    I was just looking at V-led yesterday at the switchbacks and also to replace the dome lights with leds. They were out of stock with the switchbacks so I am waiting.

    Probably should get tow mirrors first.

    I see you can't order them now, but sometimes you can order stuff when it is backordered and still use the coupons

    Im gonna pull a noob question here and ask: will switchbacks work for a 97-03 just plug and play? Im slowly gonna switch all of my lights from regular bulbs to LEDs, my A/C lights all went out so ill be replacing them all.

    Ive heard that you have to wire in some resistors or something before the LED or something....what do yall got?

    with some bulbs you do have to wire in a resistor, v-leds has that also you can buy. It really depends on the manufacture of the bulb and how many LED's are on it.

    Well Lee has them and they work fine. I don't see Ford changing much between the lighting of the 97-03 model versus the 04-08 model other than the housing.

    your bulb type is the same 3157, so I think you will be ok.

    I doubt it, I don't think Lee use any resistors
