Halogens on Platinum

[benyl]

are these the only halogens left on the Plat?

1. Puddle lamps
2. License plate lights
3. Reverse lights

Anything else? Going to order some Led replacements.

I think so, although I was pretty sure the reverse lights were already LEDs. Shows you what I know.

Post up what you order. A good LED puddle is worth their weight in gold. I replaced them on my Raptor and was pleasantly surprised on how much brighter they were.

Reverse lights are LED. I have replaced my License Plate and Puddle lights with LED's and it makes a world of difference. It is a must do upgrade. Pretty cheap too. I believe all in I spend about $50-$60. Install is very simple and took all of about 10 minutes.

I ordered the drive bright package that has the puddles and license plate lights.

Did you order separate ones because the drive brights suck?

I ordered them separately only because I ordered the License Plate ones first and Headlight Revolution didn't have Puddle Lights. Then a week or so later I ordered the puddle lights.

Thanks for the links.
Seems that neither site has both.
Ther puddles are $46 +$9 shipping. Sounds like you got a good deal.

I ordered the puddle lights from Drivebright and the license plate lights were included free of charge.

Just curious about the LED puddle lamps. Is there a particular reason that so many choose those from Brightlites vs the ones that are available on Amazon from Lightdu, MallofUSA, iJDMTOY, moforkit or others? All are significantly less costly than the ones from Brightlites.

 

[benyl]

When I looked, most were $20-$30. The License plate lights are $20 bucks. so cost was about the same for the small searching I did. There are also plenty of photos on this forum and I liked what I saw.

Are these the same bulbs? 194 - 10 pack for $9.99

I went the Brightlites route because folks on here had used them and were pleased. And I am a bigger fan than anyone of Amazon, but in this case, I liked that Brightlites was a company I could pick up the phone and call if the bulbs didn’t work, didn’t fit, shorted out and turned my Expi into a Ferrari, etc.

And as far as cost goes, I didn’t spend the better part of $100 grand to turn around and save $20 on what will likely be the only “mod” I undertake.

Thanks for info - just ordered as wel

FYI... IMO the License Plate LED's that they throw in are about worth as much as you pay for them... Give them a try and see what you think... My puddle lights came with those LED's for the License Plate and they were about 1/2 as bright as the one's that I ordered from Headhlight Revolution.

Brightlites was recommended on the F150 forums as well as the Explorer forums. That is why I ordered mine from them.

Are they white?

I’m more interested in color temp than brightness. Cops don’t need to be able to read my plate at night [emoji6]

Haha, that’s what I was thinking! Why would anyone want to shine their license plate brighter?? I want those speed cameras to have to work harder, lol.

True.
But ay least on the expy, the light is facing down, so it is proving a bit more light towards the ground. Kinda like the puddle lights do.
