Im Looking to flush mount my tail light before the Jeep goes to the body shop. I have found only one site that offers LED lights.
If you know any other sight could you please post them.
Thanks

Since you didn't say which site you found, I'll take the chance and say................ www.grote.com.
Do I win? Do I win?

Redeye,
After all the postings on this subject, I just realized something. Is there a trailer manufactoriing plant anywhere near you? I'm talking like Great Dane or another company like that?
The reason is, they will usually have a counter sales area, that will have whatever you need. I buy lamps locally, here in Savannah, at the Great Dane office, myself. They are considerably cheaper than other places. Of course, I don't know how competative they will be, with a place online. But, this gives you anther option to try, anyway. :)
Do not go to a place to find them, like a 'Chrome Shop' for tractor-trailers. These places usually mark up the prices so high ... well, they are like truck stops. They will rake you over the coals, every time.

Depending on the brand of LED tail light you buy, your turn signals may not flash properly because some LED light assemblies don't draw as much current as standard bulbs do. Some flashers need a certain amount of current throgh them to flash, though that problem tends to be only on older vehicles with older electro-mechanical flashers. If they don't flash, a resistor added from the turn signal wire to ground will get them working again. I am just guessing but probably a 500 to 1,000 Ohm 1 watt resistor would do it. The dealer that sells the LED light assembly will probably know if a resistor is needed. If you have a newer Jeep, it's unlikely you'll need it.

Well so far I have found then any where from $44.00 each up to $55.00.
I think for right now i'll wait till the price goes down. Plus I think a D44 is more important.
Thank you all for your info.
