not saying everyone else is bad, just my experience. Really shouldnt need to order from someone specifically, a 3157 bulb is a 3157 bulb no matter who makes it...etc etc

However, dont go too cheap or youll probably end up with problems
There's a huge difference in quality from vendor to vendor, and 3157 LEDs are different from one manufacture to another. To further illustrate this point, check out this video:

Nick, that's what i was saying, I didn't mean it in the way of quality. I just meant a 3157 bulb should fit everything with a 3157 outlet.

I know I didn't include much in the sentence about going cheap but you're right, there is a difference. I just was saying, if you buy cheap you'll probably have problems. Any reputable shop, like yours or vled or some others, should be good quality!

There are some vehicles, like the 2015+ Ford Mustang, where the factory bulb socket has variations that make the common base size, like the 7443, not fit correctly.

The 2015+ Mustang uses a true-7444 sized base, so a 7443 will not seat in the socket properly.

With all that being said, we are not aware of any issues with 3157 sockets on the F-150. Should be simple and straightforward.

We have a variety of bulb model options available, with different amounts of measured lumen output depending on how bright you'd like to go.

Feel free to give us a call and we will walk you through the options: (314) 205-3033

You can get full kits on eBay for under $20. Red is great for night time runs
