2017 Expedition OEM LED Tail Lights

[chuck s]

3d brake light and fogs are LEDs from the factory on my '17. You can get LEDs that won't hyperflash as they have some resistor or something in them; my aftermarket high beam bulbs are that type. I avoid LEDs at the rear since I tow a trailer from time to time and the Ford brake controller might be confused by them.

I did put extra bright LEDs in the backup light housings of both my cars to help getting into my driveway. No flashing on that circuit.

So I just put in some Nuvision LEDs for both the high and low beams. They look great, no hyper flash, etc. We’ll see how long they last, but so far so good.

Fogs yes, but LED 3rd brake light, you sure about that? That housing itself goes back to the 2001 Escape. I've bought and tossed more than a few aftermarket LED 3rd brake lights, they are nowhere near as bright as my aftermarket LED tail light housings.

Hyper flash generally refers to the turn signal circuit.

Fair point on the hyper flash. . .

Now I'm not sure my high brake light is LED.

There may be two versions of the 3d brake light:

Central High-mounted Brake Lamp Bulb
1. Switch all of the lamps and the ignition off.
2. Remove the retaining bolts from the lamp assembly.
3. Remove the lamp and unclip the bulb holder.
4. Remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

LED Central High-mounted Brake Lamp Bulb (If Equipped)
These lamps have LED bulbs. Contact an authorized dealer.

A bunch of the guys got this for an LED 3rd brake light.

Says it won’t fit on Amazon, but most definitely does. 2017 XLT here.

What’s the big deal of keeping lights the same for years knowing led is more effective in every way

"Good enough" trumps "more effective" most days if cost is involved.
