LED Tail Lights on TETON.

I love LED lights !!!! Especially tail light's..........I had LED's put on the Taillight's of the Volvo truck when I built the bed. I've been after TETON to put them on the TETON's for years...

They would never do it, said they weren't available...........:-( When we were at the Teton factory this spring, I noticed that they now used LED's!!!!!

So I started looking. I could buy them from Teton, at quite a high price or I could try to locate them for less. I found them at : http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/ Ordered them and below is the installation process..

Click on pictures to enlarge them.













They came in a package like this.











First you remove the original tail light lens covers. On the wraparound light on the corner, you have to cut out the light bulb.






The directions are fairly simple and its not much of a job.........


Even a Cave Man could do it !!!







Remove the old bulb and plug the NEW LED light into the socket and that's it!!!


This is what the back side of the LED looks like. It is a sealed unit....



This is the Front side and all you do now is use the old screws and fasten the new LED back in where the old lens came off...


















There it is ALL REPLACED......





The inside lens with the clear center is a back up light. I didn't do anything with it.





However I'm thinking about replacing it with one of the new LED's also. I need taillight's and turn signals MUCH more than I need Back up lights. We never drive much at night anyhow, let alone back up !!








LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!!





The one on the left is all done.....See how much brighter it is than the right????


Now,,,to get the other one done....





Cost : approx $160.00 for 6 LED lights including shipping...

WELL WORTH IT !!!!!

THE MORE TAIL LIGHT'S & TURN SIGNALS THE BETTER !!!!!!!!!!!!! IMO !

IT IS A GREAT DAY !!!!!!!
