Screen protector, halogen tail light replacement to LEDs and our local tint shop installed a eyebrow for $40.

Edit: should read license plate light, not tail lights.

Do you happen to know the tail light LED number?

I'm sorry. Just realized I typed tail light, when I meant license plate light.
Oh, ok. I'm good then. I don't particularly care if cops can see my license plate clearly. Thank you.

The LED tail light change was done the night I brought mine home. Unconscionable that a $76K truck has LED lights everywhere else. How much would it have cost Ford to add 2 more 194 bulbs? I paid $12 at the auto parts store for them.

Thats not why the switch.
Why then? Did you do the tail lights too?

Did you have issues with the back up camera being blinded by the license plate lights? I've seen people have issues with that.

I'm pretty sure the RCSBs come with halogen tail lights too.

Switching the license plate lights are pretty inconsequential unless I did the tail lights too.

The halogens age the lenses and some even reported burning the connectors from heat. I already had the correct bulbs from a different project, so it was a no brainer.

I can't really say about the rear camera. Definably not blinded but if it is less clear, I can't swear to it one way or the other.

Did your truck come with LED tails?
