I cleared my tail lights and used the red LED instead of the bulb. The question is when I put the second LED in the assembly with the first one already in it dimmed some. Do I need to upgrade the fuse or do I just live with it. It's not extremely dim or anything but of course I want you to see them a mile away.:cool:

im not TOO sure on 95 model but im pretty sure your going to have to do some bulb modifying. Hit your brakes and turn signals and make sure they work correctly, im pretty sure they wont. Like i said i dont know much about the 95's.

Yea, I had to modify all 4 leds in my 92 before they would work properly. http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13060 that will tell you how to modify them.

No they work fine. Ok check it out I took out both the old bulbs(the clear ones) and put in one LED bulb and it was great it worked and everything. But when I put the second bulb in (still the same tail light housing) it seemed to dim the first one kind of like there wasn't enough juice for both. They do work still but I think they could be brighter. I used to own a mini truck and when I put in a roll pan with the 4 lights instead of 2 like a normal truck I had to upgrade the round bliker "thing". I was wondering if maybe I need to upgrade it for my car. Or if anyone else had a idea.

How dim is dim, they're not supposed to be super extra blind your ass bright, that's for when the brakes are applied.

It's not horralbe but it just seemed like it dimmed when I put the second one in. It does it brighter when the brakes are applied.

i put cleared gt lights in my girlfriends 99 ga and when i put the LED taillights in it blew 3 or 4 fuses, i forget which. it was a pain in the ass too to find them all. i didnt realize that she didnt have brake lights for about a week either. i never did modify LEDs to fit either. i got on the net and bought red glass bulbs. took about 6 months to find the colored glass instead of the painted glass and cost $55.
