Getting a bunch from VLEDs. Cornering and reverse. Trunk, headlights. Chime in if any of you have had em. Already did most of interior excluding dash and gauges. Seems a pain to pull all that. Any tips. Bulb clearance issues, etc. Thanks

If you go with LED turn signals get an EP27 electronic flasher to rid the hyper flash you'll get.

Worked like a charm in my car and F150.

I know C Wright had a shop put in LED headlights..but most I see say "Not to be used with rear dustcovers" like marauders have due to the heat sink they have. Running without the covers usually means condensation in headlights. Maybe someone knows more who has them in a marauder.

What do you mean "rid the flasher". Do the ones from vleds flash like crazy? And really just want brighter headlights and fogs. Incandescent are just too dim

led have such low draw, the standard flasher in marauder thinks a bulb is out and you will get hyper flash meaning it wont flash normal.

Not a huge pain to pull the dash, first time it will take you a bit to figure out where little screws are and when to pull with force and when not to. I can have a the gauge cluster out in about 5 mins, I've done several owners LED swaps.

Without a electronic flasher the bulbs will hyper flash (fast blink) due to their low resistance. Some led bulbs come with them built-in, others you need to wire up an external flasher.

I have a set of LED headlights on the way. Will see how they work.

Without the dust covers you'll be having all sorts of issues.

I know VLEDS are the best but there are many others out there for alot less $$$'s.

I have some 3157's that will make you see stars for a day...... IMHO... best reverse bulbs are 15W HIDs. I also use 15W eagle eye LEDs in the lower license plate bolt holes.

What bulb did you get for the trunk?

forgot trunk light LAPS doesn't have nice LED bulbs. Was planning to get one from Vleds but if you have better headlights and trunk ill take it. Ones on amazon seem like Chinese garbage
