LED Brake and signals
Any hints for a 1999 E 350 LED install for the brake and signals? It cannot be that easy....a plug n play? Many thanks Gary Haupt

In the case of vehicle tail lights, power savings isn’t the point at all. You’ve got plenty of power available and the amount of energy it takes to run the lights is an immeasurably tiny amount that won’t make any difference.
LEDs themselves are super reliable, but the Chinese garbage manufacturing isn’t. So they fail a lot, usually the cheaper they are the faster they fail.
We run them on big trucks at work because they look cool, but honestly time has shown the old incandescents to be more reliable.
I’d say leave your taillights alone. They’re fine. But if you do want LEDs, the aftermarket lenses with the LEDs built in are usually a lot brighter than if you just screw in an 1157 replacement in the stock housing.
