Question LED Replacement on all Halogens???

So I have a 2016 F-150 XLT in white and I want to switch out all the lights inside and outside of the truck to a white LED is there any chance someone could lead me in the right direction.

I would like to know what I need to replace the interior lights in the front and back of the cab.

I would also want to know what I would need to replace the headlights and tail lights.

Any help would be amazing thanks guys.

Here is a start: http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/c...pp=LED%20Bulbs

I don't know much about the LED headlights and tailights for your model truck but I'm sure there are many threads on here about swapping from the halogen heads/tails to the led model

I did some looking around and found that stage3motorsports has pretty much everything I was looking for. So for anyone that views this thread in the future looking for the same thing I am, head over there and you will find your answer.

Check out 4x4TruckLEDs.com. Got my headlights and fog LEDs from them. Also 10% forum discount.

As Tim said, if you head over to our site we made it easy for fellow Ford owners. On the left is a VEHICLE SPECIFIC area, just pick your truck/year and all the options are there.

We recommend the XHP50 series for your low/high/fogs as they'll look amazing. We then recommend the Diode Dynamics reverse lights in XP80... $90 but WORTH IT.

Those are the first upgrades we always recommend to folks.

And as Tim said, using coupon code F150FORUM you get 10% off everything site wide

I understand yours is a 2016 and mine is a 2001...but here is what I did.


Reverse lights? Pop in an LED bulb like these...worked for me. Very bright, especially with an LED (below) in my high mount.

and this for the high mount

and these for the inside, front doors and under hood...but that's it and they may be too bright at night. Might switch back to halogens. Also, these were too long for license plate lights.

Those cheap Amazon LEDs are the exact type that'll have issues. Maybe yours don't right now, but LEDs that cost $1 ($19.99 for 20) are cheap junk.

A decent pair of 194 LEDs will be at least $20 and will actually last.

No offense to you by any means.

No worries. I took the chance based on the reviews. Time will tell.

I did the same and after a bit they'd flicker or burn out. Bummer cause they actually were bright.

The cheapest stuff I'd recommend is sylvania zevo.

I tried the "cheap stuff" and it's just not worth it to have to keep replacing or have embarrassing flickering.

Trying to help that's all.

ACME from The Retrofit Source is quality and very bright. They stand behind their products. I use Broview V8 LED's for my heads from Ebay and they have been flawless. 1/3 the price than what vendors on this site charge.
