I'm looking to replace my plate bulbs with LED's, a white color. Anyone know what bulbs are best and where to get? I'm not sure if I need Canbus or not, I also don't want them so bright they light up the whole back of the truck.

page 187 of owners manual has the part numbers (ie: # 194)
the number in your owners manual will be the type of bulb required to swap them out.

i used a local website (kijiji) and found a guy that sells them. took 5 minutes to install. looks wonderful.

all you have to do is google "led bulb 194" and you'll find tons of websites that offer them (im in canada, where they want 2x the bulb price to ship it)

I'm getting a bulb out message with the led

You will need to put a resistor on it.

I just have regular LEDs off of eBay and no issues. Just don't buy long ones because there is not much that space. Below 1" length be best.

Can you buy somewhere with resistor already on it?

I bought some led bulbs on eBay and put them in the for the plate and reverse lights and got bulb out errors on both.
I then got 10 led bulbs off eBay with the resistors built in that said error free. I put them in the license plate, reverse and center brake light. The bulb out error went away for the plate but now have bulb out on reverse and oddly it says right brake light out. Some day I'll solder in a resistor. I also replaced all the interior lights with led and it looks way better.

I had the light out warning with first led lights I bought. The solution for me was to buy the Canbus 194 LEDs off of superbrightleds and now no light out messages. Look for a discount code for them on here.

Interesting. This is something I'd like to do when my bulbs go out and I replace them anyway.
