Heres the photos. They aren't as blue looking as they appear, they are 85% white 15% blue to my best judgment.











do u recommend buyin the 4-led license plate leds from superbrightleds with a 32 degree viewin angle

Can you provide a link to it? I had two sets of superbrightled's 194 bulbs for the plate lights and each set one blew out, so I have no positive feedback for them.

Hey I am trying to order my dome light for my truck and I was wondering does the dome light have the post connection or the rigid loop connection to connect the light to the socket the application guide says 578 or 6411 and those are the differences in the two post or rigid loop connectors

Anyone know what size bulb I'd need for my turn signals for a 2003? My orange tint is all flaky, and also, 194's fit the license plate correct? (I changed my to red, but, just making sure, I don't remember)

The domes are rigid loop/festoon style. Only map lights are post connection bulbs. 578 is what the Ford trucks use.

The differences in rigid loop/Festoon and post is the festoon is the long bulb with connectors on the end ( domes ) and post is insert from bottom connection style.

Festoon

You could try niteshading orange coated bulbs. The orange coating is near dark enough, a few shots of VHT niteshade would darken appearance some.

Signals are 3157. Go ahead and get the stealth/chrome 3157 bulbs if you have clear corners. Plates are 194s. No larger than 32mm.

If you add LEDs for your taillamps and keep the front signal bulbs filaments yes you will need to do resisters. If you do a full LED take over in the parkers and tails all you would need is a LED capable signal relay so it transmits less watts to the bulb, and allows for proper signal speed.

Better yet, i'll display

Basically, its a new turn signal relay, replace your OEM for the LED capable one. End result, proper functioning signals.
