Finally got these installed and wired last night

 

I just took these at 6AM today, these are bulbs in the housings. Probably the best you will get without going to auxiliary lights...


First picture is lights only without touching brake pedal.



Second picture is with my foot touching brake pedal...

 

Just installed Diode Dynamics HP 11 reverse bulbs. Expensive, but now the whole boat ramp is lit up.

 

I have the 2010 with reverse sensors and they stopped working after hooking up led pod reverse lights into the bumper. I disconnected the lights ( I put in disconnects for easy removal ) and they started working fine again. I had the ground wire connected to the bumper and power connected to the trailer connection wiring. Not sure if it was the grounds or if the computer was reading too much voltage and shut the sensors off thinking their was a problem.. So kinda stumped right now. Assuming maybe the computer was thinking a trailer was hooked up and shut the sensors off?

 

So because i'm pretty lazy and don't really feel like reading 444 posts. Is there a consensus? What is the most effective reverse lights? Specifically for 15+

 

The '15+ models use a different socket for the reverse lamps than the ones for the '09-'14's that we've mainly been discussing in this thread. Most of the testing done here won't apply to your truck.

 

Dammit.. The factory ones are terrible, they might as well not be there.

 

I'm actually very happy with the replacements I put in my factory lenses.

Your assemblies take a 3156 size bulb, which is larger, and you've got more area to work with - in theory, you should be able to achieve even better lighting.

I've been trying to talk my dad into letting test swapping out a few different LED backups in his '15, but he hardly ever drives at night so wasn't interested.

 

JDM ASTARS are excellent. Makes backing up at night a heck of a lot easier and totally floods the bed with light putting them in the cargo/3rd brake light. I was using the Blazer light, but I ripped that out of the socket, no need for it anymore.

 

Just ordered the JDMAstars. The other day, I installed VLEDs, 1,000 lumen bulbs in my Ranger, a total world of difference, but they don't have them in a 921 base, or I would have gotten them for the 150 as well.
Don't think 50 lumens will make much of a noticeable difference, they have to better than the stock ones.
