Reading lights:

2PCS Aaron Pure White 3157 3156 3057 High Power 5730 33SMD LED Bulbs for Brake Tail Backup Reverse Lights Here



I am very happy with my set up so far.

You will need one of these if you do change all your blinkers out:

CEC Industries EF27L Electronic Turn Signal Flasher Relay, LED Compatible, 5 Prongs, 12 Volts Here

The L suffix is the key (as I learned through trial and error!) I got mine for NAPA for cheaper IIRC

Hope this helps?!

That list of supplies is great, but I get "Page Not Found" for every one of the links. I can get to the page, though, by copying and pasting the item descriptions one-by-one.

Thank you for posting this. I need to replace many of these and want to get away from the OEM incandescent bulbs.

Have you replaced your dash lights with LED's?

When I first switched my interior bulbs to led, I had the bright white ones. I ended up switching to warm white and it made a huge difference. The blue hue with bright white wasn't cutting it for me. The warm white ended up being a lot brighter and easier on the eyes. I ended up replacing my cargo lights and license plate bulbs with warm white to. Again, much brighter than the bright white. If you replace your marker lights up front, I would recommend getting Amber led's. Same goes for your door lights. Red bulbs rich lean the color up much better. The white led's, make it a very light yellow and the ambers make it much more vibrant. I've yet to find a good Amber 3156 bulb for the front turn signals that produce as much useable light in the stock housing as the incadescent bulbs. Everyone I have tried just doesn't shine as bright.

Again, you are more than welcome!

One word of caution, and a chance to learn from my mistakes. The Aaron lamps seem to be the best I have found for the flashers. I have tried going the cheap route and ended up buying three different brand before I found one I was happy with. The cheaper ones work great in the day for the blinkers / brakes, but there was a severe lack of differing light levels from the regular tail lights to the blinker / brakes at night. The Aaron ones have a good difference between them, to me the extra cost is way more than worth it from a safety point of view....

Like I said, this is exactly what I run on my truck (pulled the info from my past Amazon purchases), and so far are extremely happy with the way they work.

When you do change them out I would advise not replacing the high beam indicator or the air bag light. When you use your high beams, you have to hold your hand at the 12 o' clock on the wheel, otherwise you will be blinded. The blue led is nice, but way too bright. And the air bag light will faintly glow. I recently put my stock bulbs back in those two locations because of that.
