Hi All,

Thinking about getting new tail lights soon, and i have a little question about it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M9BAKV8/?coliid=IOSD8RSUBH3AL&colid=3KIB7BEGTN86V&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

These are what i'm thinking about getting, the LED section would eliminate the bulb in the top portion of the tail light and have the wires going to the socket go straight to the LED's. I also didn't know that the left side of the reverse light section is just a dummy section and has nothing in or a socket.

The new ones do though. So here's the question, would I have to make a new set of wires to make a second reverse light? Or is it not even possible?

Thanks!

I have not done this put it says that no alteration is required. However, if you get them and are not sure how to put them in, I would recommend (as it states on the listing) to have someone install them. If they are correct they should just bolt in but again, I have not done this so I would have to trust the seller.

They look like they will fit but the only thing I would be concerned about is if they accounted for the difference in resistance. LED's and halogen bulbs are different so as long as they added some resistors they should work just find.

Let me know how they work if you move forward with it. Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks
