They sent the some wrong bulbs and the 3157's they sent for the brake light/tail light only light up as a tail light ...no brake light up  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

They are probably going by the standard Taurus recommendations?

Pg 70 of the 2010 OG also provides bulb specs.

Maybe the sockets are too deep, or polarity is reversed.  Compare the original to the LEDs if about the same size dimensionally at the base, try flipping the bulb in the socket.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Back up bulbs on my car are actually HPC-16w ...which I am now sure there is now LED version and when I flip the 3157 bulbs in he socket I end up with no light up at all
