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?

no reason to wire in a resistor to foul up your wiring system.
pending on how many leds you plan on using the tried and true old school by-metal flasher might work.
if not or you just want to cover your self. they make these electronic flashers to replace the factory flashers. these items are made to work with led lights.
only lights to be included here are your turn lights all the rest are plug and work.
but for running lights for travel time there is no reason to adapt your system to run leds. your motors alt produces more than enough to keep everything working with extra to spare.
now like my yamaha fz1 it has a odd system for making juice and as the motor was designed to be used on a track. adding lights can hurt. NO WAY to add more juice to the mix. even a couple led spot lights are too much for the system.
but this is a sports bike not a rv hauler.
even for any truck motor one can always up grade there alt to put out more juice. some can run two alts. (one for the truck one for "other").
how many batteries under the hood of your truck? newer trucks and cars should be using two any how, (to much electronics).
