Here is a short list I made while replacing the lights on my 1967 F100 with leds. I hope some of you find it usefull!
LITTLE TIP! To help get as much light out of my new bulbs as possible, I covered the inside of the housings behind the bulbs in reflective tape used on trailers.
Location X Needed bulbs.........................Part#.....(LED equivalent)
Headlights X2.........................................H6024 (7" round headlights) I used the Truk-lite LED headlights, but any 7" headlight with an H4 bulb will also work
Front signal/marker lights X2.......................1157 (1157 LED) Use an AMBER LED bulb, the more LEDs the better. Bulb height should be 1.80" or shorter
Brake/tail light X2....................................1157 (1157 LED) Use a RED LED bulb only! I originally bought white hoping they would be brighter, but they are not.
Reverse light X2......................................1156 (1156 LED) White LED
Interior light X1.......................................1003 (BA15S LED or #67 LED) I ended up building my own dome lights, and added some more along the headliner
Dash lights X7.........................................1895 (BA9 LED) I used 2 GREEN for the signals, 5 white for the rest of the gauges. Make sure they throw light in all directions or you'll have tiny spots
New lenses will help get the most from your new lights too, so if that's in your budget I recommend it. You will also need an LED flasher for the lights to blink properly.
If I remember anything else I'll add it!
