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?

are you looking to replace the TV or 5er tail lights?

here are the ones I did my 5er with, stock flasher no problems.

Changed out to these Bargman LED's on our Avion Platinum a few years ago. Amazing how people notice you want to move over with proper lighting. Well worth the bucks.

Those are the same Bargmans I have..

Do yourself a favor and buy an extra pair.. You WILL be replacing them in the near future and it will be better to have a replacemnt on hand so if it fails while on the road you can replace it..

By the way, my marker lights almost foiled my plans of getting my trailer inspected this morning.. The center marker on the rear FAILED to light this morning :M

I was somewhat prepared since several of these lights were only half lighting..

I bought a bunch of THESE modules, added a 200 ohm resistor to cut down the brightness (they ARE extremely bright). Cutting down the brightness also reduces the current drawn and WILL add considerable more LIFE to the LEDS.

Bought amber ones also and I WILL be preparing MORE of these replacements...

Now to "can open" those junky Bargmans and rework them to be reliable :S
