Brake,tail and signal light conversion to LED
I have a 2012 3500 silverado and pull a 14000 lb 5th wheel. I want to switch out the standard tail lights to LED. I'm sure you all have done this, any advise?

...You factory incadescent vehicle tail lights are plenty bright and the bulbs have a long life (I have a 11 yr old vehicle with 200,000 miles on it with ALL the ORIGINAL incadescent bulbs).
Well, in MY experience, I had a rear lamp fail... in about 6 years, with very little mileage.
The LED replacement I used is SIGNIFICANTLY brighter, and uses less power, and makes my TOAD lights a little brighter as well (I suspect due to less voltage drop in the circuit).
LEDS are like new cool electronic toys. I don't take very good care of my electronic toys. I just use them. If they get subject to something that makes them fail, it just gives me a reason for an UPGRADE!!!
So, even if one of my new gizzmo LEDs fail in the reasonably new future, it won't bother me one bit to replace BOTH with the newest generation of LED lighting.
