I'm looking to change all the bulbs on the inside of my 2012, F250 Lariat, to LED's. Can someone direct me to a "preferred" website or offer any suggestions on products? I'm also looking at some rear replacement lights so any experience would be welcome. 2008 2012 Ford F250 F350 Super Duty LED Tail Lights Rear Brake Lamp Pair New Set | eBay

Going to change the side marker lights and third tail light too.

Thanks for the input.

 

The tail lights you're looking at are about the same thing I put on mine, and I'm really happy with them. As far as your other bulbs, you might take a look here. I've bought some stuff from them and have been really happy with their products. LED Lights, Bulbs & Accessories - SUPER BRIGHT LEDS

 

thanks. I'll start the hunt

 

I changed all of my interior bulbs as well. I ordered them from this site. You will need 3 of the festoon bulbs, i used the 578 1 LED bulb was plenty bright enough for the rear courtesy/map lights.

The front requires the 194 LED bulb, 2 of them, I used the 6 LED SMD wide angle wedge in the front. I did have to trim the reflective surface a 1/4" to make it fit.

I also change the cargo/3rd brake light 194 bulbs. There is 2 in there that are clear bulbs and one red. Used the 15 LED SMD base tower. Very pleased with this one, lights up the whole bed.

The license plate take s the 194 also. I went with the 5 LED wide angle wedge. Wished i woulda went brighter on these. The "SMD," whatever that means, seems to be a brighter bulb overall.

 

what do you mean by 15 LED SMD base tower? did you change the housing?

 

SMD = Surface Mounted Device which basically means the diode (LED in this case) is mounted directly to the circuit board without wires that would normally poke through the boards and be soldered on the other side. This can make for much smaller devices with the same or even brighter output in the case of a light.

Use this guide to determine the bulb numbers and then go to Amazon (first) or eBay to find the replacement LEDs.

Local automotive shops generally try to make a great deal of profit on these little items.

 

Oh man, thanks to all who've helped here! I was looking at LEDs yesterday and now I have a better idea of what I need!

 

I meant it was the name of the bulb. 15 is the number of LED's in the fixture...

Thanks. Did you have a hard time prying open the interior lights?

 

Yes.

There is an extremely fine line between popping the lens off and totally destroying a very expensive proprietary flimsy piece of plastic.

 

any tricks you wanna share?

 

On the technical page, it would be great if we had a listing of all existing bulb numbers and the LED replacement. It would be a fun little project to upgrade all the bulbs on the truck.

 

I've been to SuperBrightLeds.com and they seem way over priced to me. Does anyone know of a site that has less expensive bulbs?
