I have an 02 F150 and i want to replace my taillights, reverse light, and third brake light with LED's but where would be the best place to order from and how do I look up what bulb i need for my truck? Any help would be great, thanks

 

I did LED's in my taillights. I bought mine from Amazon. There are tons of types on there. These are the ones I bought. I like them, haven't had an issue with them.


If you swap out the taillights, you are going to need a new LED flasher relay. I also got that on Amazon. I believe Grote was a manufacturer.

Here is a good place to find all the bulb #'s

XC, may sound like a stupid question, but why is there a need for a different relay?

 

did you buy the LED JUST for your reverse light or can it work for the brake lights and all?! like i would have to buy 6?

 

The LED's draw a smaller current then regular bulbs, so your turn signals will blink fast because it thinks there is a bulb burnt out. The relay is just so they blink normal. I thought I could get away without one but it didn't work.

I heard of people splicing resistors into the harness to fix the fast blink too, but I don't like splicing wires on my daily driver.

 

I just bought the lights for brake/driving lights. I didn't bother with my reverse lights because they are bright enough

 

XC, you wouldnt happen to have the part # for that relay? I see a bunch of them, just wanna make sure i get the right one.

 

The part number is 44090. Our trucks use a 5 pin. This is the one I got:

You'll find how to take remove/replace it by doing a google search. Basically, it's under the dash around the cigarette lighter area. There is a little box that you have to unclip the lid to remove, and the relay is in there. It's a complete b*tch to do, but it only took me like 10 minutes. Most of that time was finding where it is and then getting the old relay out sucks...It took everything I had to remove it...but the new one slides right in. haha.

 

Thanks man! Did you notice a difference when you put them in?

 

They are definitely brighter. I smoked my taillights slightly so I wanted something brighter. The supercrew taillights kind of suck as far as light output even stock. Some replacement LED's are better than others I'm sure, just like anything else. I just picked a set that looked of better quality and that had good reviews.

I want to swap out my front corners and 3rd brake lights, I just haven't ordered any yet.
