    Ordered Alpharex Pros headlights and Spyder Red taillights. Considering replacing halogen bulb on low beams for LED As well as taillight blinker and reverse bulb for LED. Can anyone confirm if either or is possible? Thanks..

    If it has a removable bulb you should be able to replace it with an LED.
    Only issue that others have encountered is hyper flash of the lights due to LED lights lower power needs.
    Usually adding a resistor to the system by the rear tail light seems to solve the issue.

    Research the site you are buying from and the manufacturer's website.
    Read the reviews on the website you are buying from and see if anyone else has tried switching to LEDs or had a hyper flash issue and how they resolved it.

    Headlight Revolution has a great video on adding a resistor to stop hyper flash. Their 50w 60hm resistor is $23.52.

    I would definitely not put LEDs in the rear. There have been some strange issues that pop up that are resolved when the LEDs installed in the tail lights are removed and replaced with stock bulbs.

    Like not shifting from Park? I saw that elsewhere. Ill stick to halogen. The new housing itself will look alot better and brighter than current setup.

    I just unboxed the Alpharex pros.. they got here within 3 days of ordering. Ill be taking my truck to an accessories shop because who ever installed the spyders made a mess with the wiring. These are the ones i got, except a bit hazy Lol Like I said Ill be posting a before and after soon.
