Led Taillights - Tech Project

Most of today's new cars come equipped with Led taillights and many more older models are being upgraded with Led systems. Dakota Digital is known in the aftermarket world for custom digital gauges and retro kits, and they kept getting asked about building Led taillight kits for older models. They took on the task and the rest is history in the making.

Dakota Digital's Led lighting systems are engineered to utilize your existing wiring harness, taillight lens and assembly. Whether you have OEM wiring, or have updated to a new style harness, installation is effortless. The Led modules are included for both left and right rear brake lights. Dakota Digital taillights include the Led brake/taillight modules, wiring and moisture-resistant crimp-on connectors.

These Dakota Digital Led taillight modules are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Note that the taillight housings and lenses are not included. If your existing housings or lenses aren't able to be cleaned or repaired, new replacement housings and lenses are recommended to get the best lighting possible.

Dakota Digital Leds are easily installed and available for many classic Chevy models. The installation on this '61 Chevy Impala at Primo Customs in Ontario, California, was pretty straight-forward and it should take you less than an hour to install these true bolt-on light kits yourself.
