Smoked headlights installed, now LED bulbs

I installed my smoked headlights for a 2008 FX2 F150 today. Everything worked out fine and it looks great. I want to install LED Signal and Parking Signal bulbs in my headlight.

I found the website www.superbrightleds.com and their LED lights are not expensive at all. I wanted to see if anyone ordered from these guys? How are the LED light bulbs from them?

Can someone confirm that I chose the correct ones?

Backup Lights
WLED-x4-x: 4 LED Wedge Base Bulb
Options: WLED-A4-90: Amber Wide

Signal Lights - Front
1157-x24: 24-LED BAY15D bulb
Options: 1157-A24-WV: 1157 Amber 100 Degree

Parking Lights - Front
3157-x25: 25-LED 16mm Wedge Base 3157 Bulb

Why would you want amber in your reverse lights?

The second one is incorrect. The 1157 is a metal twist base used in older cars. I'm not sure what the difference between the two are on your 11th gen, but the front turn signal/parking light should be 3157 and the little light behind your reflector is a 197 I want to say.

But superbrightleds is a GREAT website. I order from them all the time. 5/5.

you need:

reverse: 3156 white to be useful (you can chose any color you wish)

front park/turn: 3157 amber

front side marker (behind reflector): 194 amber

thank you for your help. I searched online and that's what I found out over the sites vehicle reference link. I was not really sure and wanted to ask you guys thanks

I've seen these Putco LED's which are pretty expensive compared to others. Is it better to get these LED's? or if I get a pair of Amazon.com for half the price?

I have another question.... I've ordered these smoked headlights with chrome housing and they look nice on my FX2, but I see a few other members who have the same style of headlights but their smoke is not that dark. I was not able to find them online. Do you have a few links up ur sleeve, where i might be able to find them with a lighter smoke. Thanks

p.s.: It supposed to bright white for the Reverse bulb....sorry
