poncho lmk what you do. I've been following your lead brosky.
Still lurking around here to see what others who did not go to a dealer have done. I started watching the video Mike posted until I saw it was 44 minutes long.
Edit:
Decided to go with the Zevo for the rear based upon Hackenbush's experience. I'm trying the switchbacks linked below due to the fact that my Alla fog lights work OK and Amazon's fitment chart shows them working on this truck.
I'll get in with FORScan and see what line 70 looks like. I'll try it with and without changing line 70 and see what the results are. Worse case I'll copy the TSB from here and take it to the dealer next oil change.

I'm digging the way mine looks with the amber for now would like to see similar set up w switch backs 8f any out there?... What you thinking for rears?
I'm going to try the Alla that I ordered, simply for the fact that Amazon's fitment chart shows it working in the truck. But we all know how Amazon and ebay's fitment charts are sometimes. But I am going with your Zevo recommendation for tail lights.
If the switchbacks don't snap in securely enough I just might use fatfender's little mod with a Dremel.
I did that also with the JMD's I ordered first, Then tried the Morimoto's and they clicked in so I just stayed with them, I think that was back in June when I did the switch to all leds and no problems yet on any of the 4 trucks. So far so good.
I way chef video.....he went into bcm and changed some LED setings around not in as built at first then went to as built and changed somethings. I only have done as built per spreadsheet. Question is did you all switch for halogens to led per forscan spreadsheet line 69? I have only done front headlights, reverse and tag leds so far
When replacing the front turn signals with LEDs, make sure the LED snaps into the socket securely BEFORE putting it back in the housing. I had to fish out two LEDs out of the housing, using a magnet. They popped out of the socket as soon as I put it back in the housing!
Looking at the picture above, note the length from the base of the bulb on the left, to the actual bulb itself. Then look at the LED on the right.
This is the problem I had with three different set of LEDs, before I determined the fix was to grind the plastic base of the LED so it goes into the socket, far enough to lock in. I've had them in now for about 9 months without issue.

I seen you mention this before. Great tip and I intend on comparing the new ones to the old when they get here to see if grinding is needed. Thank you!
I checked my order from amazon and realized I ordered the wrong bulbs. After canceling, I decided to go high end on the switchbacks. If these pan out well, I’ll end up ordering these for the back as well.

I am the first Super Duty owner to have a set of GTR Amor front signals. I got them about a month ago to trial. They fit, are brighter and flash well. My two complaints are not cheap and the color is a little darker than the other amber lights on the truck.
I just wanted a bright amber so that good to hear even if the color is a bit off. The price was a bit of a bitter pill indeed. Appreciate the heads up!
