    I have a 2016 and had a quick question about brake lights. I plan on upgrading my halogens rear bulbs with LEDs. I know LEDs draw less power than halogens but is there a warning light that will come on saying my brake light is off? I know I will need a resistor with the turn signal but wasn’t sure about the actually brake light.

    Well I know the quality of the VLEDS products are the best out there but after all the mods I put on my truck my budget wasn’t that high. I went with SuperBrightLeds because I have read on here they were the next best or close to it. Plus they are within the state were I live so great to support local businesses :)

    Oh and don’t worry I made sure they were CK socket :)

    I've used SBLEDs a handful of times and they always work perfect.

    It's plug and play! No resistors or anything of that nature. :thumbsup:

    I just went to their site and entered my truck’s information and it brings up all the bulbs that fit your truck. After that it just your preference.

    Another reason I went with them is because I ordered the wrong bulbs for my visors and they accepted my return no problems at all. Got my money back within a few days. Just gotta follow their return procedures.
