Why not make every light LED??

I think we can all agree, the answer to the OP's question is...

42.

So are you guys just using 194 led's for the license plate light, or actually finding the w5w's?

i broke the damn tab for the license plate lights, need to figure how to still pop it off - what a terrible design

Yes, I put in a couple of 194 base led bulbs. As long as they have a ‘circular’ arrangement, rather than just a top led, they work fine. The housings have the bulbs facing in the same direction on both sides of the plate.

yep, times 150,000+/- units since 2018. its only 4.5 million dollars!!!!

and with UAW labor in corrupt Chicago, it was probably $10 million

As addressed, it comes down to cost. The Navigator is 100% LED and this will trickle down in the coming years.

i noticed the new styled Navs DRLs are dotted lights, compared to the Expedition where it looks like one smooth LED? Is that the other pre- 2018 version?

Great discussion all! This looks like a project I might tackle. Thanks again!
