So are the resistors needed only for the turn signals? I recall reading somewhere on here that if I (for example) replace the high-mount halogens (with 1 LED for brake and 2 LED for cargos), there might be some issue with the cruise control without a resistor.

You do need them for the turn signals but not for the 3rd brake light.

Thanks EcoBeast. (Jon_To, I sent you a PM asking about your offerings...did you not get it?)

So...what about the tail lights that also blink? I assume they are considered turn signals too?

Also, do any of you know anything about CAN Bus LEDs and their supposed "built-in" resistors, whether we can use them on our trucks, and whether we can use them for turn signal replacements without the need for resistors to avoid the fast blinking issue? And also whether they don't interfere w/cruise control?

Sorry to be a pest; there's just not much information out there about what exactly you need at various light positions to avoid some of the issues at various locations. Thanks

I used a kind of rocking back and forth motion and with a little patience pulled them right out and replaced them with the bulbs from Jon_To. As always he makes an incredible product that works every time right out of the box so to speak. Plug the bulbs in and open the mirror to make sure they are inserted correctly. If they don't illuminate, take them out, flip them around. I also added a piece of the original reflective bucket from my dome lights (im cheap so i save everything!). It is not needed but i put a small piece of it on the side of the bulb housing for it to reflect off of.
What type of bulb is this anyone know? Or a bulb #?

T5... try not to get a side shooting one if you don't order through me. You'll end up blinding yourself vs. getting usable light.

Default Prices

Hi
I have a 2014 f150 xlt supercrew. Was wondering a price for LEDs for interior map and dome lights, license plate lights, and high mount Cargo/brake light. Would appreciate a price shipped to canada and us...If cheaper to the states then can just have shipped there. Also is there a simple plug and play puddle or simple wiring light led option? Price?
Thanks
Josh
