New LED bulbs From Lasfit to fit Maverick

[TrailMaster]

Pre orders. I'll watch and see what the guinea pigs have to say after they are available. Expensive bulbs.

They sent me ones to try on a 23 XLT hybrid with all recalls done and they work great. No Hyperflash inside even if it is short lived. Had them in for about a month

The new ones they just announced or the older T3s?

Thanks for the updated info. The price is about $10 more. Figure $120 total expenditure to replace all four bulbs.
TBH, I've always thought the OEMs were bright enough especially with the oversized taillight assembly, but as a member pointed out, the LEDs have a faster response time when you hit the brake. Could give the driver behind you a quicker warning.

The new ones. They had some people test them to make sure they worked

Oh, great! Good to hear. I would have been a bit suspicious were they the older T3s.

Good to hear these are working. Why are you saying they'll be short lived? I thought quality LEDs were supposed to have a longer lifespan than halogens.

I was talking about the hyperflash inside the cab. Mine was not a permanent hyperflash. Just lasted a second or two

While I guessed that is what you meant by "short-lived", appreciate your clarification.

I just upgraded some of mine this morning: Front Turn Signals, Frt Side Markers, Rear Cargo Lights and 3rd Brake Light (CHMSL). I figured I'd start with these first. Cost was $95 after some discounts. They look good so far but I can't judge the CHMSL yet until my wife gets home to push the pedal while I look.

Installation was really easy, except the Frt Side Markers were somewhat tricky - you can remove the lamp from the front (see YouTube video) with some plastic pry tools (I bought a tool kit for $16 at AutoZone). Otherwise you gotta go through the wheel well.

I was able to pry both lamps out without any damage. I took my time (about 10 min each), I put a paper towel between the pry tool and the edge of the opening, and made sure I pushed the lamp fully forward like the video shows. Some may want to go through the wheel well to avoid the risk of damage if you are not comfortable with this method. I think you can avoid removing the wheel if you turn the steering wheel for better access on each side.

Thanks for sharing your lighting update.
I've done the same, except I put a flashing bulb in that third brake light (it flashes 3 times, then stays on until brake pedal released).
I have to say the front turn signals are super bright to the point where I thought about returning to the OEM incans so as not to blind oncoming drivers. I want others to note I'm turning, but not to the point where I'm an annoyance.

What type of flashing bulb exactly?

"Strobe" would have been a better word for me to use.

After burning through 2 sets of the Rear Brake Lights, I gave up on Lasfit and will never return. I bought some cheap LED's on Amazon for a fraction of the price about a year ago and they still work great. You just have to dremel or cut the small side tabs in order for these Bulbs to fit.

I like my flashing third brake light.

Nice. Could you please help out a bro and let me (all of us) know where you got it?
