Which type/size of wedge globes does it use for brakes, indicator and reverse? Are there LED equivalents, especially brakes as they have the twin filaments (park lights plus brakes)?

So on this subject, these from a patrolapart aren't prewired. I'm guessing they just come ready to plug in, assuming you already ran wiring to the back of lights?

Yes they will be. All you need to do is run the appropriate wires and your set. Same as the ones I am waiting for, plus the smoke version too.Originally Posted by Hodge

Yes there are LED replacements my whole car is LED except the front OE indicators as I couldn't find a globe bright enough for daytime conditions.
Nightime it's easy to see, put white LED behind red and amber lens', my reverse have 120 smd led per globe x 4 so happy in the bush reversing

Cheers mate. As I mentioned in your vendor thread, put me down for a set.

Order is held back now. I am getting GQ LED rear lights made so I want to wait and get the entire lot together.
Followed your link, ordered those lights, great fit, but I got a mobile electrician to clean up the trailer plug wiring and solder the loom and connectors in, very happy with his work. I added 3ft of wires from my connectors so I can change and check globes on the rear mat. I now have 5 Tail/Stop lights, 4Turn indicators and 2 Reverse lights. I will have to be careful not to leave my lights on with my motor off. Thanks again for all the help and choices from all. John.
Those are really nice lights, love the LED brake but don't like the amber. I think I'll just keep the dummy lights and use the reverse slot for indicators and get separate slim type reverse LED fittings for under the bar.
Excellent! Thanks mate. Can't wait to replace them all
Hi threedogs,
Just worked on my dummy lights and came upon a stumbling block. The park and brake lights I installed are the same as the ones you have in the pic, the 2 on the right (or bottom). I fitted them into T20 lampholders and when tested with 12V before fitting them all in, park wire illuminated them on one pin and the brake wire illuminated them fully via the opposing pin, the other 2 pins are ground. The thing is, when I installed them, park lights won't turn on, you can barely see them glowing. Brake lights work fine though. I wired the middle white lenses as blinkers and they work fine but when I turn on the hazards together with park lights, then the park lights also flash as park lights and not full intensity as brake lights, which is the way I'd like them to be when I turn on the park lights. I don't know if you (or anyone else for that matter) ever came across this issue and know how to solve this dual intensity issue?
