LED Clearance Lights

A few of my clearance lights have gone out... and I'm loooking to replace them. I was told the bulb type was "194" and was wondering if I could just drop in some 194 type LED bulbs like these, in amber color without changing anything else

I'm assuming it will plug right in but wanted to make sure

I see no reason those won't work out well for you.

those are cheap made in Taiwan lights, they will say Made In Taiwan right on the box...


I have those exact lights in my truck right now as I type....See those little yellow dot looking deals on the top and sides ?? That is what's suppose to light up......Only on any given day at any time mine act as a strobe light..

they basically flicker on and off randomly w/o warning and all of them will do it..

I have no idea why or what the problem is, still waiting for a reply to my email complaining of the problem..


they are expensive and you have been warned.

First person I've ever heard of having problems with those leds. All of my friends have them and none of us have problems with them. My set has 50k + miles and I use my running lights almost any time the truck is running. They're in my mirrors a well

After reading countless reviews of superbright LED's I went with them instead of buying them out of a trucker chrome shop like I always did in the past....I'm really disappointed with the quality so far..

I'm anxious to read the reply to my email, if they do send one..

I did my entire '08 Super Duty with LEDs from these guys... never had a problem. As a matter of fact, I used them for my HID Headlights too and loved them.

Just an alternative choice it anyone is interested!
