Finally installed my Line of Fire LED strip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70c10 · 08-13-2006, 05:28 PM

I got this a few months back and finally decided to install it. It's 60" long and has 60 LED's that work as running lights, blinkers, brakes and hazzards. I bought the T connector so I wouldn't have to splice any wires. It's mounted above the bumper and below the tailgate so it's undetected. The pic in the garage looks crappy. It looks way better at night outside. It's a real clean crisp red. I am planning on painting it body color when I get the truck repainted. When I hit my brakes, you get 700 total LED's exploding now!

If they can't see that you are stopping, someone should take their license away!

Coooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

centsless · 08-13-2006, 10:17 PM

That looks really cool!! Where did you get it?

70c10 · 08-14-2006, 07:37 AM

Thanks!. I got it off ebay for $27 because it was slightly used. They sell new ones for about $40. Eventually when I go to a rollpan it will be frenched in above the license plate. For now, this works/looks fine. It's held on with three, six inch strips of doubled sided 3m tape.

bouncytruck · 08-14-2006, 09:46 AM

Does it interfere with the tailgate opening? How hard was it to wire in? I've been considering one of those for a while, because other drivers are idiots and I'm in Seattle traffic every day.

Do you have the LED tail lights too?

Doesn't interfere at all. I used the trailer T type wiring kit that was recommended on here in the past. My tail lights have 640 individual LED's total plus the 60 in the strip.

Where did you get your tail light LEDs?

I would also like to know

70c10 · 08-14-2006, 09:13 PM

A former board member was hand making these and other LED items for 67-72's before he signed an agreement with Early Classic Enterprises I believe. I haven't seen him post in a very long time. As far as I know he made two sets in this Caddy style where half the lense is lit until you brake or signal.

camaro__thunder · 08-14-2006, 11:03 PM

I also have the led taillights and a line of fire, which I havent got to use yet. LOOKS NICE... and you can buy 2 different sizes of the LOF's at Oreilly Auto parts a 49" and a 60" Bo

I THINK YOUR RIGHT JIM. I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT. THAT PICTURE IS AT LEAST 4 YEARS OLD. THANKS JOHN

HuggerCST · 08-15-2006, 04:49 PM

Would you happen to have a close up? Just curious. I have a friend who shaved his tail lights and put led strips of some sort in each side of his roll pan, smoothed it, and painted over them. You can't find them untill they light up through the paint. It may not be legal, but it sure looks cool.

matthufham · 08-15-2006, 10:32 PM

wow, i don't have that much room between my tailgate and bumper.
