Hello

I'm looking to change my back-up bulb for led ones. Do you have any suggestion? I want something bright and durable.

Also do you have some suggestion to replace the factory roof marker bulb ?


thank you !

You have halogen tails I take it?

Aftermarket LED bulbs have been known to throw codes and cause hyper flash.

You'll need resistors to eliminate the hyper flash.

Edit: are you just talking about the reverse bulbs only?

Yes I only want to change the reverse bulb, and the roof marker if there is something brighter and amber than the stock ones

Oh ok..

Brands like vleds, superbright leds have pretty reliable bulbs.

The brightness varies...there's so many to choose from.

I've got these JDM's off Amazon and they put off more light output than any other 921 LED I've tried. I previously had these HELLA H3 bulbs (motorcycle headlight bulb) solely as reverse. Even though they are claimed to be "error-free", when I plugged the JDM's into the stock sockets they threw a reverse light out message. Instead of using resistors to fix this error message, I drilled a hole in the reverse housing roughly the same size as the stock hole and about 1/2 inch from said stock hole. So now I have both LED and halogen side by side in the reverse housing and the light output is phenomenal. I also added LED pods on the bottom lip of the bumper and they put off the most light, but in the picture taken perpendicular to the truck, you can see that the bulbs in the reverse housings put out a great spread of light that reaches over 180 degrees from the rear end.

I had these before I got full LED tails, and they were super bright and looked great with the back up camera.

Is this link to the proper bulb for a 2015 without leds? (Reverse lights)

When I run a search for mine, it pulls up "194" but its different looking than the link.

I believe JJ from retroshops sells them as well as Enlight; both are vendors.

I have phillips bulbs in mine, but without the error cancelers, they will throw off a bulb out message

I like those LED POD lights, think I may add those on a separate circuit or run them with the cargo lights. Frequently, I'm loading/unloading my tools & trailer as the sun is going down. It would be nice to illuminate the area. With all these being LEDs the battery drain would be minimized. Also lately, I've noticed a lot of A/wholes that refuse to dim their hi-beams. I'd have the ability to flash them, while they ride my bumper....

You can fit a much larger bulb than that. Something like this...

Cutequeen LED Car Lights Bulb White T15 1206 68-SMD 906 579 901 904 908 909 912 914 915 916 917 918 920 921 922 923 926 927 928 939 (pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J7HBRL8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_mPzLwbTMPAYQM

That is insane. My "little" ones still gave awesome output without blinding everyone behind me.

My new LED tails have LED reverse lights built in already. They match the pattern of the red lights.
