Anyone own a Everest and replaced the Tail lights with LED

[W7PSK]

They are 4" flange mount and Im having a dickens of a time picking out the myraid of 4" options. Some say 5in with 4 lens etc etc. I just want to find a set that would fit the stock and change me over to LED stop turn tail. Going to replace the white backup lights (usless pretty much) with Stop Turn tail and wire them with the outside stop turn tail.

So anyone done it ?

Totally agree. I trucked for 20 years and worked at night most of that time. Rarely saw campers traveling at night. Why change them out if you are parked somewhere at night anyway?

The ones I got were grommet mount. Unfortunately the Everest has molded receptacles for the lights so Flange Mount is required. I cant seem to find any good ones. We head out next Friday so Im going to replace the LED bulbs back to stock and wait till I find some good LED lights next time.

Rick. I droped the back up wire down and bought two lights and mounted them below.

Those look very similar to ours, only ours already has the 2 lights per side in addition to the reverse lights.

Thanks Den, think I found a nice set.
Ill remember about drilling the hole when I install them. Heading to Phoenix next week and wanted them installed and ready to go. Never use the back ups so converting them to Stop Turn Tail.

What model are those lights, I have the indentations like you do, so The long oblong like jjj's wouldn't work. Those would.

Go to Bargman.com.
They have an LED upgrade kit and several LED tail lights.

I think my trailer has a similar set up in the rear cap as your Everest, and it has 4" LED tail lights from the factory that work very well. It is in indoor storage right now so I can't get you a part number but I'll try to remember when I get it out of storage in 3-4 weeks.

It does have back up lights as well that work well. I like them because at the very least it warns anyone behind that I am reversing.

pending the source of the leds they can be worse than junk.
the better ones will blind any behind you.

only takes money.

pay the price, buy the best.
and only cry once.

I do not have a Everest but I do have A 2004 Challenger which was the sister of the Everest. I put 4 of these on the back of mine. They are surface mount and I ran 2 of them Vertical to cover the screw holes from the old Bargman lights. They are very bright and have had no trouble with them for 8 years now.
