Default aftermarket bulbs?

i've already replaced my headlight bulbs, fogs, and license plate lamps but how about the front low beam/blinker, and the rear lights..reverse brake and running lights. any good LED bulbs out there that won't burn out in a week or melt wires?

i have not had any LED's melt wiring....they draw so mush less current than incandescent....you had wires melt using LED's? There are good ones out there, V-LEDs has some but they are expensive.

This is a thread I had about the LEDs i'm using right now, I haven't had any problems yet. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...d-blinker.html

You'll have to scroll down a bit in the thread to the pics of the lights.
These are from V-LEDs.com

Not sure which ones you are more concerned about replacing but I switched the the streetglows H13 90w/100w headlights and have been very happy with just low beams and not using the highs. i work at a NAPA so i got them at a decent price. Basically all other models require a adapter harness to help dissipate the heat. Talked to the company and our trucks already have a more then efficient harness and I have been running them for a few months and had 0 problems.
