From Halogen to LED - All taillights replacement options

[mooNy]

Forscan isn't an issue as I've messed with that for a number of things already.

When you say it blinks red, do you mean the "clear" portion that would blink amber is the part that blinks red? Or is it the brake light portion just goes from solid to blinking? Like it basically did on all the older Broncos as they never had the amber turn signals.

The outer brake light blinks red, the inner part that is amber does nothing

I like the style of the OEM Halogens and decided to replace the bulbs. They are nice and bright and did not break the bank!

I do not care for the flush mount look from Oracle, and was looking closely at the Quake lights, but they look kind of orange and cheap when lit up in the pics. Not sure you will find any lights that are not made in China.

treu,

they do look great, I had the smoked version on my Charcoal grey and loved the look of it, no Forscan but the right side wasn't working well. I deceided to go OEM instead

Gus, when you use the turn signals, is the turn signal 'clicking' sound rapid or is it the normal speed?

Just to clarify, you're running OEM Signature LED tail lights on your Halogen equipment truck?

I'm sure this happens to many of us here. We are looking for something specific for our Bronco and we come across other "good" options but not quite what we are looking for. I'm still doing that search but I figured I start a thread with what I have found so far in case that is valuable for someone else in this forum. While I absolutely love my BD for many reasons, I think the OEM LED Taillights is the missing piece. I see many Broncos out there and, especially driving at night, I'm reminded that my car is missing something.

What I'm looking for
If Ford's OEM LED Taillights would have been compatible, I would have bought them a long time ago. I'm looking to replace my halogens for:
1) OEM LED taillights that look just like factory but from a high quality/known brand or
2) non-OEM LED taillights that would look like a decent replacement, also from a high quality/known brand.

What I found so far (edited 3/14/24/)
I'm only listing the LED replacement options that are compatible with halogens. Splitting into all styles (no specific order):

OEM-style

1. Lumen8 Smoked LED Taillights from Buckle Up Off Road (probably China), $500
2. Mabett LED Smoked Taillights from Mabett/Amazon (probably China), $350
3. VLAND LED Taillights from VLAND (probably China), $300

Raptor-style

1. Mabett Raptor Style LED Taillights from Mabett/Amazon (probably China), $330
2. Raptor Full LED Taillights from Led Factory Mart (probably China). $430

Non-OEM style

1. Flush Red or Tinted LED Taillights by Oracle (USA), $470
2. LED Taillights with Black Housings from CJ Pony Parts (China? USA?), $560
3. High-Powered OLED Bar Style Clear or Smoked Taillightsfrom Recon (China? USA?), $800
   • Also sold by Lethal, $800
4. LED Sequential Taillightsby Quake LED (China? USA?), $440
   • Also sold by Sticker Fab, $300

I'm committed to keep this list updated if any of you have any other suggestions or if some of the info is wrong. Price is for reference, I'm not updating price but happy to link other sites that also sells them. I'm sure this will help the next person looking for this. Also, if you have any reviews about any of these products, let's hear them too.

I've been here, and tried several, including the Mabett, which didn't quite work as expected, plus the right side didn't sit properly. 2 others were also chinese made. I ended up with OEM LED's - and work fine, except for the fact that no Amber turning light. only red, and i am ok with that. don't like the the lighting set up of the Oracle

I don't mind the stock lights now that I'm used top them. Went with F150LED Stop/Turn/Tail and Backup LED's. They are night-and-day (pun intended) brighter than stock. Will hook up the backup to Aux 6 with a magic harness. Just need to get under the dash and hood tomorrow for the hookup.

Dummy me, the one thing I did not think about and replace was the Halogen reverse bulbs. Will have to do that one of these days. Hate that I will have to take them apart again, the plastic panel below the taillight on the right side broke lose from the mounting bracket on taillight for the passenger side. Used some construction adhesive and it has been holding together fine. Just hope no more issues when I take them back off!

It is well worth it. I decided to wire them in this evening and works as advertised.

What can you tell me about swapping OEM Halogen over to OEM LED? Nothing aftermarket.

 

[GusVG]

Gus, when you use the turn signals, is the turn signal 'clicking' sound rapid or is it the normal speed?

Just to clarify, you're running OEM Signature LED tail lights on your Halogen equipment truck?

it did at first, but I made a change via forscan and removed that fast clicking sound

 

[Umichigan1]

I had the exact same issue, with Mabbet and another aftermarket off Ebay. I purchased some take off OEM's - did a mod via forscan and now both work as they should

Can you be specific regarding the Forscan modification?

its normal speed now, after a forscan mod, and yes I have OEM LED's

 

[GusVG]

I disabled left and Rear Turn lamp outage, individually in the BCM modules. the only thing this did was stop the fast clickering of the turn signals. my turn signals are flashing red, not Amber

 

[Bobio]

I've got a stupid question, I've read this thread and a few others and even tried to find videos, but I can't find if I can replace my OEM LED reverse with a brighter option. I've read how to turn the halogens into brighter LED and even replace the whole unit, but no replacement unless I buy a seperate unit to mount to bumper and wire to the backup lights. Can I just buy a brighter LED and plug in like a Halogen? THx

Nevermind I think I found the answer. It's a sealed unit and I guess in the future if a light goes out you replace the whole thing. That's going to get pricy
