LED Trailer Light Conversion On 2016 Ford F-250
Question:
If I change out my incandescent 5th wheel brake lights to Bargman will my 2016 F250 have a problem with that? If I have to install a resistor, does it go on the truck or the trailer?

Expert Reply:
It is very unlikely that you will need resistors part # DI34ZR when switching over to LED trailer lights because Ford changed their wiring in 2015 that caused several problems including the ones people would have after switching over to LED lights.
The best thing to do is install the LED lights first and if you have issues like hyper flashing then you would need the resistors however, it doesn't seem to be an issue anymore because LED draw so little power compared to incandescent. The resistors will install on the truck if you do need them.
