LED Replacement Bulbs
I want to replace the 1157 tail lights on my fifth wheel. The lenses on the lights are red. Should I purchase clear LED's or red? Has anyone else made this change? Can you recommend a supplier? I hope...

Get the right bulbs and they will work fine. Have had them in the fiver tail lights for several years and all 8 lights on the truck are LEDS. They come on faster and brighter than incandescent bulbs.

Only issue is sufficient resistance for the directional flasher to operate properly. I have four taillights on the fiver; with 4 LEDs the signals would not operate properly. With LEDs in 2 of them everything works fine and I have the added benefit of the top brake lights (LED) coming on a split second before the lower ones (incandescent bulbs.)
I have red LEDs behind red lenses as that was all I could get at the time. I expect that white LEDs behind red lenses might be a bit brighter.
