Try Dick Smiths but remember you may have to put in a resister for your indicators

You can buy these at most good auto accessory shops and have some fitted to the back of the Tojo 75.
Brilliant for brake and park lights but only average as a reverse light.

Not cheap - about $150 for a three unit light park/turn/reverse depending where you get them. Lights are sealed, submersible and much better than the el-cheapo bulb jobs.

Ciao for now

A few things to remember is that alot of the LED globes are very directional, fine if you are directly behind or in front of the LED but woeful if even slightly off centre.
The lens and reflectors designed for normal globes don't work very well at spreading the light from LED's, I for one want to be as visible as possible to other road users.
Most of the replacement LED globes are not certified for road use.
The LED light units made by manufacturers like Hella, Narva etc are usually ADR compliant and should say so on the packaging.

They must have a lot going for them - I am amazed at the number of trucks on the road recently that have obviously replaced their rear light units with LEDs, which are eminently visible, especially at night. The new Sydney buses likewise have them.

I suspect its less bulb failure from vibration as part of the reason on trucks.

If the lights you are buying are ADR approved, they should be reasonably visible from off center. Ebay is where I'd be looking first.

They have a lot going for them, - vibration proof, water proof, dust proof, last indefinitely, quick brake light response, draw minimal current, crisp indicator flash etc. Fantastic on boat trailers. But unless using them on a trailer you will need a non load sensitive flasher as said above.

Also look for poly carbonate lenses - almost impossible to break.

Check out post 34641

The Narva web site has lots on LED designed for the purpose with kits for flasher mix filament / led or all Led

don't work for ect

From what i understand simply changing the standard globes to LED without changing the reflector will give a poor performance. I inserted a globe into the 'dummy', slightly tinted tail lights on my GQ. With a standard globe they were acceptable. The LED i tried was hardly visible through the lens. A waste of money.

I have seen LED taillights on some 100 series (probably after market) and they are brilliant.

Fitted some "super" bright LED globes to the tail lights of the 80 series, which are very good, with most of the benefits mentioned above.

One thing we didn't count on was affecting the cruise control. Apparently the whole globe lights up, whether on tail, or stop. As there's this residual current feeding back into the brake circuit, the cruise just cancels, even with only the parkers on. Bit of a bummer if it's raining, or visibility is poor.

Hella make good LED assemblies. Lot of road trains up here use them exclusively now, especially for trailer lighting. Not affected by voltage drop, or poor earthing.

Hooroo...
