LED Tail Lights with Bed Light

ForensicDoc · 03-15-2007, 06:54 PM

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but I did remember reading a few posts about people not being able to keep their bed lights when they installed aftermarket LED tail lights.

I installed LED tail lights on my 07 Titan today and was able to keep the factory bed lights. I've attached some photos of the LED's and the factory lights. All I did was transfer the bed light housing from the factory lights to the LED lights.

The first photo shows the back of an LED light, you'll notice a little mounting tower on the left hand side of the light.

The second photo (sorry it is blurry) shows the factory light with two hex screws holding the bed light housing to the tail light.

The third photo show the LED light with the bed light housing attached to the back using the mounting tower. There is only one mounting point so the other screw doesn't get re-used. Also the factory screw was a tight fit so I threaded in a slightly smaller screw before mounting the housing with the factory hex screw.

Now I have a question that I hope someone can answer. All of my lights work, but the left turn signal is twice as fast as the right turn signal. When I put the flashers on both tail lights blink at the same rate. Is there any way to adjust this, or do i just have to live with it?

Great work Doc, there's two type of LEDs tail lights, the "Eagle Eye" and the "Volant Vulight". It is possible to transfer the tailgate lights to the "Eagle Eye" but not the Volant. As for the turn flashing faster, I believe the resistor in that light is defected.

Now how about some pictures of the LEDs on the truck.

So if the resistor is defective can I just replace that? And where would I get one?

Pictures coming soon!

Not sure, would the place you got it from exchange the light for you?

They probably would replace the light. I would just hate to have to go through the trouble of mailing them back and waiting for delivery again. I'm going to send an email to the guy I bought them from and see what he has to say.

Did you ever find out the problems for the fast flashing? Any update to this? Thanks

I believe it's not possible to do this swap w/ the Volants unless you want to cut up the housing to make the tailgate light housing fit. I was gonna do exactly what you did but I have the Volants and after trying it out it wasn't possible.

No, the Volant style has no room, just the other one you see on Ebay.

baseball had a good example of what he did... I did it as well...and now have the lights on my volants... I never use em but I figured what the heck... they should be there anyway... PLUS it give me something to do and it was a cheap mod
