Switch to LED Tail Lights
I wanted to change the corner lights due to a couple of cracks in them. I ended up changing them all. Thanks Country Coach for putting 18 tail lights on the back. LOL. I'm still waiting for the corner...

Check one thing on the Ford, though - VERY important! The torque converter is unlocked by the power draw in the brake light circuit when you stop. LED lights don't draw enough power to make it unlock and it can burn up a transmission. Simple solution is to add one incandescent bulb somewhere in the circuit and wrap it in electrical tape to hide the glow.
Well now isn't this interesting?
Lately, I've noticed that when I turn on my blinker to change lanes at highway speeds, the torque converter unlocks. It's been bothering me for months as to why in the world this happens. I guess I now have my answer. Yes, I'm on a Ford F53 chassis. Who knew?!
