White LED in DRL, switchbacks for turns and amber 194 LED for the corner markings.

HID projector setup, just "upgraded" to new bulbs and ballasts but at the limit of the projector housing :( Need the new version to bump wattage.

I don't see how LED would be any worse, my Roadglide has the factory LED headlights in a reflector housing and I think it works great. I would never run HID in a reflector housing, not only because it's not DOT legal but I'd probably get shot because that's what I want to do with every else running them!

It's not headlight related, but I've been happy with the 1157/1156 style conversion bulbs from superbrightleds.com. They also have the switchback style for the turn signals.

I'm looking for something decent for interior LED's. Everything I've had very dimly flashes when I tap the brakes. Is this a cheap bulb problem or something with the truck?

Also had LED in the license plate lights and they started blinking within days of having them in.

That's interesting. Lol. Where did you get these bulbs?

Amazon was a kit for all the interior bulbs.

The switch that's hanging down is for a LED light strip I put inside my daughters car seat so I can see her through the mirror at night. It's stand alone just didn't have enough wire on hand to run it to the dash.

I've had these LED Headlight Bulbsin our 08 Tahoe after the factory one burnt out; low beam. I've been very happy with them. They put out more light than factory and they even put out more light than my high beams. I feel the amount of light and distance is better than the factory ones.
I also have their LED back up lights and have been very happy with them; Tahoe & dually.

I had HID's in my 03 dually a few years ago and I feel these are alot better.

Look at firewire LEDS. That's where I got mine from and I have no complaints, I like them a lot better than the HIDs I had.
