08-10 HID and LED reference

madman1234509 · Feb 23, 2012

Im not sure if anyone has made a thread like this yet, but wanted to get a collective thread going on all of the light types needed/ extra parts to convert an 08-10 to full led/HID. I know most people know what kind of HIDs they need, but maybe not the others, including number from retro and bulb color that works.

HID high/low beam bulb type/watts-
HD relay required?
Fog bulb type/watts-
HD relay required?
Bulb capping required?
Side mirror lights-
Marker lights-
Parking lights-
Resistor required?
Cargo lights-
3rd brake light-
Tail light/Brake light-
Resistor required?
Reverse light?

Interior lights?

Noone? I figured retro would take the time to fill in the list. If noone has some input ill try to get it filled in, just didnt want to because there were a few questions about things and didnt want to post the wrong info. I think this would be a good resource for people who want to change out all of the lights on their truck

Dome lights are the 578 bulbs: http://retro-solutions.net/product-info.php?High_Power_578_LED_festoon_Bulbs-pid692.html

Sorry, the LED bulbs are only sold in pairs.
