What have you done to your square lately??

Hey val, would yo mind grabbing a comparison shot between the incandescent and led bulbs in the tail/brake light?

When I swapped mine originally, they were actually dimmer so I stuck with the incandescent bulbs. Reverses were a ton brighter though.

I'll try to get a few shots tomorrow night. The reverse lights are definitely about 5x brighter, the parking lamps about 2x, the stop lights are also about 5x brighter. The blinkers and hazards have a much sharper cut(off/on) to them, I think its pretty cool.

I ordered these for the front parking/turn signal lights also, just haven't got them in the mail yet. They are the amber colored ones.

A few weeks ago I walked into autozone, and was checking them out on their display. They had a price of $28 for the pair of stop/parking light LED's. I still don't know how they stay in business with online stores like rockauto, ebay, amazon etc.

Speaking of lights, when I was looking where the rear tank would go, I noticed a housing like a license plate bulb. Is that to light up the ground when backing up? It was about center of the bumper. With out crawling under the truck you can't see the bulb.

That light there, is your license plate illuminator. I got pulled over many a times for that bulb being out. The police here in AZ are rather tough on that.

It's attached. It's not center as I said. It's just outside the frame. If it comes on when in reverse, the bulb is blown lol.

Mine has the same thing. On mine it's not a license plate light because there are two of those mounted thru the bumper. I thought it was used for hooking/unhooking a trailer. I'm interested in seeing if someone knows exactly what it's for.

If it's not for the license plate, then it might be something that was added as part of a towing package from the factory. It doesn't look aftermarket to me.

It's a license plate light, trucks sold without rear bumpers would have got them. Someone must have wired it to the reverse lights.

X2...thats a rear license plate light for a non bumper truck. My square had one...it has a glass lens. Quite retro.

Yep, license plate light one of my donors had one.

It might be handy for dealing with the spare tire carrier at night.
