Ford Super Duty LED license plate lighting: 2400 lumens instead of a yellow glow
On a truck the size of a Super Duty, the rear is wide and the factory lighting always seems a bit weak. This pair of LED modules directly replaces the factory units and delivers 2400 lumens of pure white light on the license plate. The difference is immediate: the plate stands out clearly in the dark, the lower tailgate is illuminated instead of just grazed by light, and the Ford Super Duty license plate lighting stops being the detail that betrays the vehicle's age.
Designed for 2017 to 2022 F-250, F-350 and F-450 models
This is not a bulb to slip into an existing socket, but the complete module: housing, seal, lens and connector. The manufacturer states that it replaces the original part numbers HC3Z-13550-A, HC3Z-13550-B, HC3Z-13550-C and HC3Z-13550-D, covering the F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty and F-450 Super Duty produced between 2017 and 2022. Replacing the entire housing solves water ingress and oxidized contacts at the same time, two classic failures in this area exposed to road spray.
The neutral white finish matches the LED optics of recent models. You can choose the version supplied with an adapter if your wiring harness does not match exactly, or the basic version if you are reconnecting to the original connector.
ABS housing, PC lens and Canbus circuit: what holds up outdoors
The housing is made of thick ABS and the lens of polycarbonate, a combination of materials chosen to withstand gravel spray and high-pressure washing without yellowing. The assembly is stated to be waterproof, with a lifespan of over 50,000 hours. The integrated error-free Canbus circuit prevents the defective bulb message on the instrument panel, without the need for an external resistor to strap behind the bumper.

Replacing the license plate modules on a Super Duty
The operation is done from the outside, without removing the bumper. Squeeze the original module from the side to release the clip, pull it toward you, disconnect, plug in the LED module, then clip it back in until it clicks. Allow five minutes for both sides. If your connector does not match, the version with an adapter avoids any wire cutting. Installing LED license plate lighting requires neither a diagnostic tool nor coding.
Should you choose the version with or without an adapter?
That is the only real question to decide before ordering. Look at the connector on your current module: if it matches the socket of the new housing directly, the basic version is sufficient and costs less. If your truck has already received a different wiring harness, or if you are unsure, the version with an adapter will save you a return trip. In both cases, the lighting part is identical and provides the same 2400 lumens.
Ford lighting, a field we follow closely
At Becquet Voiture, LED license plate lighting modules are selected primarily by their OEM part number: it is the only criterion that guarantees the part will actually fit into the original housing. Our French-speaking team will check your part number with you if you communicate it to us before ordering.
Give the rear of your Super Duty clear lighting again: order your pair of LED modules.
