LED stop tail globes

[blackers10]

i think ill stick to my standard ULTRA HIGH mount brake LEDs

that has to be the BEST most unique part of the AU fairlanes hehe for the rear lights anyway(other better parts like f space for a footy team AND their gear (minus stereo of course) but back on topic

im sticking to stock!

Hmmm , seems Dick Smith Electronics has the red led brake lights for $9.98 each (using whopping 16,000 mcd each / clear lense led's....like used in the newer traffic lights these days) , im not sure but i think these would be legal. They exceed the brightness of a normail brake light , the red colour is the right red spectrum/range for brake lights etc etc . Still might be worth checking it out first though, if you want to use them legaly for daily road use .


While Jaycar are selling those white led brake lights for $19.95 each ! , but it doesn't state the led's brightness, and says "Suitable for Show/Off road use only" . So these 1's aren't legal for road use anyway by the sounds of it.


Either way , even if you just wanted to use the white 1's for show , or use the red ones for road use .. whichever/whatever, the wiring i showed earlier would still work with a normal globe plugged back in again too, you could switch between normal globes or led lights and still have cruise control working either way.

If you really want the red led brake lights though for road use, find out if its legal before you bother re-wiring anything, otherwise it's pointless having the wiring for the cruise control to work with them. Cheers .

I have just wired some boat trailer LED lamps to an AU2 XLS trayback ute, insted of the $300 each rear lights, and am having the same cruise control problem, might have to try out wiring the resisters in, which will also slove the fast flashing indicators, i now have.

Another thing i have noticed is there is a small current constantley going thru the lights when the car is "on" as my LED ones are very dim when the lights arent acctully on.

Has anyone got a working sucessful answer to this problem, or was putting the stock lamps back in quickest :P

Ask vitto on these forums ... he is running LED tail lights in a custom trayback on his AU XL V8 manual ute.

I'll try and get pics.

Can anyone help me out with my AU XR8 tray back please? I tried to replace the generic incandescent lights with an led set, and they are both dull and causing the rapid flashing as mentioned above.
