Read they brake a lot

I know several people that have them, including myself( I don't count as they are still in boxes) and none have mentioned any problems. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen but I haven't heard it. Next weekend is Dino's Git Down and I'd suspect 500 of the trucks probably run their products. I'll ask around and see if I get any negative feedback.

I just swapped the bulbs to LED....sylvania brand in the tail lights. Not a fan of the dotted look on the aftermarket housings

Seem to be discontinued.

The pair I got from Lmc has been truckin for like 6-7 years now up north, 100+ summer -50 winters. 60,000+ miles, havent had a single issue and no burnt out leds either. Had a newer truck that I couldn't ever get a good set of led tail lights.

Full assembly, not the drop in boards or bulb replacement. Sequential turns and rapid flash. Plug and play. Very bright.

How about for 78 stepside? Do the side lights come in LED unit replacements, yellow or white? What about dash lights too while Im thinking about it. I just started work on this 78 and am not familiar with the modern truck lighting.
Sorry to jack your thread bro....apologies

I'm contemplating these, waiting to see if they do another revision on them. They did have a bulb in the center originally and the perimeter was just a running light, I liked that better. Then they lost that vendor and changed them to be what they are now, not sure I like the current one

Well this is a real bummer. None of my friends have had issues but they don't put the miles on that you do.

Oh trust me, it's a bummer for me too. There's no better looking light on the market and I LOVE the sequential flash. But I'm tired of having broken tail lights all the time

Since United Pacific has issues....

There is a guy in Argentina that does LED lights very reasonably. They are very high quality, hand made. He can design whatever you want; sunburst, sequential, etc. He's made a lot of custom lights for my Nova and my friends and he did some for a Corvette on the cover of Hot Rod a few years ago. You can find him on Facebook or ? DanyR and digitaled is his company. He uses Google translate. Lights are custom made and to your house in less than 2 weeks

Wonder if these are Union Pacific too?
