what are LEDs are you using for front turns?

Thanks for doing a write up on this. Great idea and I will be attempting it tomorrow. I agree that Ford should have done this in the first place.
On a different note, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the EcoBoost windshield sticker? I had a (Ford with Tribal) on my 2002 FX4 and now I have been looking for something to put on the 2011 EcoBoost.
Thanks again,
Busyman

Great job dude. Looks very cool and like it belongs. The only thing cooler would be to figure out how to make them blink to the inverse of the front blinkers; so they blink when the front turn off. Anyone know how to do that.

Thanks... Yeah she holds a special place in my heat.
Thank you!
Are you referring to the ones in the headlamps? if so, I bought a set of Amber 3157's in LED off ebay for like $6. They are a much deeper orange then incandescent lamps, are brighter and are supposed to last a lifetime.
Here's a listing on ebay for ones similar to what I bought to give you more info then I can offer. Hope this helps!

Thank you!... I had a local sign shop make the EcoBoost decal for me. Most sign shops have the exact decal in their auto software and they can just print it out. I had the choice between a white background and colored vinyl applied over top of the white or I could have them print the colors directly on the white and laminate it with clear vinyl. I opted for the laminated vinyl as I think it will last longer. It was $30 installed and they gave me a 7 year warranty on it.
She can make more if you can't find one in your area.
Thank you!

Wow, that looks great! That's what Ford should have done, especially considering that Ford side markers don't blink with the turn signals (which has always been a pet peeve of mine). When I bought the truck I assumed the mirror reflectors were turn signals, and was disappointed and confused to find they weren't. Now they will be.
