I have in previous vehicles, I used to shop with Diode Dynamics all the time and change out as many as I could. Will have to see what comes w/ the Lariat trim, but it looks like they are all size W5W 5watt

I'm assuming it's a 194/158. I've used these from DD a couple of times. HP3 vs HP5. I don't want too bright.

Yes, those should be it. HP5 if you want brighter and HP3 for not too bright. I used similarly to HP5 for interior lights in a Subaru Forester in the back and they worked great and a dimmer set up front. It's all what taste you have and what the function will be for. I use 4000-5000K too. They were great w/ customer service too and I traded some in for different brightness.

I like going with 5K. I don't like the blue tint of higher K LEDs.
Hard finding 5K. DD and VLEDS have 5000K.

From what I have seen it looks like the lariat comes with halogen license plate likes, but I could be mistaken. What brightness would be good for plate likes? HP5 vs HP3. I plan on adding this to my growing list of mods!

Depends on taste. I'll go with the 55 lumen HP3 over the 92 lumen HP5. I don't want too bright.

Yeah definitely don't need it blinding. I just didn't know if the 55 was bright enough, etc. Thanks!

Stock bulbs are 24 lumens (if 194 bulbs) I'm looking more for white vs bright.

It takes longer to bend over.
Simply twist and pull the light out of the housing, swap the bulb and stick it back in and twist to lock it back in place.
I also swapped the front fender markers to LED, but you really can't tell. Makes no difference visually.

Yep, very easy. Just did it 10 minutes ago. A minute or so on each side.
I found I had a pair of these 5K VLEDS bulbs from a previous vehicle install.
As you know, the bulb set up is straight up.LED glows sideways into the lens. Will see how they look at night later.

I don't know if I'll bother changing the side markers. Maybe the bed lights to LED.

Yes they are 194 bulbs.
I swapped every bulb that wasn't LED to LED when I got my Ranger. I cannot stand non LED...Especially since with the 302A package, the entire rear tail lights are LED.
