If you own a 2015–2020 Ford F150 and your gear selector lacks backlighting, you are not alone. Ford removed the illuminated gear shifter feature from trucks built after January 17, 2018, leaving many owners in the dark, and it takes away from the overall interior look.

I installed the F150LEDs Gear Selector RGB LED Lighting Kit on my 2018 Ford F150 to solve the problem. This plug-and-play kit restores the missing backlighting plus adds full RGB color control, brightness adjustment, and smooth lighting sequences. The remote control allows you to choose from a wide range of colors, set static or sequence modes, and even store your favorite settings for next time.

The installation is quick and straightforward. Remove the gear selector panel with basic tools, plug in the LED strip, reassemble the panel, and run the power to the fusebox in the passenger footwell. The difference is immediate. At night, the gear shifter area is brightly lit, and during the day it adds a clean, modern look that makes the interior feel more premium. The RGB customization lets you match the gear shifter lighting to your dashboard, footwell LEDs, or even your mood.

For anyone looking for an easy F150 interior mod that makes a big impact, the F150LEDs Gear Selector RGB LED Lighting Kit is a perfect choice. It restores a factory feature Ford should have never removed while adding new customization options that make your truck stand out.
