In addition, the lens area is on the large side...it curves to the side (side lighting isn't critical; I'm also putting marker lights on the lumber rack in the back), but the straight-back side is maybe 3" wide and 8" tall (that's an EWAG; I haven't measured it)...do you think that's too big?
Even if the tail light lenses are too big, I think the other lights won't be too big (front turn signals, cab clearance lights, etc)...although I'll admit to not being too sure.

They have 1157 and 1156 style bulbs in Red and Amber... And supposely, Red has higher Lumen (in another word, brighter.... The only white one they have is 1156 replacement for backup light... Those are white, and are suppose to be super-bright... But they are $84 a bulb... OUCH..... Also, interesting enough, LEDTronic recommends users to match bulb color with lense color(Orange lense use Amber bulb, Red lense use Red Bulbs)... They said it gives the best result....
I found a local distributor for LEDTronics, which is only 15 min drive from my house... I will try gather more info from them.... Already send them an email.... See what I can dig up....
They also have wedge bulbs....
