Just go onto ebay and search for "led bulbs" and you will find many choices.
Here is one for the taillights:

I have a set of these taillights on my F250. In the past I've wasted a lot of money on LED bulbs for the factory taillights and they just don't work very well. The main thing I noticed was that it was hard to distinguish the turn signal from the brake light when the brakes were applied. These taillights work very well, they're bright as hell and they look great not to mention the price is very reasonable.

mine are similar to GregsSD's link, and i think they work great. just make sure you DO NOT get the ones that all the LED's face backwards (like you see in the parts stores)... they won't cast any light into the reflectors.
i have a vid of the flashers on along with the running lights as well, i'll post it when i get home.
i have the same ones in amber up front too, and i just replaced the flasher under the dash with a $12 electronic replacement from autozone, and all has been well.

Zomkspeed on ebay also sells the LED taillights and has done well with others here on FTE.
Dfuser, our site sponsor carreis the LED taillights also.
And, just soeveryone knows, the LED taillights that zomkspeed, k2motors, Dfuser, and Recon sell are all the exact same lights. I was really upset with Recon when I figured this out. I have a lot of Recon's products, and called them about the taillights. I mentioned that the ones on ebay looked exactly like the ones they were selling but at almost 1/2 of the cost. The gentleman at Recon assured me they were not the same and offered me a big discount to buy the ones from Recon, since I was such a good customer for them. I purchased them, and when I got them I posted the part numbers that are molded into the plastic here. The lights that someone else bought on ebay had the exact same part numbers molded into them, and the exact same sticker covering the reverse light opening.
I am very happy with all of my Recon products, but I cannot recommend the LED taillights to anyone now that I know you can get them on ebay for almost 1/2 of the cost.

Another choice is to use the oval LED truck/trailer lights in your stock housings. Just cut out the back of your housing and glue or silicone the lights in.
They are very bright when I hit the brakes or turn signals and it cost me less than $50.

Did the same thing on my truck a couple years ago using Truck-Lite Model 60 LED lamps... got them via Ebay for $35 shipped for the pair. Used a dremel tool to cut out some of the stock reflector/housing where the bulb normally mounts, then used gel epoxy ($7) to hold that puppy in place (it's not going anywhere, LOL). Spliced the wires to the stock wiring since the plugs didn't match up, and installed a heavy duty flasher relay in place of the stocker to compensate for LED ($13). I guess that works out to about $60 or so and a couple of hours spent, but they look awesome. Completely stock until you tap the brakes and then that instant-on LED look, and they're bright, and a nice solid oval (more of a bar-donut) shape. I think there are a few pics of them in my sig, already re-installed and working.

Do you know if the tail lights of an '06 F250 are the same as 99-03 or 04 model F250s? A couple of the sellers on ebay you mentioned (zomkspeed, k2motors) are selling led taillights for 99-03 F250 models and they look like they would fit my 06. I emailed the sellers and they have not responded.

Like bbender said the lights will fit fine on all 99-07 Super Duty (and 97-03 F150s).
The 08 is a bit different and they will have a slight gap around the tailgate and have to do something about the reverss light (it uses a different socket).
