    LED tail lights

    Is there a conversion for our stock tail/brake lights and turn signal?

    You convert by swapping out the sockets and bulbs.

    Not necessarily true. SoCalMotoGear.com has drop in bulb replacements that work quite well and after a year in service have not had any troubles at all.

    Turn signals will require a change in the flasher relay which is a little bit of a PIA to perform....but not impossible. And I would steer clear of SoCal's license plate bulb replacement....I've had troubles with those failing. HOWEVER, Sylvania now makes an LED equivalent of that bulb which works very well and can (at least hereabouts) be had from any Auto Parts retailer in town.

    I bought my from Rick at Value accessories.
    But I wired mine so I have brake lights in the outer lens with the blinkers.

    Sorry, I’ll rephrase. You “can” convert by replacing the sockets and bulbs. Admittedly it has been a while and vendors have clearly introduced new solutions.

    Seems like I got some LED bulbs that went right in the OEM sockets. Ebay has them but I got mine someplace else, may be AMAZON. Yes, you do need a LED flasher, don't remember where I got it either. But I do remember you can get to it from the R. side by going under the bars, slow & EZ. Find it by feel & sound, just turning on your signal.

    I just want something brighter and more visible. I noticed in Cherokee following that the stock lights were not near as easy to pick up as others.I was watching for braking so I can only imagine a car driver following not looking for it.
