Check out Diode Dynamics. Bulbs specific to your truck. I replaced fogs, high beam, low beam and rear cargo/3rd brake & license plate lights with their bulbs and they're outstanding. No flicker, no issues and everything installed and worked as advertised. All fit in original housings. USA made. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I couldn't be more pleased with the results I got from their product.

This issue Ive found with DD and a lot of other brands and is they don’t reflect light back at the reflector housing. They also are too bright as running lights, so when you hit the brake, there is barely a noticeable difference. Which is a safety issue.

Not to mention they’re way too expensive for for a pair of leds. But people will pay for them, so good for them.

I’ve personally tried DD, Morimoto, 4x4truckleds, JDM astar, all the junk on amazon and eBay, and I still come back to the Zevo leds being better every time. Ive compared these all in the same housing.

I have nothing to do with Sylvania, just trying to get some info out there.

Too many people buy a brand of led and post saying they’re the best without comparing.

I don't disagree with your premise of ownership bias. I have had 14 different vehicles in the family over the past 10 years (between mine, wife's and two kids), so I've tried many different vendors of LED and incandescent. In the LED space there are only 3 that I'll recommend, DD, KC HiLites and Rigid Industries. I've tried enough of the knock-offs and watched them flicker, fail, fog with moisture, etc. to be comfortable recommending the 3 mentioned with confidence. Never tried Sylvania Zevo's, but they sound promising based on your experience. May give them a try on one of the other vehicles in the fleet.
