Can someone help ROCOB?

I am not sure what to tell him. He's trying to replace his reverse backup based on my article yet his bulb is WAY different. Looks like he has a 2011 SHO.


ROCOB

Geswek thanks for the help.

I have searched our site, many others, and the web and found conflicting info, including this video.

http://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2011_Ford_Taurus_SHO_3.5L_V6_Turbo/lights/reverse_light     

step 2   at 41 seconds shows my assembly, then at 43 seconds it shows a totally different one

I'll keep digging.

The bad news is that no one makes an LED replacement for the 10-12 reverse bulbs.

I believe those bulbs were used in Camaros (PH16W?), but little else.  Not sure there is a Txx base replacement.

EDIT:  Found this listing on Amazon:

Hey geswek, I realize that I am digging up an old thread, but decided to trade the 2011 for a 2013 so the bulbs would fit :-)

Yeah, I am not doing that LOL.

My wife and I bought an extended warranty and don't plan on any major mods to it.
