    Thumbs up COOL! - SpiderliteX2 LED Brake Lights Installed

    Just installed the SpiderliteX2 LED brake light bulb replacements. VERY COOL!
    I was about 80% sure that they would fit, and fit they do, quite well too.

    website www.spiderlite.com (Made in Canada! - )
    Bulb is 1157. - $49.99 each with free FedEx shipping.

    Man is it tough taking good dark shots with a mid-range camera, here's my attempt:

    (The lower reflectors have also been replaced to the 2" Maxxima LEDs)






    Man I'm jazzed!

    Cheers.

    Way cool Kenny.

    I went to the Maxxima web site you mentioned to see what they had to offer and found this:

    Picked them up locally at a truck place "House of Chrome" $25 in total for LED, rubber gromet, and wire harness (extended them ~18" to reach the brake wires at the bulb connector and used vampire clamps to splice in)...

    LittleBeast did a good job of explaining the parts needed in this thread. As well as others...

    How do they look from the side of the truck?

    The reason I like the 'Light Tower' bulbs is because they fill the reflector cavity with light in all directions, not just pointing mostly rearwards... Gives excellent visbility from the sides..

    Good point, I didn't think of this when I bought them. But when I got them I noticed that they also have LED lights on the BACK of the 5 arms. So they do a good job of back reflecting off the housing mirror. With that, I think the illumination is fairly close to stock from the side. Then again, we do have the lower lights just behind the rear wheel for side visibility...

    Not too shabby. I went with the circular cluster. A more solid ambiance than the spider. Now tear that cluster apart and black out the inside of the casing for a cooler look for night and day.
