Exterior Light Bulb Replacement

[MT19RANGER]

Trying to understand this. There are two turn signals lamps on eacg side. PLUS the mirror lamps.

I know changing turn signals will cause hyper flashing. If we change ONLY the bulbs in the mirror with 194s. will hyper flashing still be an issue inside the vehicle?

Hyper-blink will only happen when all bulbs have been changed to LED in the turn signal circuit. As stated before the hyper-blink doesn't show on the bulbs, they blink normal, the hyper blink is experienced on the dash in the vehicle. No hyper blink when changing only the two in the mirrors (one in each mirror (amber) the other light in the mirror is on the bottom called a puddle light).

Turn your hazard flashers on and see which bulbs are a part of the turn signal circuit. For the Lariat, there are two up front in the grill/headlight area that is regular bulbs (Front park/direction indicator bulb 7444NA (AMBER)). Then the two bulbs in the mirror and the LED in the tail light (which is all 100% LED already from the factory) If you change out only the mirror ones then there are still two bulbs up front that will offer the resistance in the circuit to not cause hyper-blink.

Thank you for the time you put into that response. I understand it now. I am only replacing the bulbs in the mirror assembly

No problem, we're here to help. This has been such a great forum for all to make the changes to our new Rangers no matter how small or big of a change, it's just what each person feels comfortable in doing.

woke this thread up as some are looking to see what lights to replace.

That would be great to know

If not we are planing on doing a plug and play resistor.

Side note
we noticed with no resistor it didnt hyper blink outside the truck just inside on the dash which we thought was odd.

Thank you

I'm looking to make my Lariat all LED, do you guys have any word on the plug and play resistor?

I've decided to go the forscan route instead, so no need for resistors anymore

Does anyone notice a slight power draw from any of the bulbs swapped over to LED? My wife's 2017 Escape the license plate would stay very very very dimly lit until 10 minutes after being off/locked.

I haven't noticed any.

Here is what my cargo/3rd brake light looks like. These must be LED already, no?

That’s interesting, what’s the build date on your truck? I’m wondering if they’ve updated them to LED

Early. Built in January.

Is it a Lariat? I can’t see them using a completely different design on the 3rd brake. Maybe someone can chime in who knows better

 

[Ranger's My Middle Name]

Yeah it is. Maybe that's why??

 

[HenryMac]

I decided I wanted LED’s and since I couldn’t find any info online I thought I’d share my findings.

Thanks for posting this, very helpful.

Lariats have LED 3rd brake lights already. AFAIK, the only incandescent bulbs in the Lariat are side markers (including side mirror indicators) and license plate bulbs.
