so as some of you know i been dealing with some taillight issues. first it was getting water in some how so i sealed it up with some permatex black silicone sealer and have had no problems since the odd part was the reverse light worked in water...lol...so since i got the water issue fixed a few months back i been blowing brake light bulbs which are in the middle of coarse and the water never reached that high again odd damn lamp out every other thing...so i went to order some new circuit boards and just replace them well they were out of stock on national back order for a few weeks and well i finally got them from rock auto great place fast shipping and i got 2 for 27 and change shipped...ordered sun sent mon had wed...awesome so tonight i changed the bad one ill hang on to the other new one until i need it(im sure i will if not well its brand new and ill sell when ever that time comes....so i decided to open up the old one ive been in school for electrical tech for a few months and i was curious this is what i found ...along with another melted bulb in the middle....



hmmmm time to replace or what....nasty ya know what gets me the reverse light still works i replaced it with new ones and threw it out but it still worked in the rust....so anyway i bought the dorman brand replacements for it from like i said rockauto.com and they are great quality made in china but what isnt these days....if anyone has this problem i recommend just buying new boards from these guys....

 

It is good that you got it fixed, but it looks like you missed a great excuse to get yourself some smoked LED tails.

 

trust me they got put on the list i just couldn't right now...the inside of my driverside light all the chrome is coming off inside so...but they are tinted and you reallly cant tell....

 

When the time comes for some LED's, there is a site sponsor who sells nice ones that are pretty inexpensive.

 

who's that? man i hardly pay attention to the ads they are just there....

 

Carpart4u.com. They used to have a coupon code that gave an extra discount for DF members. If you contact them they should be able to tell you what the code is. They are the ones I got mine from and they have been great. Plug and play with no issues in over a year.

 

sweet...thanks teach...

 

No problem.

 

Jay, mine leaked when I bought the truck, and my brake light bulb does not stay in. I stopped the leak, but now every so often I get the lamp out, take it apart take bulb out put it back in and it works fine. I will have to order me one to replace mine. That is pretty cheap! Good find man!!

 

yes it is a good price and the quality seems very well but like teach said above i may be leaning towards some led tails sometime here in the future....
