I know Lariat's and above all have LED lighting for the interior lights. I believe the only lights that aren't LED are the ones for the license plate. Those are easily changeable to LED's.

I have a 15 XL with Supercrew, nothing to crazy just with tow package and no upgraded sync system just the standard 4inch screen and i have the LED Cabin lights. Only thing is there is one switch that just turns on the one in the front and one in the back. But i am looking into what i believe to have independent powering of the lights just to buying the dome light for the back that has the switch and i believe its just a simple swap and plug n play type of thing.

Your fogs are not LEDs. I got some from Amazon that were just plug and go (about $26).

Didn't like seeing the fog lights being more yellow then the LED headlights. These are designed as fog lights also.

Pictures shows the right side with the LED fog and the left side with the stock bulb. Help to better show the difference.

Hey Bob,
First let me say; I love your truck, it's almost as nice as my Platinum!
As a real life eye doc I have always felt compelled to jump in this conversation about fog lights with a little education about eyes and how they work to try and help everybody make good decisions for their situation. As the good guy I think you are, I know you will take this advice in the way it is meant, in no way am I criticizing your decision. But I do think I'm qualified to speak on the subject of eyes; So....
The human eye's retina consists of millions of tiny little nerve endings or receptors that receive the lighted image through which our brains process vision. It's a nifty little system! The central retina, known as the fovea, consists mostly of color receptors (some people call them, "cones"), the more peripheral area of the retina contains receptors that mostly sense either black, white or grey (some call them, "rods"). Sunshine and man made lights consist of a rainbow of colors that our eye can use to see with, but the human eye's "cones" are most sensitive to the yellow wavelength. Hence, especially in poor visibility and low light conditions, i.e., fog, especially at night, yellow would be the best color. The cones can see the yellow more easily than they could see white and simultaneously, the rods will see the yellow as white, so all the cells would be firing at maximum, therefore, it should give the best "vision" of whats ahead in the road. Changing the fogs to match the wavelength of the headlights, could then, somewhat diminish their purpose in life. The reasoning behind the yellow fog lights is the same reason that avid deer hunters use yellow lenses to hunt at dust and dawn, they just see better! Just food for thought; I do think that for pure esthetics they look great.
Good luck with your truck,
Steve

Doc ,very well said. Maybe it's just cooler to have matching lights rather than the halogen fogs with L.E.D headlights . I installed 6k HID fogs and it's real close to the same color.
