2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty Bulb Sizes Guide

Quick Reference: 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty Bulb Sizes

The 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty, a workhorse of a truck, primarily came equipped with halogen lighting from the factory across most trim levels. However, as is common with many modern vehicles, higher trim levels or specific option packages may have included upgraded lighting options, such as factory-installed HID (High-Intensity Discharge) headlights or even rudimentary LED elements for certain functions. It's crucial to check your specific vehicle's configuration if you suspect it deviates from the common halogen setup.

For the vast majority of 2016 F-350 Super Duty models, both the low beam and high beam headlights utilize an H13 halogen bulb. Fog lights typically employ an H10 bulb. Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) on many models share the front turn signal bulb, which is commonly a 3157 or 4157NA (amber) depending on the exact configuration and region. For the rear, the turn signals, brake lights, and tail lights often use a 3157 bulb, making replacements straightforward. Reverse lights also typically use a 3157. Smaller bulbs like the license plate lights and side markers commonly use a 194 bulb. Interior dome lights often utilize a 578 festoon bulb, while map lights typically use a 194.

LED bulbs draw significantly less power than their halogen counterparts, which can trick the CANBUS system into thinking there's a bulb out, triggering a
