Full disclosure- I'm not a huge fan of the way LED replacements for incandescent bulbs look. I think they look garish and robotic so I typically don't buy them. A couple weeks ago, a vendor's rep from LASFIT reached out to me and offered me to try a set of their new 3157A turn signals and 194/ T10 license plate bulbs. I am not one to turn down free stuff, so I obliged.
Install: have you ever replaced a turn signal bulb before? Yes? Cool. Nothing different. There's no extra components to add with them. They don't have an external hyper flash resistor to wire in or anything like that. They're a one-shot deal. Never replaced a turn signal bulb? Youtube.
Below are pictures of it installed. These, like my statement above, are not immune to what I feel is an ugly item. They're not cheap looking at all and in fact, they look much better than some options I've seen. The finished end of them is metal and it has the LASFIT logo on it. The overall build looks very nice. It's just my personal, subjective opinion that this whole category of lighting modification is not visually appealing.
Performance: Ok. Here's where this gets interesting. I installed them at about 3pm on a slightly overcast day. It was in no way dark outside. I turned on my parking lights and other than being a bit more intense yellow in color, they seemed completely normal... then I turned on the left turn signal. The whole front of my house illuminated yellow! Sumbitch, these things are bright! I'll see about making a YouTube video to get a good idea how these work but for now, pictures will have to suffice. I had some confusion about whether I was signaling a turn or flashing a warning beacon to low flying aircraft. The visible yellow light when signaling is bright enough to cut thru my Morimoto Mini H1 retrofit.
Nice review. A month ago, I bought the Lasfit 7443 switchback for my 2017 turn signal/running lights in the headlights. After reading all the Amazon reviews and for only $19.99, I had to try them. A month later, I am still impressed. I change Forscan so the are now my DRL in white. Love the look.
I haven't tried any of the Lasfit lights. I'm currently having good luck with JDM Astar, but good to know Lasfit is putting out a quality product. Thanks for the review.
We have not finished our LED lighting conversion on our 2010 F150 but we have used JDM in a few cases and they seem like quality. I tested some 194's for front side markers. Very white and not hot to touch. The OEM bulbs really blacked the sockets by high temps. When finished all external bulbs should be digital except for the H7 headlight bulbs. Rears are red Eagle Eyes that fitted well and look awesome. The fronts will be clear Spyders (
At this point I can not tell if all the colors will be similar or not. Our Lariat is solid white so I have stayed clear on the front a red on the rear. The halos really update the truck.

As an update we got finished with our external LED upgrade. and went with the Lasfits you reviewed after the JDM's hyper flashed. Because of the Spyders I had to go with the 1157 Lasfits and H7 LED headlight bulbs. The white LED's in the Lasfit 1157's are not that bright and do not show up in the brightness of the photo below but the amber as your photo shows is VERY bright. I do have the stock size ADM's for the fogs.
Thanks for doing the Lasfit review.
The white of the Lasfit switch backs do not show well in this photo but they do keep burning white when the amber flashes and I like that look.
I just received my and installed them quick before work. I can also confirm that the 3157 fit in our housings. I ordered the switchback ones. Holy Hell they're bright! I got the $60 ones and no hyper flash either. I'll try to get more pics later, but for now all I have is a pic of them in the package before I put them in.
These are in my 2011 XLT with the aftermarket oem style projectors.
Not the greatest nighttime pics, but you get the idea.
Parking lights and led fogs Parking lights, led fogs, and evox-r projectors with CBI bulbs Switchback turn signal Hazards on. That's a far bright reach!
