Stallion taillight bulbs:

[trikervet]

I was going to switch my taillight bulbs to led's. I just assumed that the old bulbs were 3157's. The owner's manual does not give the bulb specs. I looked at one of the installed bulbs and it is a 7443 It looks similar to a 3157, but a 3157 will not go deep enough into the socket. The plug portion of the 7443 is at least 1/4" longer than a 3157.

If you fine anything please let me know.:wave4:

The 7443 bulb is widely available, Walmart has them
and there are lots of led conversions on eBay.

LEDs are always the way to go. You wont regret it.

I was going to switch out my OEM 7443 bulbs for LED's also. I have purchased LED's from Super Bright LED's in the past, my most resent switching out my running/fog lights. I am very satisfied with those, but the LED 7443 bulbs I received for the tail lights was a big disappointment. I spoke with a support person and the bulbs I ordered was their "brightest" LED's. I installed them last night in the garage (out of sunlight) and I could not tell any difference. They were pricy and I was really expecting a major distinction.

Thanks for your imput Stall1803, I was wanting LED's for the tail lights but sounds like they didn't change things very much. On your fog/driving lights did you just change the bulbs or did you change the complete light?

Thanks

Ed, I ended up replacing the complete assembly. I tried a couple different LED set ups but they weren't bright enough. Then I found these COB LED's and they did the trick (10W High Power COB LED Auxiliary Light Kit | Daytime Running Lights | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs) I have them on a modulator and they are like "strobe" lights. If you aren't able to "cut & paste" this web site, email me and I'll get it to you that way.

Thanks for the information, they look great I'll put them on my wish list.

Dean, How did you mount these?
Thanks

The holes lined up with the other lights, so was easy.
