The one from McMaster-Carr has 5/16-18 thread and 3/4" thread length. Fits better in the elongated hole. Part #9512K88

Just curious, but has anyone done switchback turn signal LEDs? I really love the idea, but I don't know how well it would do. I'm trying to get all my lights to match up front with my LED light bar:
But... I have no idea about any of that stuff. I'd like my headlights to match that color at the very least. I want to also get the DRL's turned off, or switched to my turn signal spot. I'm pretty sure all this can be done (minus the headlight bulbs) for under $50, so it fits! lol

I actually had a set of switchbacks in my 09 f150 and they worked great. Only need to get a resistor for them so you don't have the quick flash. I loved them. Took them out when I got my 13 KR never installed them. I didn't like the look with my raptor style LED bar in the grill. Still have them sitting in my tool box. But they worked great.

I got a pair of JDM LED bulbs for my backup lights that are easily 4x brighter than stock and only cost $23/pair. 800lm per bulb! Thats 300lm brighter than vled's $45/pair 921's which they claim are 'the brightest of its kind on the market'. Very impressive bulbs
