Bjs J-truck LED tail light

Post by Phils67 »

Just saw that BJs has LED tail light conversions for J-trucks now. I already converted my front turn/markers, headlights, and cab clearance lights to LED and I have been wanting to convert my tails. Just wondering if anyone has purchased the ones BJs offers and what are your opinions. I am not looking for lights that you can see from outer space, just something dependable to to give the local cops one less reason to pull this obnoxious truck over

A regular light bulb will actually draw less attention than a fancy flashing LED taillight.

I have not seen these taillights perform in direct SUNLIGHT. The only video shows it in shade, so I'd be cautious about how bright they actually are.

I had a set of LED tails on my TJ ans they worked fine day or night, but they were also full units. The one BJs sells is basically a LED panel that goes into an 1157 socket. I have never had good luck with that style on other vehicles. Plus the price tag of $80 for a pair has me questioning it.
