The cargo lights are 921.

The reverse lights are either 7440 or 921 I'm guessing it depends on whether or. Or you've got the LED taillights.

I buy mine from VLEDS.com.

Just fyi...... 921s are the same as 194s in the LED world..

So are the LEDS listed in the very first post of this thread still good for a 2014 Express (Quad/HEMI)?

Doesn't help me any, only lets me select Ford, and doesn't answer my original question about the SuperBrightLEDS the original poster listed.

My Buddy at work just got an express and I'll check his out for you and let you know what I find.

I just ordered mine. I'm not going to replace the upper glove box/license plate/or the visor lights. I do have the foot well lights so I got LEDs for those. Hopefully all will look good. Thanks OP for the write up and for making it extremely easy to find the right LEDs on superbrightleds. :happy107:

Pretty sure 921 is the right size. I think I remember reading that the bulb mounts from the bottom so the light is vertical. So you would need a side-emitting LED. I could be blowing smoke out my **** though about that last part.

The reverse lights and cargo lights are next when there is a good 921 bulb that is side firing for the reverse lights.

I got these bulbs the second day I had my truck , just a few weeks ago and they are awesome .

Anyone know how to fix the error codes for the plate lights and reverse lights? I've tried switching to led's and as soon as I start the engine it throws codes for both. I got so tired of seeing it that I put the stock ones back in but it still bugs me...

Which ones did you get, and from where?

Darthdzl, I ordered them from DDM, actually picked them up cause I'm local. It was the "7440 / 7443 LED, 23 x 5630 SMD" for the reverse and "194 LED Bulb, 6 x 5630 SMD" for the license plate. The bulbs worked great, but I couldn't get rid of the error codes.

I got mine from SuperbrightLEDs.com and they're all CAN-BUS versions. Are the ones that you got CAN-BUS? I think they have to be before or the computer will ***** about it.

That's probably the difference. Didn't know there was such a thing as a canbus led. Thanks!

Thanks CMil.

Darth, can you tell me the exact bulb you ordered from SuperBright for your reverse? I found the 194 can bus bulbs without a problem but, every 7440 bulb they have specifically says "No" for can bus...
