bigredhdt Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Anyone have the "Truck-Lite" Leds? One of my friends has badly yellowed lenses. She will need new housing. If she goes with genuine housings it's about $600 +$500 for the deep space lighting upgrade that I really like. The Leds are about $1500. What provides better lighting? Does the lcm need to be reprogrammed for leds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke-E Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 There are a few in the group with the LEDs. Hither 'n' Yon were probably the first to have them. Yes the LCM does need programming, and I believe they'll only do it on '08 or newer trucks--most dealerships will charge an hour's labor (basically a minimum charge--doesn't take that long). As far as housings, check out Advantage Truck Parts. $340/pair for Depo housings, which are a good aftermarket alternative. 45' 2004 Showhauler -- VNL300, ISX, FreedomLine -- RVnerds.com -- where I've started to write about what I'm up to Headlight and Fog Light Upgrades http://deepspacelighting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 The Depo housings are great. Every bit as good as the OEM.

RickS Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have the factory LED headlights in my truck and they do work very well. They are a lot cheaper when spec'ing them on a new truck than adding later. Also, the new LED housing are supposed to have a new finish that wears longer.
