Default Rear Back Up LED's

Hey guys,

How can I change my back up lights to LED's? A bulb swap that has LED's instead of a regular bulb? Can you send me a link to the correct LED bulb?
Thanks!

This should help with all your LED swap needs, https://www.f150forum.com/f6/97-03-l...-guide-174498/
I would look for bulbs with CREE LEDs in them because they're brighter than normal ones.

Thanks for the info guys! Good stuff.


What about a resistor? Iv'e heard people installing these LED's and having hyper flashing or not working at all.

That's for the tail light bulbs not the back up bulbs

That's just in the signal lights. And yes, if you don't switch the flash module or wire resistors in the harness they will hyper flash due to the lower power draw.

I'm just interested in back up LED's, due to the fact that I might get LED Tails, so just need the back ups to complete it.

Then you shouldn't need to do a resistor, it should be built into the lights
