The only LED tail lights I could find for the Maverick have been Lasfit. I had some old LEDs laying around in the garage and wanted to see, if I just trim them up if they would work? Turns out they do! 3057/3157/4057, just trim the wings/tabs off and boom. I need to install resistors, so if anyone knows which wires I need to tap, you’ll save me some time. I made a video with my son to show you what we did.

Those are some great lights but I am cheap lol. With the amount of stuff on ebay and amazon, I was trying to crack the code since it seems there is only two brands (Lasfit and Dynamic Diodes) for the ford mavericks. 921/168 LED bulbs work just fine for the upper cargo lights, and 3057/3157/4057 work just fine for the tail lights. You can get brighter lights for way cheaper. I was surprised to see there isn't any videos

I need information on how to install the resistors. THAT is the part I'm completely in the dark on.

I love Diode Dynamics products. The only problem with their taillight bulbs is that they are not plug & play resistor capable. You're going to get hyperflash unless you install a separate resistor kit.
I posed the same question on another thread and got a recommendation for Morimoto bulbs that do have built in resistors and should work on the Lariat hybrid models
