When you search on ebay, filter it for North America only! You'll be able to find almost all of them in the US, I got mine in two days! The only ones I had to select outside of US was the reverse and cargo lights because I wanted the 25w one, and the 5w with 10 side LED one. My 5w with 10 side LED one came in about a week. The 25w one is waiting for the chinese festival or whatever the heck that is lol.

I have a TON of extras if anybody is interested in them.

Do you have a set of the reverse? I'm willing to try them out

I'm still waiting on mine, thought they'd be in by now but seems damn chiense festivial it got returned to them.......or so they say, I never got a tracking number that worked so I think it's BS on their part. They offered a discount, so I told them I wanted it still and possibly 2 sets of them so waiting to see IF they offer anything to compensate the delay.

I installed the 10w dome lights, while WAY brighter than the bulb I had the color hue was more purple than I liked. I took pictures and will post tomorrow but installed my 16LED one tonight, least it matches the front. I'd also like to state that the 10w boards could probably fit in the map lights as well but I wasn't happy with the hue.. just not what I liked and it's pure personal preference on my part.

I only have extras of the small ones. Basically everything but the turn signals (front/rear) and cargo/reverse lights. Those aren't usually sold in bulk, and people have their preferences for the turn signals, or sizes on the reverse and cargo. The small LEDs are all pretty much the same. I bought those in bulk so I could do the raptor, the mustang, my HD truck, and have extras for whatever else. Since I got so many though, I think I have enough extras of the small LEDs for about 5 more trucks. That would be mirror puddle lamps, front dome light, rear dome light, visor lights, and tag lights. I'll snap some pics and put a classified up to sell the extras off now that my Raptor and the 5.0 are all LED'ed up lol.

Let us know about the sale. I am 90% sure I will buy.

Okay here's the 10w dome light. It fits nicely over the stock bulb holder. The cover fits on it, but it's tight. It is definitely pretty freaking bright compared to the other 16 LED bulb I had, but the color hue is different... It's more purplish compared to my map lights. While it's definitely brighter, I wasn't happy with the color hue so I put my stock bulb back in.

On a side note though, since this light comes with 3 different bulb sockets and one being a 194. I think it'd fit in the map lights too, so someone could swap them all out with these. It would be unreal how bright the interior lights would be, but while it's personal preference I'm going to keep what I had before. Was worth a try!

Alright update time on the LED tail lights... This makes NO SENSE to me, but maybe someone can chime in a fill me in.

I installed the 3 ohm 50w resistors on the truck, everything work perfectly.... I turned my parking lights OFF and then my left or right signal would make BOTH sides blink! I still had the 6ohm 50w resistors laying around so I put them on the bottom light (running light to ground) and everything works perfectly fine with or without parking lights on. Makes no sense why I needed to hook up the 6ohm resistors to the tails....????

In the pictures you can see where I drilled a hole and with a small screw and nut plus some blue lock-tite I secured the resistors behind the body. I did the same with the tail light resistor too. I'm concerned that the resistor will get pretty freaking hot while normal driving.... I see no reason for it, but that's the one way I could get it all operating like stock.

The LED lights are really not much, if any, brighter than stock bulbs. They do look a lot better in housing thought and doubtful anyone can tell I swapped them out to LED.

so wait you left the 1st set on, and it started blinking both sides, and if you added the 2nd set, it would operate normal? Or you swapped the 1st set for the 2nd set?

And which wires did you tap into? I noticed the tails have 3 wires to the bulbs. It was too damn cold outside for me to hook mine up yet, I only popped them in to see how they looked, then swapped them back to stock till it warms up and I have time to install the resistors cleanly without my fingers freezing off lol

You guys are amazing! I really enjoyed reading this thread.

To confirm, I have a 2011 SCREW with moonroof and I have a single 578 bulb that is about 1.5 inches long.

I'm looking forward to seeing videos on how to open those puddle lights up for bulb replacement. I have a LED set from a source and I'm not pleased with the light output. Thinking I want to try the swap myself.

I first installed the left side with the resistors... all worked normally.

Next I installed the right side with resistors.... with parking lights off both sides would flash. With parking lights on it worked normally.

It doesn't make any sense why it does this, but I did find out if connecting the 6ohm resistors to the parking lights everything works normally with lights on or off..

I hope some else can install theirs and see if they have the same issues, like I said makes zero sense.
