The LED Bulbs sux. They dont reflect light in the housing as well as a regular bulb.
All you see is a red dot instead of a complete luminated lens and housing.

RECON has some new ones for the 3rd gens, look great. All my other LED lights are bright as all get out so I don't know how you can say they are not as bright as a regular bulb. I think they are brighter. The biggest thing is how many LED segments are in the cluster, I have seen plug and play replacement (ie, 1157) LED bulbs that did not have very many segments and are dim but you get what you pay for.

There's a lot of overpriced crap out there for led bulbs that don't last and aren't bright. There's also more to it than just buying a bulb with leds on it. You gotta get the right bulb for the job otherwise you'll end up with a red dot that doesn't illuminate the housing etc. I've had really good luck with autolumination's http://autolumination.com/ and I'm running their bulbs in everything interior/exterior except for my taillight bulbs. I've got spiderliteX2 leds in those. http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.as...tfamilyid/1929 Don't forget you'll need some resistors.

The guys at the dodge dealer here told me that if I install LEDs in the front parking lights in addition to the rear, there is no need for the resistor. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it works. I need to take one of my led tails out and put it in the front to see if it works.
