Warning! LED Bulb distributors

[YazYaz]

Here is what they suggested after measuring the bulbs from the factory. Hope this helps.

Front turn Signals - 3156, 3157 & 4257 Turn Signal LED Bulbs*
Rear Tail - Tail Light LEDs for 2022-2023 Ford Maverick (pair)
Rear Turn - Rear Turn Signal LEDs for 2022-2023 Ford Maverick (pair) (You will choose the red option on this listing)
Front marker lights - Sidemarker LEDs for 2022-2023 Ford Maverick (pair) (You can choose either amber or Warm White, both work well under the amber lens!)
Backup lights - Backup LED for 2022-2023 Ford Maverick (pair)
3rd brake light - 921 XPR Red 3rd Brake Light LED Bulbs, 194 HP5 LED Bulbs (choose red for this option), I have listed 2 bulbs that cross-reference to the one you mentioned. I would recommend verifying the length of your stock bulb. The last image of these listings will show you the measurements of the bulb, you will want to pay attention to the total length of the bulb compared to your stock bulb. The 921 works great for the 3rd brake light as long as it's not too long to fit into that housing!
Cargo Light - Cargo Light LEDs for 2022-2023 Ford Maverick (pair) This is the same situation as above however we have confirmed that the 921 length does fit into the Cargo light housing.

Thanks. Good video at the bottom of the page about the 921.

What is this all about?

Fitment
NOTE: These bulbs require slight modification of the tabs for proper fitment in the factory socket

I don't see any mention of CANBUS or anything that would keep the stock flash rate vs hyper-flashing. Any info on that?

EDIT- I went to one of the links and I see a big resistor with wire-taps. If they have a true plug and play option I'm interested. Just not going to use to quick taps on my wiring.

At 3:21 in the video for the 921 XPR he mentions CANBUS.

Diode suggested to try the bulbs and then if needed add the quick connect resistors. They sell as an add on and have videos on youtube of how to install them. As I understand the issue the external resistors keep the heat away from the bulb which should improve it's lifespan. Unlike the Lasfit which puts the resistor inside the bulb housing.

As I understand the issue the external resistors keep the heat away from the bulb which should improve it's lifespan. Unlike the Lasfit which puts the resistor inside the bulb housing.

My understanding is that if they have true CAN-Bus compatibility that they should 'tell' the computer that the light is fine and keep flashing correct. Resistors are needed if that is not how the light is designed. Admittedly, I am not an expert, but this is my understanding. I wouldn't even necessarily be opposed to an external resistor if it just plugged in, but using those quick tap connectors is just asking for trouble and not how a professionally manufactured product should be installed, IMO. With that said, I'm sure I could source the proper bulb connectors and make it into a plug and play item through soldering or crimping and weatherproofing my connections, but just don't feel like I should have to after laying out decent money on bulbs. Maybe I will anyway, as it seems that LASfit does not have the best quality.

**I believe that 99% of vehicles going from Incandescent to LED will need those resistors.

Luckily the ones I received worked but I don't expect them to last more than a year.

I have had mine installed for 20 months with no problems.

I started out to go with Lasfit. But I've always been a firm believer in warranty coverage. If a manufacturer builds a quality product and supports it with a long warranty then they believe they will stand the test of time. From what I've read Lasfit is good about replacing the bulbs during their first year. But LED bulbs should easily outlast the factory bulbs many times over. The first thing I did with our new home 5 years ago was to replace every bulb in the house with LED. In those 5 years I've had to replace three. And they stayed on for 18 hours a day.

I have had good luck with Alla bulbs in the third brake light/cargo light assembly.

After saying I would not do so, I ended up going with LasFit for my Reverse light which is the only light I care about changing. I need to illuminate more so the backup camera works better in the dark. It does. The LasFit is 15w, crazy bright and will not get used all that much being in a backup light. My feelings, anyway.

I upgraded my reverse lights also. Made a big difference for the camera.

Got my set of Lasfits for under $40 thanks to the market on the forums.

I bought a FANTELI 921 LED Bulb kit from Amazon. Two bulbs for the cargo light and two flashing bulbs for the third brake light. I installed one in my Maverick brake light and we installed one in an F250.

The cargo lights are very bright.

The whole kit for $16

Another happy Lasfit customer here -- replaced all my bulbs over a year ago and no problems. VERY bright -- the reverse white lights are fantastic.

I also had to deal with their customer service over an order issue, and they were very easy and accommodating. They wound up sending me some free bulbs without asking. I guess I have some spares now, though I haven't needed them despite the "dire" warning above.

I also went with Lasfit.

At the time of doing my due diligence, it seemed it was the best 'blub' to use. Having bought the package set for all the exterior lights, I have to say check your package to make sure you got all the different bulbs. I was fortunate that Lasfit customer service sent me a missing set after opening the package 3 months after delivery,when I got my Mav. Kuddos.

Haven't revisited any lighting issues since I bought and installed it.

I put the Sylvania LED bulbs in place of the cargo light bulbs and these work fine. haven't replaced the third brake light bulb as of yet. also I ordered last bulbs for my rear and back up lamps and haven't had any issues so far. has anyone tried the bulbs available from F150leds.com?

Sometimes simple goals turn into nightmares. I wanted to upgrade the 3rd brake, cargo and reverse bulbs to brighter LED bulbs. After a great deal of research, I ordered five "GTR" bulbs from a distributor named Headlight Revolution at a cost of $161.00 with free shipping. Upon ttempting to install the bulbs I discovered that the 3rd brake light and cargo bulbs literally did not fit in the housing as they are too long. Keep in mind that Headlight Revolution determined that these were the bulbs that fit the 2023 Mav. Next, I discovered that the reverse light bulbs did not work. The installation is not rocket science so I was confident it was not operator error. When I contacted Headlight Revolution they at first refused to take them back. After a few emails where I cut and pasted their return policy, they agreed to take them back but refused to pay for the
shipping. It was not until my bank charged them back for the purchase did they finally agree to pay for the return shipping. What is remarkable is that their web site still shows that these bulbs fit the 2023 Maverick. They don't!

My second choice for these LEDs was Diode Dynamics bulbs purchased ($175) via a company called Panda Motorworks. I immediately became concerned when after a few days of placing the order and having my credit card charged, I had not received a tracking number. I returned to the web site and after two days of trying "Live Chat" (not really Live), emails and phone calls (no live person, only voicemail. In the final voicemail I cancelled the order) I once again contacted my bank and they removed the charge. One day after my back contacted Panda Motorworks, they shipped the order. When I emailed them, they claimed that they
were on vacation the entire time. A quick Google search showed that there have been numerous complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau with the exact same experience I have described. They must go on a lot of vacations. I received the bulbs I had cancelled and I have informed Panda Motorworks that if they want them back they will need to send me an RMA# and a pre-paid shipping label. They have not replied. (They must be on vacation again) My bank has assured me that the $175 charge will not appear on my account.

I finally had to settle for Lasfit bulbs which I am not a big fan of but at least they are better than the stock halogen. Lasfit does not have a "red" 3rd brake light
bulb like GTR or Diode Dymanics so my search goes on.
