Reverse and License plate lights
Hey everyone, I have the 2019 and ive heard LED reverse lights wont work correctly? So I cant just drop in a 7440 LED replacment? Should I go for a halogen instead? I dont care for them to be much brighter but rather more white than they are. EDIT* Can I get an LED with a built in resistor or a "Error Free" LED?
For the license plate lights, can I drop in some LED replacments? If so, which ones? I want BRIGHT! The reason being, i have a tinted plate which looks SO good, but live in a small town and got pulled over yesterday by the only cop here who cares. He said the only reason was because it would be hard to see at night. So I want to make it not even look tinted at night. (Also thinking of throwing an LED strip in the cover but thats a different project) TLDR - What drop in replacement lights can I get for a 2019?

Phastek and Dyode Dynamics have a kit as well for a reverse bulb setup. For the licence plate and trunk I bought Phillips led bulbs

I just found some good LEDs for the license plate. The 2019 has an issue with using LEDs for back up lights and those kits are for 2016-2019 im pretty sure. I saw Gen5DIY had a kit but you had to remove the rear bumper for it and thats just not worth it to me, ill just find some more white colored bulbs.

I ordered those LEDs for reverse light and license plate on Amazon, and found the same halogen bulbs I was going to order at multiple nearby stores for the same price so... in case they dont work, ill pick up those bulbs on my way to return the LEDs.

That's works. So how you liking the car so far? I myself came from a 2016 Mustang V6 to this car. Other than the damn shudder issue, and a crappy headliner, I like this V6 a lot better than the Mustang

I went with these Nokya 7440 27w bulbs for my reverse lights. Brighter than stock and got rid of the yellow tint.
The plate lights are $10 LED's from JW Motoring. Work great also. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOKYA-7440-...72.m2749.l2649
