Perfect fit and amount of light. Color matches the LED in the tailgate handle perfectly. Thirty seconds to install. Pop the old bulbs out, put the LED bulbs in. As some had reviewed, I had no fitment issue at all. Makes me wonder why Ford didn't use LEDs here.

Apologies if this is a "re-ask", but what brand/model is this (a few have been posted by now)? 30 seconds to install with perfect fit is all the review I need to order some. Thanks for the pic!

Very nice, thanks for the comparison. Which bulbs did you get? I'd like to buy a set for mine. Thanks!

I picked up a set of these as well. (V1) It is strange how everything else is LED and they missed these. Probably figured no-body but G1 owners and other drivers would notice. :)

It's prolly the G1 owners swapping them out during shipment....

Picked up more e Thursday night, and finally able to get pictures during the day. What an awesome truck! Really happy with the road feel and transmission. Don't think I have a single complaint so far.

I would have to say, I am not a fan of the bed graphics, but the only trucks they seem to look good on are the blue and magnetic. Great looking truck. Congrats.

I always want to make sure I have a good feel for changing a tire on any new vehicle, so I dropped the spare and took a look. I was surprised to see a sticker on it that said "temporary use only." It appears to be a normal K02 beadlock. I wouldn't have expected to have any limitations on the spare. Anybody have any ideas on this?

What kind of rim was on it?

Maybe no TPMS sensor?
