Front Switchback LED - Lasfit T3-4257D vs Diode Dynamics HP24

[cdubbed]

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the front switchback LED offerings from both Lasfit and Diode dynamics. I will say that the differences aren't nearly as apparent in the photos. Daytime photos may have been better, but this is what I've got right now. I was running the Lasfit, and have switched to the Diode Dynamics. I may swap a Lasfit back in at some point and get some daytime shots.

Both bulbs plug in without modification. The Diode Dynamics has some little plastic tabs I thought I was going to have to cut off, but that turned out not to be the case. The Diode Dynamics white mode is much brighter than the Lasfit. The amber mode on the Diode Dynamics is a darker yellow color that more closely matches the factory bulbs and the front side marker lights, where the Lasfit is a lighter/brighter shade of yellow. Lastly, the Lasfits have built-in resistors to prevent hyperflash, and the Diode Dynamics require that you either install a seperate resistor or use Forscan to disable the front outage indicator in the BCM module.

Diode Dynamics is on the left (passenger side), and Lasfit is on the right (driver side)

I just might have to look into those. Does Diode Dynamites also have tail lights?

They do. I have the HP11s and like them. It’s the same deal as the front, you have to either install a separate resistor or disable the rear outage indicator. Also worth noting the HP11s have some little plastic tabs that you do have to cut off to fit in the socket. They’re easy to shave off with a utility knife.

Diode Dynamics has a full line of bulbs. I have replaced every incandescent bulb in my truck (even the sunvisor mirror lights!) with DD products and couldn't be happier.

Checked the Diode Dynamics website & nothing for the 2025 Maverick.

Their website isn't the most accurate with vehicle searches. You're better off going by bulb numbers.

Guess I will have to wait for Maverick to get here sometime in January.

The owners manual is available now and it probably has bulb numbers in it if you want a head start. I saw it linked in another thread here.

Yes U R right & I can find that @ ford.com. I was looking through some of it already.

I like that Diode Dynamics is here in Missouri. As well as Super Bright LEDs.

I have tried in Forscan for the life of me to only enable the parking lights/front blinkers as drl. But cannot get only them to run as drls, My low beams come on with the parking lights with parking lights enabled as DRLs.

I currently have the lasfit bulbs for the front parking light blinkers and while they're very bright there not as accurate of a amber to OEM or other LED parking lights I have in other vehicles.

The owner's manual lists the same bulbs as the 2024.

I haven't done it myself but it looks like there's quite a few different setting you have to change to get it to work.

Yup, Snowcats is the thread I used.

Found the list in owner's manual.

This is five different bulbs in one package.
diodedynamics.com only had the front Switchback $35
