2015 First Impressions

I have had my 2015 for a week now. I love the way it drives and handles. Seems more solid than my 13 and is more comfortable.
The only thing I have issues with is why would you make every light led except the fog lights and the license plate? Why not go all the way?
That being said I am now looking for led replacements for both.
This is a great truck.

I was thinking the same thing! The light in the center console and the USB/media storage as well. I will probably order these for mine!!

That is a nice kit but I just replaced the fog bulbs with an LED bulbs off ebay for $18. The bulb is an H10, 9145, 9005 (multiple part numbers). I went with a 30 watt 6000K bulb that matches just about perfect.

I have not had a chance to look at the license plate bulb to see what part number it is and if there would be an easy swap for it.

I believe the license plate bulbs are 194. Super bright LEDs has several choices. I had them in my 2005 and they were great!! How are the LED bulbs you bought from eBay?

Thanks for the info on the plate bulbs.

I have only had them on a few days but they look real good color wise and are much brighter than the stock bulbs. I will try to get a picture tonight and post it.

Hard to take agood picture of lights but you can tell the color and output is much better.

They do kind of look that way in the picture but I think the amber marker lights are making the headlights look a little more yellow to the camera lens.

To my eye it is very very close. You would probably be fine either way.
