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

[A.Bursell]

Found the list in owner's manual.

https://www.lasfit.com/products/ford-maverick-led-bulbs $167
This is five different bulbs.
diodedynamics.com only had the front Switchback $35

DD has all the bulbs (actually more), their website just isn't as friendly for finding by vehicle. Such a better product, I wish they would improve their website. But if you're willing to make a couple extra clicks...

The turn signals and the rear bulbs are all 3157 style (or they have the switchback as shown in this thread), the side markers are 194 style, the visors are 28mm festoon style, the third brake light/cargo lights I didn't order as I replaced mine with a F150 LED unit. They also have the add-on fig light kit, which I have been thrilled with. For the 3157 style bulbs you do have to cut, trim, or sand the little tabs off the sides of each bulb. That allows them to snap into the sockets and does not affect the DD warranty (3 years, except fogs are 7 years).

The only "catch" is the Forscan/resistor "work" needed.

I have had mine for almost a year now I believe and would do it exactly the same if I had to do it over again.

Have you tried searching the 2024 maverick on their website? It shows a lot more than just the front switchback, it shows bulbs for everything except the 3rd brake light. I would suggest following A.Bursell's advice if that doesn't work for you.

I'll make a quick guide - maybe save some trouble and encourage more people to buy a quality product even if it is a little more work. These are going to be the "mid-brightness" level for most, if you want brighter or dimmer you can still use this as a guide to find what you are looking for. Remember the 3158 style bulbs will need the tabs removed.

Yes, the Elite Series Add-On Fog Lamp Kit for 2022-2024 Ford Maverick is something I would like to install. I emailed Diode Dynamics about these for the 2025 Maverick & was told that since the front bumper was changed, Diode Dynamics has to find out if they will need to design a new bezel. And then make it.

The only "catch" is the Forscan/resistor "work" needed. Is this for the fog lamps? If so, I was reading that thread where person can make up wire harness to install the F-150 headlight switch that has the fog light position on it. I am fairly good with computers, but messing with Forscan would be something new for me. Scares me some. Make a little mistake and Maverick stops working. Not good.

I had to put resistors on the Grand Caravan when I installed the LED bulbs

The Forscan work would be in place of resistors like you put on your Caravan. It's either-or. Forscan is well documented a a piece of cake if you are familiar with computer work. It's literally a couple drop down menus to make the turn signals not hyperflash. You can do much more with it, but for the sake of hyper flashing that's all it is. A $40 cable and a free license.

Because the tail lights are doubled up on each side, does anyone know if we need one resistor on each side, or one resistor on each bulb?

I'm not using them personally, but you'd probably need to go with one each as they're seperate wires. I'm not sure if they connect at some point, all the wires are wrapped together for the run forward.
