I’ve been using Superbrightleds canbus bulbs for my truck but I’m on my 4th one that has a flickering diode. Im done with them. What are you guys using that actually works?

I've been using these in my 2012 for a month now with no noticeable flicker. I know the older 4th gens are less finicky about lights, though.

I have been using the ones from headlight revolution. Haven't had any issues with flickering or canbus.

Diode Dynamics - have had them for over 3 months, no issues apart from the odd time the cluster will say license plate bulb out - even though they are working fine. Have the pure white - HP3 (56 lumens)

I put some in and get occasional "bulb out" msgs, but haven't bothered to look for a better solution. Flicker is one thing; bulb out is another. If the police want to get picky, they can pull you over the bulb out.

I got these for the cargo lights and license plate and theyve been working fine for a while now

I bought 2 canbus cheap amazon leds, says Philips led, but is generic name brand. So far only thing I notice is when truck is off, they stay on dim for about 5 minutes then shut off.

That happens with my Cargo Area lights that I put CANBUS LEDs into. I think they also stay on when truck is running. I haven't confirmed that yet. I might swap these back out to halogens as I do eventually plan on putting a bunch of bed lights in.

I went ahead and ordered these. Thank you.

Anyone have any luck with LED’s in a 2018? I’ve been unlucky so far. Bulb out and flickering have become more of a frequent problem. Now I have the regular old bulbs in

I have been using the Auxito 194 led bulbs without any issues for the past 3 months. $20 CAN for a 10 pack off Amazon.

I bought an led third brake light that the white cargo lights stayed dimly lit when driving. I had to wire in resistors to solve the problem. Works fine now.

I've been using these for years on many trucks!

These worked without errors in my 2014, but when I had them, they had a high failure rate (about 50% after less than 6 months). Hopefully they work better for you.

My current "trial" is with these units here. So far, its been almost six months of bitter winter, and no issues. They fit in the Rambox light spaces and license plate light spots well.

For my reverse lights, I used these (although they are no longer available). Almost two years now without any issues, still going.

Bought a pair of Philips LED 921 bulbs for my cargo lights. No issues, again almost two years and still going. However, they have since changed the design, so cannot comment on the current "model" of Philips LED bulbs.

Was totally expecting these to be cheap and do that.. But I ran two in the cargo and license plate for along time and surprisingly never had any issues!

Doing the same on my 17 Big Horn. KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!!

I believe they are 6 ohm 50 watt resistors. They fix the constant dimly lit problem.

License plate LED that actually works.
