There are good LED lights made for truck side-markers at this site http://www.brightlightautoparts.com/...KER_LAMPS.html

I bought a set and very satisfied. 2 bright red LED's encapsulated in waterproof acrylic inside a red-lensed housing, with just a 12V red and black wire coming out. Very rugged. About 80mm x 40mm housing size, suitable for the side markers of a truck. $21 a pair ex Melbourne.

They're quite bright, so you may want to dim them to suit using a suitable resistor in series.
