Yes, AZ has them. I used the amber 6 LED strips in my mirrors. After you cut out the back of the reflector, and insert the strip, fill the whole thing with RTV, and let dry. Mine have been in use for about 2 years now, and zero problems with water.

F150LED sells the LED turn signal strips specifically for this. 40$. They're not cheap but comes already at length and ready for install

That's just the LED strip?

I think mine were less than $15.

That's crazy. Sounds like a waste of 30 bucks

Or you can go on Amazon and order the 24" alpena led stripe for $20. And look in the mirror reflector to turn signal thread for best practices.

LED Backup Lights

A few things going on in today's pic:

1. Took the air dam off from the front bumper. It looks nicer and I don't want to plow snow with it again next year. I always stare at the fuel efficiency screen so if it's affected then it's removal is easily reversed.

2. 4' stubby antenna x. $10

3. Blacked out amber side mirror reflectors with plastidip. $10

4. Removed the license plate tray with a delete bracket from rock auto. $15

5. Covered up the wrinkles on the sides of my tri-folding vinyl tonneau cover with two sets of car door protectors. $8
