CHEAP LED Running Lights

Mods, this is not an ad, but remove if it is against the rules


Anyway I was looking for an ID bar for my tailgate...I found this guy on ebay: http://stores.ebay.com/LED-surPLUS

Compare his buy0it0now prices to this place: http://www.ledtrailerlights.com/stt/53-4400.htm


So if you are looking for inexpensive add-on leds:

Got me some lights on the way!!!

Pretty good prices. Wonder if I can get the ID bar to fit between the bumper and the tailgate.

The 15 inch four function with red lens....I think the red lens with red LED looks a little better than clear lens/red LED

Might want to measure before ordering that one. It may sit slightly off center because of the tire winch crank hole. I think the 13.5" version may work better. Let me know what you come up with.

Well, the spare winch hole isnt the problem....the light is just tall enough to catch on the bottom lip of the tailgate when you drop it....maybe a little engineering will help

I wondered about that, but only being 3/4" thick I didn't think it would be a problem. Guessed wrong.

That is the thinnest one I've found....If it was a little more narrow the other way, it would clear....

Here's a thought. Is there enough room between the receiver hitch and the bottom of the bumper for the ID lamps?
