Default Change to LED's

I want to purchase an entire LED package from V-LEDS.com for my 2006 Quad CAB DAK, Can someone please tell me what I want to purchase. It’s a little confusing between the number of LED bulbs per lamp, colors, Etc. I would like them to be as bright as possible. Thanks

For exterior lights (tailights, backup lights, and turns) I would get these:
http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=42_119

I have the 18 LED bulbs for my front turns and backup lights, and 12LED bulbs for my tailights (the 18 LEDs weren't out yet when I bought). I want to upgrade to the 27 LED bulbs for my tailights, though, when I have an income. They will be plenty bright....as for inside, the rest of these guys are going to have to help ya there...I haven't done that yet.

I agree, they aren't as bright, but I only have the 18 LED in mine. I actually like your idea of wiring the fogs in...if you didn't have the covers, that might be enough to make them brighter. Once I get a job, I might consider doing something like that, but, right now, I can't afford it.

Where are you planning to mount the fogs?

actually, my covers come off very easily and have had them off...with the covers on, when i am in the truck at night, and my windows are up, i cannot tell my reverse lights are on, even with my led bar lit up in reverse...with my windows down, i can see but not as good as factory w/o the covers...with the covers off, windows up, i can see very little, with the covers off, windows down, its pretty decent....idk where i would mount the fogs, and i have been wondering if i should wire them in to the reverse lights, or get some with a remote so i can turn them on if i need to when im camping or something or if someone is tailgateing. i want them to be hidden, but give off plenty of light when on...idk how i would do that...
