Yes, another LED tail light thread.

 

I will be doing this mod soon. I really like the Winjet design, because they look so unique. Any comments on the quality of these lights? Or comments (pics preferred) on any other lights you like?

 

Thx

I saw those winjets. I didn't know how they would hold up here in northern Ohio.
I love them. Let me know how they work out.

I bought some aftermarket LED tails last spring, and love the way they look. The closest model I can find like mine are currently called Axial Smoked (americantrucks.com). I wasn't sure I would like the configuration when I ordered them, but they were the least expensive smoked lens I could find at the time. I must have gotten lucky since those are running twice the price now. As it turns out, they work very well as replacements in my Summit White truck. Quality was good, and my guess is that most will be fine for our application since the tails don't get the pounding that headlights do. My 2016 needed an unusual 3ohm resistance to prevent hyperflash (most need 6ohm) but other than that it's an easy plug and play upgrade.

 

FWIW I replaced the high brake/cargo light with a smoked lens and that one was not as good. Be wary of the model if you choose to do that mod.

 

The truck is REALLY dirty right now (and more snow on the way so it is what it is right now) but I took a quick snap since I couldn't find any of the tail.

I have K2Motor tails and love them. I've had a few random voltage fast blinks on really hot days but other than that I love the look of them.

I have the winjets on my 14 silverado.  Ive had them on for about 2-3 years and havent had a single issue.  No burned out LED's or leaks and the fitment is perfect.  They come with nice resistors to fix hyperflash too, at least mine did.  This is the only pic i have right now.  No issues with the OLED running light bars either.  The brake light LEDS are nice and bright too.

That looks good. I will probably end up with these.

I recently purchased the Recon smoked tails. No issues thus far it’s only been about two months though. So far they’ve held up with all our negative temp and snow here is IL. 

 

Only quality issue I had was I noticed some of the electrical connections were not properly heat shrunk. Other then that they were plug and play.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
