Default Anyone have luck finding 2018 LED Reverse Bulb?
I have picked up a couple different brand bulbs for 3156/3157 type and it seems that the 2018 has a weird plug that I've never noticed on my other F150's. The stock reverse bulb has a little notch on each side. Anyone have luck finding an LED reverse bulb for their '18 stock taillights? Seems that the base is too thin on the LED bulbs compared to stock halogen.

I'll check them out! I don't get it. I've always been able to replace directly with LED equivalent. Did you notice the notches on the stock bulbs?

I looked them up. The base appears to be the same as ones I've ordered. Basically they are too loose in the plug socket. They won't seat properly and fall right out.

Yes. I bought some on eBay from a seller named lighturway. I bought a kit that included basically all exterior leds minus headlights. Originally, he sent wrong bulb for reverse lights(fits exactly like ur saying, bulb looked like it should fit but was loose)....but he corrected problem and sent me the correct bulbs. Contact him and he will hook you up.

Don’t recal mine being loose.

How are those for the issue where the brake lights (or turn signals)are not all the much brighter then running lights? I see that problem is so many LED brake bulbs

They are only on when I back up, so not a problem for me, they are so bright that a driver to the rear would not need to see the other lights.

I have the LEDs from the same place in my brake lights too...there is a noticeable difference in the change when the running lights are on IMO.
