cant see them

what do you mean

the lenses are to dark? poosibly from the tinting paint

globes are to dim?

overtime the globes turn black and limits the light coming out of them so it may simply be you need new globes.

yeh nah it is because you cant see them, they arnt to dark its just like because if you stand on an angle you cant see them during the day, and i want to change the whole lights not just the globes.

The LED clusters you get from dick smiths should just drop straight in. Perhaps it's something with your electrical system? Maybe there's corrosion in the sockets, making a high resistance between the socket and the light. Something like that.

If you get indicator lights you may have trouble with the flasher going to quick or slow or something. Different resistance to the original lights.

Oh, and iirc the dick smith website states that their LED replacement lamps for cars are for offroad or show use only - not roads.

unless they do a complete replacement lamp for the taillights it may be hard trying to retrofit one in.

are you just doing it for 'wank'.

SSS Auto Parts make fullysik replacement tail lights for lots of cars, dunno about Libs though. Available through most car parts shops.

And remember, Google is your friend. There must be some around.

From what I'm aware of there is no aftermarket tail lights made for the gen3 liberty sedans. Alex was lucky to get his bodykit
