What leds to go with

I can't see now ,lol... damn CL90's are really bright (they are identical almost IF NOT slightly more lumen then another popular brand).
The 921's are damn bright too, way brighter then what I've been using for the 3rd cargo light area. non-polarity as well makes installation a peace of cake.
The only issue so far are the CL10 bulbs (194 size) for the license plates. They SORT OF fit in the newer 2015+ trucks. They rub a tiny bit but other then that one small issues (which is common) the quality is outstanding of these. Superb.
The CL42 look amazing in the brakes.
I didn't test out the switchbacks because there is NO WAY i'm going to pull my front headlight out in this weather (cold out tonight) so I'll do some testing at the nice warm test bench. But real good stuff.
I'll be taking photos as I said over the next few days I just need to get my studio setup (i do my own in-house photography as I have a photography background)
Here are some photos of the 7443 CL65 Switchbacks (we have them in 7443, 3157 and 1157)

The other popular brand is Diode Dynamics (I can say it, lol), and yes, their 194 needs to be sanded down on the end to fit in the license plate bulb housings. You have to sand the diffuser down about 1mm or it will rub the lens of the bulb holder and not seat properly. I was a little irritated with this and they seemed like no big deal. I like the fact those switchbacks have the newer style wide contact wire, that looks like a quality bulb.

Holy crap they look AMAZING... bear with me I'm uploading a quick video I made with my cell phone now after testing... really good stuff let me tell ya, high quality all around and I get to bring them to you for about 30% less then other brands out there

Well the amber and white are never on at the same time.
So normally your whites would be on. When you trigger the ambers they flash. Once the ambers turn off, there is a delay and the whites come on.
Whenever the whites power up, there is a delay... this is to prevent the whites from coming on right after the amber so you don't get a "amber, white, amber white, amber white" flash when your blinkers are on.

Edit... never mind. I believe I found the answer to my question lol. So the 7443 CL65 switch back fits the 2016's correct?

Yes we have them for all makes/models/years. And yes you'll need resistors. Rule of thumb... anything that BLINKS or gets BRIGHTER (turn signals/brakes) you need a load resistor for.
Yes 7443 CL65 Switchbacks would be the ones you want. Along with the Load Resistors. Really nice lights. I can't wait till I find some time (hopefully this week) and do some installation photos/videos to show how well they work.
For those with a 2014 or earlier, you want the 3157 Switchbacks. 2015+ use 7443 for front turns

Nope they are on our site. Use coupon code F150FORUM for an additional 10% off.
You can click on the LED Replacement Bulbs on our site OR go to the VEHICLE SPECIFIC area to pick your year (if it's a 2015+ anyway, we're still adding them to the others).
But all the ClaraLux are on our site now.
