LED Lighting Question

[Mrdon2022maverick]

Hello all-
Those of you that have changed out some of the non-LED's in your Lariat. Which brand have you chosen? Switchback is what I think I'm leaning towards for the front turn signals. Hyper-Flash has been brought up on some videos and what not. Has anyone or can anyone recommend a brand they have used that doesn't cause either hyper-flash from the bulb or the dashboard indicator?

TIA-

See what Diode Dynamics has to offer. Maybe someone here has used their products.

Switchback won't work as designed in the Lariat. Switchback is not what prevents it from hyperflashing, it's what allows it to turn back as a white DRL when not flashing amber. So if you put switchbacks in the Lariat, they will operate as turn signals, amber flash only. They will not ever tiurn white.

What you will want for the Lariat is a CANBUS error free LED. It includes a heat sink that will keep it from hyperflashing. I used the non Switchback 4257 from Lasfit. They work great in my Lariat. Super bright. You want standard socket, not CK.

Thank you..... So you had no interest in a Switchback, white drl and amber turn? or they just don't work. This is new to me so trying to educate myself....
Thanks for your advise!!

Have looked at those too....

Thx

Yes.... I will. I've seen the Panda Motorworks YouTube on those.....

They don't work in the Lariat. In the XL and XLT, the turn signal is also the Daytime Running Light. So switchbacks allow it to operate as a signal and DRL. Amber and white, respectively.

However, the Lariat turn signal is not wired that way. It only flashes one color. Because the DRL is separate, in the eyebrow trim at the top of the light assembly. If you put two color switchbacks in a Lariat, it will only flash one color. The amber.

So you might as well just buy the non switchback for a Lariat. But there is no harm in putting the switchbacks. They still work, just one color.

Do the Lariat turn signal sockets retain the pin/wiring for DRL and it's unused?

+1 was hoping to get some lariat headlights down the line and put a switchback bulb in for the turn signal, my goal was to have one big glob of white light (lariat signature lights white drl + turn signal switchback white drl when not signalling + lowbeam mains on as DRL = DONT CUT ME OFF I KNOW YOU CAN SEE ME)

Is this what you ordered? Package includes front turn signals, front side marker and rear cargo bulbs for $85.47. Says these are made specifically for the Maverick.

The hyper flashing is not due to any particular brand. It's the nature of an LED bulb. A regular incandescent bulb has a higher resistance which allows it to turn on/off at a slower pace. The LED have virtually no resistance and thus you'll see the more rapid on/off. If you want to avoid the rapid flashing, you'll need to install resistors in the circuit. Usually, when you search for LED auto bulbs you'll also see recommendations to add those resistors.

UPDATE: This is what I love about this forum ... I just learned that some manufacturers are now including built-in resistance in their LED bulbs. About time, I'd say. Thank you MTC.

I thought the lariat had LEDS?

The LASFIT have built in resistors per the website.
4257 Front Turn Signal Light: T series｜Amber color, 24W/bulb, 2600LM/bulb.
Specially designed for turn signals for 2022 Ford Maverick, highly noticeable, built-in resistor function works perfectly with the vehicle computer system (CANBUS). You can rest assured you won't see any error code gauge cluster lights, hyper flashing, or have to deal with an extremely hot external resistor.

Thanks good to know....
