Here are a couple of pics of those reverse lights. First is inside of rear view mirror with tinted windows up.
Second is thru tinted pass window (up) at the side mirror. I am now able to see my trailer when I have to back next to it at night, so my wife can get the Expy out of the garage.

So I should be able to use that kit for my 2005, may have extra bulbs

Still looking for an LED bulb for the brake light in the Hi brake/cargo fixture
*EDIT*...DUH, its the same bulb as the Cargo light...just a colored lens of course
...and the 2009-2011 kit has that bulb included

I guess the question is are the backup lights that much brighter ?
Another kit I'm looking at specifies for the 2004-2008, does not have back up bulbs
But I planned on adding these...$32

Hey man, check out americantrucks.com they might have the bulbs. I'm wanting some led reverse bulbs, and actual led dome light bulbs on the interior, but haven't been looking. :/ they need to make bulbs a more universal thing...lol

For you guys getting those led lights in your bumpers, where you finding them at?

Amazon has an 11 piece led set for 28 bucks shipped. They look great.

didn't even try on the puddles or the map light and put the halogens back into the dome light.

EG78 - I have them mounted to the existing outside bolt in the bumper cover on each side.

https://www.f150forum.com/f38/backup...282280/index5/ post numbers 46, 47 and 50 have the brackets and how mine are mounted. the truck in the third pic on post 50 is not mine (it is another members), but that is how mine are mounted also
