LED recomendations

I have the beamtechs on the way for the headlights but what brand do you guys recommend for the reverse, license plate and the upper break light/bed light on the top of the cab ? I'm not replacing the break or turn signals right now, so I don't have to deal with any issues with hyper flashing.

i think you’re kind of being tough there. It’s a valid question and that’s why this forum exists. If you can’t give any good feedback please refrain from replying. Thank you

Go to the Diode Dynamics website or give them a call.

Ok, I'll play ... since I do like ice cream ... are they 3157's? If so these work well, I've used them ..

Bow tie. I guess this is the type of reply we can expect from the Chevy world.

ice cream guy - many brands will work for what you want to do. I used SuperBright LED for reverse lights and some cheapo 194 type LED from Amazon for license plate lights.
Take a second look at your 3rd brake light/cargo light. It may already be LED. My truck’s only an XLT but I found that light to be factory LED.

I got all mine off Amazon.

I went with Beamtech's for the headlights. ( I get minor radio interference and they are mailing me CANBUS adapters for free)
I bought Alla T20 Switchbacks for the front signals only to learn my truck requires the 4257 bulb. I'm returning those to get a 3157 switchback
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)

Ice Cream if you make the change to LED,please post what you used and how installation went for you. I'm thinking of making the change to and would like to know how it all went and if you are satisfied with the change.
