    Hello. Looking at picking up a generic Akkon LED tail lights. It looks to be P-N-P by the pics. I was hoping someone might have experience with these lights.

    Going on a 2020

    Hard to say. Some trucks need them and some don’t. Some depends on what other mods have been done ~ headlights and such.


    I do really like their disclaimer. Just flat out upfront about it. I’m sure they had some complaints before.

    This is a Smoke Lens Product, and It Will Be Dimmer, and Not As Bright As Clear Lens For Sure, Please Think Twice Before Placing The Order.

    I have not changed the headlights.

    I have a black truck, so I'm going for the dark look. Hopefully the LEDs will be bright enough.

    How will I know if I need the resistor? Hyper-flash?

    Gotcha.

    yes, if you get hyper flash you will need resistors. Some aftermarket options have built in resistors. I didn’t see anything listed on these so not sure. Maybe an email to them?

    Well just an update. The tail lights included the resistors. I have had no issues so far and am very happy with the look
