Lastfit LED's burning out

[Waterick]

Sounds like Lastfits are not worth the extra money.

I'm not using Lasfit bulbs on my Maverick Lariat, but I'll definitely keep an eye out on mine after reading these posts. I'm using Underground Lighting LED bulbs on my Maverick and so far they have been working amazing. They are a little bit more expensive than Lasfit, but I decided to go with Underground Lighting because of their lower Lumens level (1200) compared to Lasfit's (1400 - 1600). I was looking for LED bulbs with around 600 - 700 lumens to be closer to what OEM's put in their vehicles, but no one makes them yet. I'm not a fan of aftermarket LED bulbs that blind everything and everyone. Hopefully in the future a company will make LED bulbs with lower Lumens levels.

I'll have to check those ones out then. Thanks

Do you have any hyper flashing for the turn signals?

Non

None, nada, zilch...

not worth buying at all, I'd say.

besides burning out early, I've also seen numerous people complain about radio interference from them. I don't listen to the radio, but still, it's another data point and I sure wouldn't buy this brand.

They are not high quality lights. Just repackaged Chinese bulbs.

Even if they replace them for free, it's still a hassle. No thanks

Do you have the link? I don’t even see a Ford Maverick on the fitment chart unless I am looking at the wrong website.

I contacted their customer service and they are the same bulbs as the 2021 F-150

Yeah, no problem. It's undergroundlighting.com

The ones I purchased are the ones they sell for the F-150 (4257). Both the Maverick and F-150 use the same turn signal bulbs.

Here is a link for the last pair being sold on Amazon

I've had incandescent vehicle lights last for 15 years or longer. I think I'll just keep the ones that come on my Maverick. I don't need to blind people with turn signals or brake lights. And if they can't see the OEMs that come on the truck, they're probably futzng with their phone or some other screen, and wouldn't see anything in front of them anyway.

I was contemplating getting the LasFit back up bulb only. Re thinking my decision now.

 

[Dmthomp32]

Yeah I haven’t replaced a tail light in any vehicle for a pretty long length of ownership. My Volvo went 9 years without a bulb replaced. I considered these lasfit bulbs but not at this rate of exchange!

Only had mine about 3 months. Hardly any night driving.
None have burned out. I replace$ the front turn sign
nals with the improved ones and have had no hyperflashing since then.

The faster illumination response time of LEDs is the primary reason for me to use them in my taillights.

Incandecents vs LEDs:

”Studies conclude that LED signals provide a braking response time advantage between 170 and 200 ms under favorable lighting conditions and up to 300 ms under adverse lighting conditions (e.g., viewing at a distance with high-intensity illumination on the lamp surface). Note that a 200 ms improvement in braking response time is equivalent to a 19.1 feet reduction in stopping distance at a speed of 65 MPH.”

Just today I had to stop very hard on the freeway. Had I not had LEDs the person behind me would have probably rear ended me.

For that reason alone I will continue to use LEDs, especially in the tails.
