Cadillac Taillight Mod
« on: September 05, 2017, 09:47:45 PM »
My 78 Silverado has the Cadillac taillight modification.  Has anyone who has similar mod tried putting LED lights in?  I want to make the lights more visible (because they are so thin) but don't want to ruin vintage look...

I actually used the cadillac buckets in one of my trucks but decided to make my own tail lights that contour flush with the body. The bulbs are LED

Post up some pics of the lights

What bulbs does it use ?

The Sylvania ZEVO are the brightest bulbs I've found


And you can buy thin LED tail lights for cargo trailers
