Anybody running TYC boards? I just swapped out my crap Dormans for some TYC boards. Hope these do better. I put a set of Dormans in my truck on 5/16/19, and had to swap them out 3 times on each side. I had bought the R-L set in the same package. So I swapped them both out tonight, will see if the TYC boards hold up better.

I think Dormans are what I have from Orielly that have been the best boards I've ever had.

I put TYC tail circuits in Jan '18 so they have made it this far :).

I had a set of those Anzo's for a moment. They have individually wired sockets that pop in similar to the stock park lenses. They're fine with incandescent bulbs, but when I put projector-style LED's in them, they looked googly-eyed due to the positioning, so I ditched em. YMMV but they seem like a decent replacement if you're not dead-set on an OEM appearance.

When I replaced my boards the first time, I also replaced the lenses. What started this whole thing was, I had a bulb burn out on the passengers side. When I pulled the lens, everything just fell apart. The keeper that the retaining screw for the lens, broke off, then the circuit board crumbled when I pulled the burnt bulb out. I guess 22 1/2 years is about the life if the OE set up.

Is that the right link? I was expecting LEDs.... these look like lenses that need boards.

As mentioned, they take factory incandescent bulbs but eliminate the boards. I run those tails in both of my 97s, love them.

I don't know how you're putting bulbs in there without boards.... they look like they're ready for board to be installed.

Edit: It looks like the main pictures are wrong. I looked at the customer pictures, and they are more like what deadbeat posted. Doesn't the boxy area interfere with the mounting?
