Could be something with the Light bar...I agree that is great it works....

I am getting the cargo lights you recommend as well...

I notice Outlaw is selling a "Complete Kit" including Blinkers for Raptors...I got a question to them regarding the Hyper flash...

Interested to know what you find out...glad the blinkers are working...

Here is the Outlaw Thread on their LED Kits: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f85/outlaw-raptor-led-bulb-packages-now-available-20135/

I have nothing against Outlaw by any means, but $50 for interior bulbs is kinda steep IMO. I paid $10 shipped and have enough to do 4 Scab trucks! I'm just giving the extras away to do the interior of his SRT8 since same size bulbs. :)

Thought the same thing as well...Raptor Tax....

Haha, it's sort of true though! Oh well, anyone interested I've personally ordered those bulbs for my truck and love them. I did some research to find the most SMD LEDs on the dome lights. Also don't think any 194 bulbs longer than what I posted would fit in map lights.

I retrofitted the puddle lights in my 2010 and put some LED bulbs in there. I like them but think I'll end up getting another set and make my own boards though.

I already posted my thoughts on reverse lights and cargo lights. I kind of wonder if it'd be a good idea to start my own thread with what definitely fits and the absolute brightest replacement bulbs you can buy. Plus a little info for anyone wanting to tackle making their own LED boards instead of buying. :)

I say go for it...there is some confusion, at least for me, in regards to LED and lights in general for the Truck, adding to the fact that many selections exists for each type of light...

Did you ever find out how your LED. Linkers worked with no resistors or known relay? Could it be the LED you ordered just happen to work in our trucks?

I think I will, I know I had a hell of time, even with using Google, to find what size bulbs I need. I like the thread about LED conversion but still think there's more infomation that's needed to everyone. If someone had links that I have done and happy with, that'd make it really easy for anyone wanting to do LED interior or exterior conversion.........for CHEAP! :)

Fixing to check the flasher now. I just took 120+ pics of all lighting, will post some in these threads. Within next few days I'll compose my own thread with all info pertaining to what I've personally done and all links, wattages and bulb sizes for all lighting. :)

Sounds great,

FYI keep in mind, these are only pictures with a basic settings on my Cannon DSLR. Lighting is skewed due to camera, but more/less show what to expect with the bulbs I installed. I do believe you'll be completely thrilled using these but just wanted to clarify that.

Cargo is bright...

Also my tail lights have headlightarrmor on them too, 50% light smoke.... so if no tint, reverse lights should be even brighter.

Just checked... I can't freaking locate my flasher but it's DEFINITELY on driver's side under the dash. I can hear the damn thing clicking but no matter how much I looked I couldn't find or feel it clicking under there. I'm 33 and have my glasses on so it made it hard to look under there every where, but no luck. I actually sounds WAY up there maybe close to signal stalk... I'm hoping someone will chime in and point it out.
