This weekend a young pine stopped me from going down a hill but took out my passenger side tailight. 20170625_142935.jpg

So I ordered a new set off Amazon. These lights come with resistors to stop hyperflash, and clips to mount to the inside sheet metal as you can see in the picture below.

I put the resistors on the L shaped metal mounts first, then clip them to the sheet metal.

After that line up mounting screws and your done. I love this "Style" tailight. Let me know if this was helpful.

those look pretty cool. I was looking at the JW, which obviously they look like, but the JW got some bad reviews on other forums. Maybe I'll check these out
 
Holy crap, how much heat does that resistor generate? Just make sure no wires or harness gets near it. That's a whole lotta heatsink if I am seeing it correctly.

My JW's were nice.... until they got stolen. LED tail lights are all the rage right now, so keep that in mind when installing these. Only two little Philips head screws are keeping shit-bag thieves from walking off with your lights. And they know to grab the resistors too as they are thieving your stuff. Ask me how I know......[emoji35]

I just don't see the value in installing a more expensive light, especially in a crush location when the stock light works just fine.

Agreed as well. Also, I've seen two members post that theirs were stolen. Easy item for scumbags to grab.

EDIT: I missed JeepJeep75's post #10. Sorry that happened to you. People are shitty.
