I have the LED bulbs installed in the reverse lights and they are awesome! I also did the brake lights, they seem brighter than the stock ones. I cant get the tag lights in just yet my hands are to big to reach in behind the bumper and hitch, so those will have to wait till spring. Only complaint is I have a hyper flash on the dash display when turning on a signal. The lights don't flash to fast just the dash display does.

I'm curious if these new trucks can determine if a bulb is out, and display a warning on the message center? Yes, it is less likely now with LED lighting, but many trucks still have halogen. I always appreciate this feature on European cars.

I am pretty sure they will, or at least indicate trouble. I had a trailer on a couple of weeks ago and it gave me a fault on one of the tail lights which was actually on but the ground wire was corroded. Cleaned and tightened and A-OK.

Anyone know if the trailer lighting checker works on 4-pin plugs or just 7 pins? I tow both.

How hard was the install?? Did you pull the bumper to do it?? For wiring did you run to a upfitter or tap the tail lights? I tapped into the taillights on my 2012 and had no issues for 4 years. Mine were auxbeam or something like that.....

Not bad at all.. I made a template out of cardboard, masked off the bumper, and transferred the template to the masking with a sharpie. I used a roto zip to cut the holes out, I probably had two hours total in it. There were some wires behind the bumper that I had to zip tie out of the way, but nothing else to interfere. I didn't remove the bumper, but that would have made bolting the lights in easier. Wired them to upfitter Aux 2, it's nice being able to turn them on independently when I want...

Mine are made by "Off-road Town", their a cheap $50 pair of Amazon lights, but they're bright and durable.. I had a set on my 15 for a couple years and never had an issue. I have a buddy that has a pair that he paid 6 times what I did, we had them parked next to each other and we couldn't tell a difference. He wasn't thrilled about that, haha!

I am debating about putting a few of the nilights on the f250, but that will come down to how hard they are going to be to replace.

Mine was a 4 pin plug on my trailer and sure enough it said I had a bad connection on passenger side. Turned out to be a bad ground.
