does anyone know of a store that sells LED bulbs for our tail lights?
AutoZone kind of store...haven't had the chance to drive around looking, just reaching out before wasting time. |

Autozone usually has them for the tail lights. Do not replace the blinker/flasher lights though. The LEDs use less current/resistance than the OEM bulbs and will cause issues wit the flasher unit. Also, while your at it, check out Spoke's thread regarding the LED replacement panels he produced for our cars. Very slick kit, and worth it.

I found the regular led replacements at Walmart. I used them for the reverse lights and spokes kit for the rest

I use Spoke in front and stock in back but am interested in what's happening with the flasher. Seems to go fast.

I used spokes light set, led headlights and online for the rest. Superbrightles.com was super easy to buy from and fast. I like how the led's run cool. Should help the wires and lenses last longer.

Hopefully he'll make more soon. I'd really love to change all of my lights out. Definitely need the headlights. After Garold's event a couple weeks ago, I had to do a small amount of night driving in the rain. Luckily only like a mile. I think one of those LED keychains would have provided more visibility.
