Anybody replace their exterior bulbs with LEDs?
I'm looking to replace some of my lights with LED bulbs but don't know if it'll be worth it. I'm just looking for a brighter output and longer life. I ordered some bulbs from superbrightleds.com for my license plate but they were too big and I don't think there are any that they sell that will give me a brighter output and still fit the stock socket. I have a set of Cree bulbs to put in place of my reverse bulbs to see how they work. I have seen on other sites where people have done it so I'm hoping it works. I understand the issue with using them in place of the blinkers so I'm just going to leave them for now.

I changed out my reverse, license plate, 3rd brake and all interior to LEDS bulbs...looks nice when the truck is all blacked out. I ordered mine from fellow member on here Jon_To ....good quality stuff and all the right sizes. Havent ordered from him since initial order so you might want to check if he's still around, but i say its def worth it.

I just changed every single exterior bulb including flashers to led's bought from superbrightleds.com. My reverse lights were 7.5 W Cree bulbs from amazon. Could not be happier with the outcome. Exactly what i was looking for- crisp, clean and BRIGHT on/off operation..not to mention the leds are great for the cargo lamps. Got all my motivation and information from this thread..https://www.f150forum.com/f38/change...s-leds-146376/
