Led exterior lighting

[jwheeler]

So a few months ago I installed some aux led flush mount reverse lamps. But they are a nice white and the stock reverse bulbs are kind of a yellow. Last week I installed some new led cargo lighting in the bed. They are also a nice white but the stock cargo lamp is kind of a yellow. I have looked around locally and can't find anything. What do you guys recommend for a place to purchase led cargo and reverse bulbs that will look a little better? Any preferred brand? Thanks for the help.

I picked up most of my replacement bulbs from RetroSolutions (not to be confused with Retroshop!) when Jeremy was still associated with them, practically when my truck was new. Great bulbs (their hid kits sucked though, and customer serviced lacked for more involved stuff like that but I digress).

And these must be newerish, but I'd bet they'd be like having another set of back up bulbs in the cargo lights.

Any bulbs they didn't have at the time I snagged from SuperBrightLeds.com, also nice bulbs. I'm sure others have had success with the cheaper Amazon stuff too though.

Edit: how do you like that rubber bed mat? I was thinking about getting one to replace my BedRug mat.

I got mine from Amazon, I tried 2 different types that appear to be the latest 921 bulbs available. Very bright, no errors.

The ones on the left are slightly brighter, and appear to be about 5k, and are the ones I prefer. On the right are roughly 6k by my eyes.



I used the ones on the left for my reverse, and on the right for cargo lamps.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll check those out.

I like it a lot. The spray in liner on mine is pretty abrasive and stuff slides all over the place. Really like the rubber mat. I can set something in there and it is right where I left it when I go back to get it. Plus I think the mopar one looks cool.

Quick question. If I replace my 3rd brake light with a Sylvania led will it hyper flash or show on my dash? 2011 Ram Laramie. I changed my brake/turn signal and put a resister on those to fix that problem but I didn't know about the 3rd brake light. Thank you everyone.

I'm running these in my cargo light & reverse lights.

Same brand in red for the 3rd brake.
No errors, very bright.

I was trying not to order anything. I wanted to just run in and get it. But I thank you!

Anyone try the Diode Dynamics XPR bulbs in the cargo lights? $90 for the pair is kind of pricey.

I use these in both reverse lights and cargo lights. No dash warnings and on my second year of use. Got them from amazon.
