3" LED taillights?

hey y'all,

sorry to post this up here...but i'm at a loss. i can't find any 3" round LED taillights.

at first i thought i was just lookin in the wrong place, but after several more attempts, i'm beginning to wonder if they even exist

anybody know of somebody that makes or sells 3" round LED taillights?


thanks,
malphrus

Oval lights will fit. I put those in a 2"x4" bumper. The oval ones come in LED versions as well. I know they're not round, but they do fit the tubing size.

okay,

so check this out:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/truck_lights.htm

about 2/5 of the way down are some "marker lights" that have a 2.5" diameter.


just consider me a little slow when it comes to this, but these guys AREN'T taillights right?

is there some way that they could be wired as taillights?

Try diesel supplyers or truck stops. I run the led rectangular ones in 2x4 tube and love em you can also get lil chrome trim thats cheep and plastic & easily changed if you back into trees or what not.
