1999-2004 Mustang LED Backup and Tail Lights

**SVTRonDogg** · 08-28-10, 06:54 PM

I've been tooling around with LEDs for some time on my 2003. Trying different bulbs out in the Dome, Trunk, Tail, and Backup locations. I've finally found what I think is the best solution so far. Here is a little comparison of the Tail and Backup lamps during daytime.

I will be doing nighttime comparisons as well, along with How To information as to bulb removal and replacement.

It's quite hard to get a 'clean' shot of the Lamps when fully lit up at night, but I am trying some different methods.

Testing out the Flasher Module this weekend. I hope to get better before/after Pics and wrap it up.

got any links for stuff? One of the backup lights on my truck just went out and I'd like to swap in LED lights for everything back there, truck uses 3156 backup and 3157 tail lamps. As the truck has stock red taillights on it now I'm thinking I'll be fine to use clear/white led's and not need the red led's they also sell.

my license plate lights use 194 bulbs, I found these from same seller -

I don't want to put LED's in the front turn signal lights so I'll probably just need to wire some resisters inline with the tail lamps to make them blink the right speed and not replace the flasher module...
