LED Headlight-Tail light Conversion Bulbs
Just wanted to get a good recommendation on a good LED headlight and tail light bulb. Wanting to convert my 2019 Super Duty that unfortunately didn't come with the LED factory lights. For cost savings, not interested in the complete LED assembly conversion, just want to replace with a good LED bulb. Thanks in advance.

Many brands will work fine for what you want to do. Check a bunch out and buy what you deem good for your situation. I only mention the above brands because that's what I have experience with.
If you have questions on bulb numbers, visit SuperBright LED's website. Even if you don't buy there you can view the reference for the various bulb numbers.

Be advised that you'll have to make a FORScan adjustment or get resistors if you swap out incandescent for LED turn signals because you'll have a hyperflash on your instrument cluster. The bulb will actually be flashing at normal speed from the exterior, but the cluster will show a rapid flash.

Thank you for the very detailed reply. That's exactly what I was looking for, recommendations from real life experience. Also, thanks for the heads up about the turn signals and the FORScan.

I put Beamtech’s in my 2017. They are a huge improvement over the halogens, they did cause radio interference but I contacted Beamtech about it and the sent me 4 decoders for free within a few days. That took care of the radio interference.

I bought the Beamtech for my 2020 7.3 (same fitment) about three weeks ago, and am happy. With gas engine, there is plenty of room to reach down and swap out without having to remove anything other than the air filter housing (one pin) on passenger side. Noticeable difference with the extra light.

Headlight revolution is where it is at. My GTR bulb went bad on the front marker and 13 months later they replaced it no questions asked. All my bulbs are from them. I had beamtech before I went to the Supernovas in the headlights and there is a huge difference.
