    Can I replace the standard 3157CK incandescent running light with a red LED equivalent?

    To clarify further: the bottom bulb in the taillights that is on constant when your lights are on. I am NOT talking about the top bulb in the taillight assembly that has signal/brake functions.

    *I have searched and the bulk of what I find immediately runs to hyperflash and the signals.
    *I am aware of the socket differences
    *I am aware it would need to be a red LED equivalentFC090BE8-D34A-44C2-A34B-5555B54986C7.jpg

    Yes

    you will need a dual function led. High / low output.

    there are hundreds / thousands of eBay/ Amazon finds. I do recommend vled. I run them in my Tacoma and tundra

    Confirmed. I used a sub $20 pair of 3157k LEDs in red. No issues.

    Morning, Put VLEDs in rear, figured if I was taking it apart, then I would do all the lights. Resistor on turns. Careful on the housings, tabs can break. Good Luck

    VLED's site doesn't currently support 2021 models? Does anyone know if the 2020 bulbs are the same?
