glrnet Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Has anyone tried LED rear stop light bulbs rather than the expensive LED cluster upgrade, or am I being tooo cheap? Something has to give for the time being though, only had the beast a couple of weeks now and the wallet is under strain!! 2004 GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does'nt matter wether it's a red,white or blue LED or normal bulb it's still just a light source shining through a red plastic defuser. The post 06 LED is a different design with multiple single LEDs hense face lift and looks pretty. Just wait till you can afford the new clusters.I did because I think they look good. We all within a week of being on this forum WANT....New Lights,spacers,new burger badges,wheel badges,interior LEDs etc,etc. Oh and a stubby. Slowly slowly catchy monkey................unless you are loaded.. I'm not so it just takes time. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo-R Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well said. When I first got my Zed I wanted to do this....do that..... just to make it that little more personal but just gotta take a step back and enjoy modding in a leisurely manner!

glrnet Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Cheers Chris, I suspect you are right, caught the bug big time, I'll put this one on the back burner I think.
