Not too long ago I saw a thread here about led lights for corvettes, well I bought a set of 20 for about the same price they were being advertised on that thread. They were $77 for 10 bulbs and I got 20 of them from premiertek out of Riverside CA for $72 I have had them for about 1 month and I am very happy with them..
I just thought I would share this with anybody interested in switching to smd-led's

How hard of an install was it? Were they truly just plug and play, or did you have to play around with adapters/wiring, or anything, to get them to work minus starting a fire?

What parts are led? Tail lights, marker, dash? I have the 74 taillights which are 1 year only so would they fit in the housings? Thanks!

At Carlisle less than two weeks ago I bought a pair of LED tail light assemblies for my '69...$45 each. They were plug 'n' play...look and work great. Unfortunately, I don't have the vendor's name or the manufacturer's name...I trashed the containers. I'm saving the original light housings should I ever need them again.

They are available, so a web search might come up with them.

Sounds good. Was there a part number you used to order the 20 pc. set?
