Umm, replace them? Any chance the same cop that offered you 7K for your truck is the one that pulled you over? LOL

Pulling a driver over for tag lights and/or tail or brake lights is a common ploy to check driver for warrants. Here on I20, they use this for drug interdiction stops, complete with dogs. You would think the runners would know to saty of this interstate by now.

i try to do a circle check on my truck at least once a week. i usually do it on Friday night so that i know they all work for my drive to work on Saturday and Sunday. the lights i always forget to check is the license plate lights but i think i put brand new ones in them not that long ago. i was going to try install led lights in mine but it has not happened yet.

True story, I got nailed like that in a box truck, dogs, pat down, 6 squad cars. The dogs actually got a hit on both doors of the truck, damn co-workers smoking pot in the truck

I just cut the connector off and put 1 LED in on each side. Then sealed them in with rtv silicone. Looks good.
