So did most of you that wired up to the trailer wiring harness lose your rear park sensor functionality? I would like to go the route of wiring up some slim LEDs, but not at the expense of losing that feature.

I'm running jdm astar 921 leds off of Amazon prime. They're amazing compared to stock. I also have them in my cargo lights, and they're borderline too bright.

I've been quite happy with JDM astar. They're some of the brightest bulbs I've seen, and I've been doing this for a long time. iJDMtoy makes some fantastic bulbs, too. I go to car meets all the time and they both blow everyone away.

I notice that you are listed as a vendor, and a quick search on your site doesn't turn up either brand.

Could it be that you might be just a bit biased?

I've had extremely good luck with JDMastar, and as far as I know they make the brightest switchbacks you can buy short of $130+ vled tritons. I'm a huge stickler for oemplus quality, and so far I've been blown away with JDMASTAR in 4 cars and counting. I run only jdmastar and slyvaniya LEDs these days. Started out with superbrightleds.com, then ijdmtoy, then dtautotech, and I've finally landed on long lasting + daylight noticeable.

Glad to see other happy paying customers. I can't get over how bright their 921's and 3157's are. My switchbacks actually wash out my osram CBI's cutoff.

I do quite a bit of research and trial-and-error to get the brightest bulbs, as you can see. These are just a few of the bulbs that are not installed in my vehicles. I also do other people's vehicles on the side, helps a little bit to recoup the costs of my research.

Not too long ago, I replaced the headlights with LEDs, which were the only two remaining non-LED bulbs in the truck.

The cargo and reverse lights in one of the attached pictures are the iJDMtoy ones that were mentioned earlier in this thread. I'm going to order a set of the bulbs you bought for comparison.

The last couple pics are obviously not an F-150, but has quite a few Ford parts in it, for what it's worth. I went with a matching theme of everything being red to match the paint and factory dash in my MX-5.

I've got the JDMastar bulbs for my interior and plate lights and they are ridiculously bright. I went with Philips White Vision bulb designed for backup lights and they quite bright. Nothing like dedicated reverse pods but it helps a bit (more so in the mirrors than the camera)
