LED Lights

I have looked everywhere, I feel like we need a list of bulb part numbers throughout the truck that can be converted to the LED replacement bulbs. I have found a few sites that do this, but... they start asking, is it this bulb # or is it this bulb #. I have no idea. However!!! A list of the bulb part number for each socket would be super handy to reference.

I have replaced the dash lights, dome light I would like to convert every light over to LED eventually.


With that being said, Someone who is smart than I am.... GO!

Did you look in the owners manual?
Easy enough to find out pull a bulb for each bulb area.
The rear brake / turn and the front park / turn lights should be 1157 bulbs. Side markers should be 194 bulbs.
The only thing I am not sure of is the back up light, 67? or the plate light 194?

Let us know if your conversion is successful. I have tried two different sets of LED's and electronic flashers. I still can't get everything to work. Normal filament bulbs work, so I am pretty sure grounds and wiring is good. All the LED bulbs I have tried don't stay in the sockets very well. Like the diameters are just a tad too small or the **** on the sides too short.

I did notice on the hipo link that they carry a flasher for a total LED conversion that I might try.

I seem to remember reading that LED's are direction installation specific.
