LED bulbs in tailgate brake lights?

[Jwoodywild]

Anyone try and use LED bulbs for the brake lights in the tailgate? If so, which did you use? Did you just replace using the same assembly?

2003 LX470 here. Thanks.

I replaced my reverse light bulbs with LED ones, I used W21W bulb type, I also checked the rear fog lights, bulbs are also the same, so I'm pretty sure they are the same for all rear lights.

LED Replacement Bulbs

Hola, Has anyone replaced the OEM bulbs with LED ones? Specifically the Reverse, Brake and Night time lights on the rear. Thanks.

We purchased LED rear tail light assemblies for our 2004 Land Cruiser.
Very nice quality ... BUT ... it causes the transmission "P" lamp to blink when you use the Turn Signals.

For the rear turn signal lights, LED lights need a load resistor to prevent "hyperflashing".

Thanks. I have LED in the tailgate lights that shine on the license plate but the first set of LEDs that Autozone sold me don't seem to work. I will give these a try. You used the same assembly as the OEM original bulbs? No extra adapter?

They fit right in, no adapter needed. Just to note - if the LED bulb doesn't work, you have to unplug, turn it 180 degrees and plug back in.

Thanks. Where do you install these load resistors???

 

[Exiled]

Load resistor is below the dash on the driver's side (LHD vehicles).

I'm big on LED's, always replace them on my old motorcycles. But I can't bring myself to do that with the LC. 1999 model, 350,000 miles, and like so much on this beast, all rear bulbs are original. Have never touched them. Makes me smile.

Tucked in behind the light fitting.

Are these load resistors hand wired in or is it plug n play?

The load resistors generally come with quick splice connectors, so you need to wire them in yourself. Something like this might help.
