2025 Maverick backup lights too dim / weak

[Frenchy]

Any 3156 will work, but you will need to remove the side tabs. A Dremel with a sanding drum makes very short work of it.

I use these. They have great heat management, a lifetime warranty and are made by OSRAM in Italy: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CKQP5CO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I tried 3156 and 3157, they do not work for me .
The bulb 'tongue" is too thin and too narrow. Any idea.
I cannot find anywhere a list of light bulbs used on the 2025 Maverick.
Help please.

That's strange. The Sylvania/OSRAM 3156 and 3157 work perfectly with the tabs ground off, like they were made for it. I had no reason to believe those codes wouldn't work for other brands, and from what I understand the 2025 taillights are no different than earlier years. Can you take a picture of the LED modules you're trying to fit and post it? If you can, take a picture of the original bulbs as well.

The bulb codes are listed in your owner's manual. You can use the codes in the manual to cross-reference here:

Thank you very much.

So the manual says WT21-7W . I tried to find something on the Internet but I could not.
Then I put this number on Amazon and these came up immediately:

Again, thank you for your help.
