did not think I would like them because they are not as bright overall from the lens but they are really bright looking head on into them at street level and they are 5 defined bright dots of light.
The ones they make for the 1157 replacements are not very good, I think they are too directional of a beam so you do not get much light out of the sides. I am trying to find a way to install the module from a commericial lamp unit inside the reflector of mine.
I figure I reduced my current consumption by about 80% so far. I sometimes have to leave my markers on for 6 to 10 hours at a time and although my lighting draws off my #2 isolated chassis battery it will barley drain it down. For a flasher, I am using a Deitz Heavy Duty flasher, the type used on semi's with trailers. Also I can now here when my turn signals are on..CLICK CLUNK CLICK CLUNK.
I am still looking for a LED to put in my ICC roof lights that are bright but with the new technology of the SMD microchip LED's this shouldn't be too difficult.
I like the LED turn / stop lights because when they blink, it is almost a burst of light and there is no decay time as the filaments cool down as with an incandesant.
This is just what I did... Jim.

 

I put the LED's on the fender markers and on the tailgate. I'm going ot put them on the rear flaps when the ones there burn out too. I like the looks of them better. I also used the LED's on my GN trailer for the stop/turn/tail lights. They are pretty sharp.
