i want to put LEDs in my taillights but i have no clue on if they have enough room or where to put the LEDs in the taillights. i think that i need 3 for each tail because i want the whole thing to light up and there are 3 sections in the taillights. i have green LEDs in my headlights so i was hoping to put them in my tails too. so do you all have any suggestions or comments on it? o and by the way they are the stock tails. this is what they look like.

i think that they will look sick lit up green at night.
u should be able to put one in each section so the the whole thing lights up i would just drill out a hole small enough for the led to fit thru
i am going to use these leds

they are kinda expensive but are really bright. so i dont want to order them and not be able to use them
I might do this as well. Anyone know where the nearest power is to the taillights to tap 2 LED's into?
great choice.
oznium is a great compainy and ive never had any problems with anything from them.

just a hint, use some hot glue to hold the light in place.
hot glue is the modern mans duct tape, it can fix or hold almost anything.

all lights on the taillight harness is power and ground.

how safe would it be to tap 2 LED's and two sets of 4" cathodes into it?

hot glue is a great idea. thanks for the tip.

I think it should be safe, you might have to upgrade the fuse though..

I'm just not a fan of cats. Long live LEDS!
we'll just take one of the tails off sometime and play around with the wiring and see what we come up with. Just order 3 for one side and we'll figure it out lol
i will just order them and if i cant use them in my tails i will just use them in my cupholders or something. we will see.
