Im ordering all led exterior lights for my 1987. I need to know what bulbs are needed for the cab lights, side markers, and turn signals. We may as well throw in the what lights are needed for the rear for the refrence of others as well.

may need to put a capacitor in some where. I think it's close to the blinker. I have a blinker that blinks on it's own which I think is because I didn't install a capacitor.

Someone will chime in I bet with the info. If not, I'll dig it up and post.....I need a nap lol.

side blinkers I bought these, I'm sure there's cheaper.

sun visor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PMXS7SM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

interior light above the rear window (not available, but ou can cross reference the measurements or model #)

Dash (will work in side blinkers as well....DOT requires amber orange I believe....do at your own risk).

I was going to swap the blinker to one meant for leds, which one did you use and how have the lights held up and how bright are they?

I only did the ones on the sides. They've held up great. Look up 1156 LED on amazon and look for good reviews. Should be able to get 10 for $10 or so. Color depends on if you have clear or amber lenses.

Please verify they are 1156 bulbs before you order. I've never changed mine so I'm not positive.

I'm going to start looking for thin wide panels to fit into the bed light. Try and make it so half is a brake light and other is the bed light. My lens is busted so I might as well while I'm dorkin with it.
