Exclamation

Does anybody Know if the 3157 LED switchbacks used as Tail/Brake in a 2017 F250 are standard socket or CK. Or do I have the wrong bulb size?

I went with iBrightstar 3157 bulbs for the rear stop/turn/tail lights. I do have Hyperflash but I'll resolve that.
I used JDM ASTAR 1200 lumen reverse lights and am super happy with them.

I haven't done the front side marker bulb or license plate bulbs yet. They are both T10 but orange LED for the front and White for the rear.
I already have LEd's in my cargo light (2019 STX)

Love the look of those 5 lights in the grill, what brand? How much? Any issues?

Are you sure a switchback is being use for rear tail/brake lights? Seems odd to me to have a bulb that flashes from white to amber (which is what a switchback does) inside of a red lens.
When in doubt, I've always gone to Superbright LED's website. Even if you don't buy from them they have a good reference for every bulb on the truck for you to find the correct bulb number.

I also have beam tech bulbs and their fog. I did led brake lights and switchback fronts. Here are the ones I bought. Very happy bright no issues

My bad, I meant duel filament Red 3157's Stop/Tail. Superbright LED website say's My truck use's a CK type bulb, I Was looking for conformation, Yea or Nay.
Someone who already tested with a DVM.
Thanks, DaveyMac

Reviving this thread for a quick question. I have a set of these LEDs sitting in the garage. Never got around to putting them in my previous truck. Will they work on the 2017 Platinum I now have in place of the license plate bulbs? Or are they already LED from the factory?
