Those both looks sweet. Definitely something I'm going to consider in the future. I like how it's not "in your face" like those crappy altezza taillights. It looks stock but makes your truck look newer.

The side marker lights are LED, but you use your original reverse bulb.

Could you take a side picture at night for the LED markers, I'd like to know how bright they are, could you also take another picture in the back with a blinker on, I'd like to know if there brighter than stock bulbs? What do you think?

I've heard though that led's are generally not as bright as standard bulbs.

I'd like to get them, they look great overall, keep the stock look to.

Nice looking tail lights. I've been wanting to get some LED taillights ever since I got my LED recon brake light a month ago. I might have to get a pair of these.

I love LEDs! Fellas, those LEDs look great, and more importantly, they WORK great, too I bet.

I might have to get some of those.

At the very least, on big trucks the LED tail lights show up WAY better at night!

Maybe not quite as good in daytime, but not too shabby.

I had a set of LED trailer lights on the back of my F350 w/Knapheide service body and they were pretty good until LEDs started dying.

The tank trailer I pull has crappy incandescent lights that constantly are out. I'm going to put brackets so I can use sealed LED tails on it!

Looks sweet! I see those in my future.

As for LED's vs standard bulbs, no comparison! I got to spend one million on a new Ladder Truck for my department, went all LED and there is no comparison to the lights on our new rig vs the old truck. The LED's blow away the old lights.

LED's should last a very long time too. Surprised to hear that they started blowing out.

I like the stock look and the brighter performance.

I know one if you asked a similar question but just to clarify. Are the back up lights any brighter on either version? It'd be worth it for that in my mind if they were brighter.

There are 2 different kinds represented here. That's why I was asking the questions to the guys that have them that would have the first hand experience.

Seadrive's look like they have lots of different lens diffractions that might change the light projection. Also, what brand are yours Seadrive and what was the price for comparison?

It's a Ranch Hand 'Cowboy' with a 10" drop!

TigerRag.... I believe Sea/Drives LED's and mine are exactly the same.
