Reverse light on GU

[hugebbq]

bushytas,

I must say great job on the advice you have given to the original question posed. I'm sure it's helped him as well as countless others including me. Good on ya!

To the people who constantly preach things like was posted on page 1 such as

"Hi mate, rather me try explain what to do.....if you go to the search box (in the top right hand corner) type in the words "gu tail light replacement", you should get all the info you need "

Its annoying especially when the bloke began his post with "Hi all, I've tried searching old posts but still haven't had much luck in finding out about wiring up the drivers side reverse light in my GU."

Once again, good onya bushy

Hi,number one never use scotch locs they Will fail, I just wired up my dummy lights, I used led globes that have 120 smd leds per globe thats 480 leds. my model needs 4 so its like daylight when I put the trol in reverse, globes only cost about $8 for x 2 on Ebay,. I even have them in my indicators and stop/park rear lights. The effect is awesome. I did put a resistor on the blinkers to stop the fast flash. Infact every globe on my truck is led. But stay away from those scotch locs

Old thread I know.....TD, how did you apply the resister to slow the flashing rate down?

yeh I would also be interesrd in how to put a resistor on the indicators please TD...just took the TI tail lights out and put normal ones in today so there would be better lights on the back insteaf of those pissy little ones in the bar...made up my own looms for each light with waterproof rubber connectors and looped into original wiring to the lower lights....(done properly)..put a seperate earth in for each light..couldnt be happier with the more lights on the rear...if people cant see the right side lights because of the spare wheel well thats because I am passing them lololololol

I just stripped the insulation off a small section and soldered it in, then taped it up
again these are my led reverse lights 480 smd led in total

Edit ::: inline with the power wire to the indicator, or
you can buy LED flasher relays for about $15

Narva sell a resistor housed in an ally heat sink for this application. Don't know where on there website as im on MC but they do have what you need.

Great pics and advice, but 21W for reverse lights?
