Default Led help

So I just installed new headlight and taillight housings, now I'm trying to find some builds that'll make my lights brighter. Got new headlights already, thinking about LEDs for the turn signal and break lights. Tried the led reverse lights from Walmart but they aren't that bright. Also don't have much money to buy so cheap helps alot, thanks!

You want bright but put tinted housings on your truck... Ain't gonna happen. The headlights on this era Ford suck as it is without the help of a tinted lens.

I more want bright reverse, the lenses on these are clean so it still shines, actually better than the stock's i had.

You're still not going to find a "bright" reverse light with tinted rear lenses. You'd be better off spending a little bit and wiring in some of the little square LEDs and mount them to your rear bumper.

Tinted lights is a really bad Idea. You have lights to that they can be seen and that much tint blocks too much light. Please do the rest of us a favor and get rid of the tint so we can see for sure that you are not using your turn signal.

its actually just the housing that is black, the lenses are clear still, guess I should've made that clear in the main post
