I went with the HP36 which I think are plenty bright to light up the bed. I hard the XP50 where not noticeably brighter for the additional cost.

CHMSL / Third Brake Light LEDs

I got the HP36 and they are plenty bright. I can't see spending double for more when these light up everything behind you.

Another HP36 vote. These are plenty bright for me (and noticeably brighter than stock).

The Diode Dynamics HP36 were $40, not $90, and they'll still be working in a year. Good luck with "Auxito".

$40.00 for the (210 lumens) $90.00 for the (410 lumens)
*The Auxito LEDs I purchased over a year ago and had them in my 2014 F-150 as reverse lights and now the same pair are still kicking strong in my 3rd break light on my Ram.

Reverse lights usually aren't used for more than a few seconds at a time. Look at the one-star reviews on Amazon (many have pictures or video). There's a good chance that when used as cargo lights, they're going to quit working completely, dim significantly, turn into strobe lights, or set themselves on fire. They're garbage. I'm all for saving money, but I'll only put things on my truck that are OEM-quality or better. Not even the cheapest 3rd-world auto manufacturer would ever install those on a vehicle. But seriously, good luck. I hope it's only a $14 lesson, and not a comp claim for a fire.

I’m still using the bulbs recommended by @firecadet613 way back at the beginning of this thread. No issues since September (...knock on wood).
Paint Protection Film. Clear film over the painted areas to significantly reduce chips/scratches.

Awesome thread here, thank you for the information! I noticed yesterday at the dealer, when he opened the door, that the bed cargo lights looked like halogen. This just confirmed that curiosity for me. Will definitely be upgrading to the Diode Dynamics bulbs soon!

True about the auxito, they burnt up in mine. Just not quality enough for the cargo lights that stay on for a longer period of time. The Diode Dynamics have been great. I guess I will buy one for my center brake light now.

I bought these back in Feb and they are still working fine, I think the proper spacing of the Diodes makes these more long term reliable. As a follow up are yours still working with no issues (Neurobit and Kingkasc?)

Yep. No issues whatsoever. Best $8 I’ve spent in a long time...

Had anyone tried bulbs from superbrightleds? I’ve used them a long time ago but not in a vehicle with the light out warning.

I wanted to update this post since the brake LED quit working. I no longer recommend the part listed above.
I'm going to give this one a try: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QMH9HYJ

I did the Diode Dynamics for the cargo and third brake lights. The cargos were $40 and the third brake was $10. They had a 20% off deal going on for the 4th of July so I got all 3 for $40. Well worth it.

I wanted a strobing 3rd brake light and Diode Dynamics doesn't list one for my truck.
