I've done all of mine with cool white except for the vanity mirror bulbs. Do you know what replacements (bulb number) I need for these? Even better, do you have a link to these from V-LEDs or SuperBrightLEDs? Thanks!

Look under my statistics and find the led threads I started. I changed every outside bulb to cool white and all the inside bulbs to warm/natural white for a more oem feel. I think the cool white inside is like those ugly cool white cfl light bulbs you see in peoples houses, it just dont look right to me.

I should have said mine are pure/clear white. I like the natural light appearance as well.

I looked at your interior thread but didn't see a reference to the small lights on the visors/mirrors in the cab. Did you replace those with natural white LED bulbs? If so, will you point me to the correct ones? Thanks man.

Here is the thread I was talking about, and here is the bulbs on superbrights website, they are brighter than the stock 194 bulbs by far!
https://www.f150forum.com/f83/look-w...142734/index3/

these are the bulbs (WLED-xHP15-TAC), the bulb with the smaller smd leds is the one I have but superbrights website is messed up or something it wont show the specs for it or a bigger picture unless you click the "see prices and Buy" tab.
