One of my backup LED bulbs blew, but the supplier I used has no more in stock. Is there another supplier with the correct bulbs out there?

As it happens I just bought some LED backup bulbs and installed them last week. Purchased on Amazon : Alla Lighting Part # STR-2835-7443-39W .
Works Great ! $ 21.00 US shipped. Strobe works for a split second instantly as you put the truck in reverse. Nice feature. Had to reverse truck up to shop window to see the strobe feature as it happens quickly before solid reverse light appears

I had no idea there were ones that had a momentary strobe effect. If mine go out, I'll consider getting those for the safety factor. As it stands, this is what I have installed. I like them particularly for lighting up the back when I'm reversing at night and looking at the camera image, much brighter than stock though of course not headlights bright.

Fun fact, when I changed mine, the left lens bottom screw plate fell out of the assembly into the rear bumper... thankfully I could reach it through the gap, but I didn't think I'd encounter that kind of issue that night.
The lenses are on there tight so be careful to remove them horizontally from the bodywork . I used some rubber gloves for grip
Amazon....I've used them for my LED Headlights, Backup Lights and ALL of the other courtesy lights (all the same p/n).
Ah, yes and thanks. Anyone know if its best to replace the brake light bulb with White or Red LED bulbs ?
Assuming that by brake you mean turn signal, I went with and recommend red, as well as high lumen output. People tend not to notice red on red (turn signal with brake light), so I made sure the bulbs were as bright as possible to stand out from the brake lights. The result is that my turn signals outshine my brake lights by a small degree, which means there's no way someone can miss them flashing.
You can use white if you want, just know it might shine as a lighter red/dark pinkish color depending on the lumen output and bulb type.

These are what I used, from VLEDs, but they are expensive. Very bright though, which is why I got them.

From my experience, if you don't have LED front turn signals, the current version I linked don't need them. However, if you use LEDs for front and rear turn signals, you'll need resistors for either both rear or both front turn signals. I installed them on the front as it has much more room. The back is a tight fit even without the resistors.
Edit: attached is a cropped screenshot showing the bulbs not needing resistors, unless like I mentioned you have LED front signals

I have mine installed without the hyperflash fix, so it should work in yours too IF you don't have LEDs installed in your front turn signals - if you do, install hyperflash fix/resistors on the front turn signals (if you haven't already), as the rear ones are harder to fit additional equipment.
Cheers, no LED's for the front turn signals yet. Good to know there's room behind the rear lights for the VLEDS
