craigjohnson1218 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi guys, New 2010 SHO owner and new to the forums. So far, I LOVE this car and couldn't be happier with my purchase! I was recommended to this forum by TCCA. I would like to replace my rear incandescent bulbs (tail, stop, turn signal, and reverse) with LEDs. I've been searching the forums and haven't found anything related to this. Any suggestions? Has anyone had success doing this? If so, do you have any recommendations on which type of LED bulbs I should buy? I am just looking to replace the bulbs and not the assemblies. Thanks in advance!:RpS_biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Welcome aboard EBOF :welcome: Glad to have you as part of our cool little, but ever expanding, Ecoboost community. :thumb: Enjoy all the info posted here thus far, and please contribute where ever you can....... The two links provided will get you started as far as the LED's you're desiring to incorporate into vehicle. There is one other thread on retro fitting the tail lights, but it involves baking, gutting open the tail assemblies, and installing the LED's, then reassembling them. Sounds more involved than what your looking to do (simple bulb replacement) but there are various companies out there, that may be able to help you out if you're looking to maybe perhaps pioneer this mod, and blaze trails for the rest of your fellow Ecoboost owners to follow..... Check out any of the following -------> http://www.automotivelightstore.com/home.aspx http://www.superbrightleds.com/ http://autolumination.com/ Good luck, and report back with any updates. Thanks!

craigjohnson1218 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi 83racecrew, Did you convert your rear lights (turn signals, stop/brake lights) to LED? Did you have to use any load resistors? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83racecrew Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have a '13, my brake lights and turn signals are already LED. I did put LED bulbs reverse lights. No load resistor there. The only load resistors you may need would be for the turn signals. The other option is to replace the flasher unit (if the '10 has one) with an LED friendly unit. My '13 doesn't have a flasher, the smart junction box takes care of alternating the turn signals. The Taurus doesn't have a "bulb out" warning system, so no load resistors on the marker, brake, and reverse lights should be necessary.
