What are you running for LED reversing bulbs?
The tech folder is rather outdated on this, so what are you running for aftermarket LED reversing bulbs? They're the last things that's not running LED's on my truck, and greatly need upgrading, cause I can't see **** reversing as it's so dark at night where I live.

When switching from standard to LED bulbs, are there any wiring or other changes required? Do they have any tendency to overheat the enclosures?

LED will not overheat the enclosure. BUT the opposite is a concern....the enclosure can overheat the LED. Heat kills LEDs . If you install high intensity LEDs continuously in an enclosure, they will die prematurely. You can get away with installing high intensity LEDs backup bulbs because they will only be on for short periods.

I used these from Amazon the work great and really light up the night Ultra-bright LED bulbs for upgrading tail, brake, backup, and turn signal lights. Easy installation and long-lasting performance. It's a popular product! https://a.co/d/07FxYn9l

Remember if you switch to LED brake or turn signal lights you have to change to an LED flasher which is located behind the radio. Just switching to LED reverse lights does not require any modifications. You will not be sorry for upgrading.
