Are your front turn signals LED? I'm not familiar with the 2016. According to Superbrightled.com you have the same size bulb that I'm using 7444NA or 7440 (both will work)

I installed a set on the rear last night. I wanted to test the brightness and make sure there were no issues with hyper flash before getting another set. I'm happy with them.
My other option was to go with the V3 Triton; but was hesitant about spending that much on turn signals.

I expect my bulbs to arrive by the end of the week and I'll do another DIY for the front turn signals.

Excellent DIY instructional post! Thank you!
I bought a couple pair of cheapo off ebay just to get a feel for it before committing to more expensive bulb and cheapo works great at $3.50 for pair.
I didn't use any tools to remove the liner, just pulled gently near the pressure points with hands and came off easily without damaging the plastic pins.
Someone asked about heat, not much heat from LED. In fact, the factory bulbs puts out more heat, burned my finger a bit when on for 1 minute (to see light output between factory vs LED).

Sorry for the late respond.
No issues with the lens and no heat spots.
Also keep in mind you dont use your reverse light for a long time meaning chances of heating up causing damage is very less. Been using those bulbs for 1-2 months now no issues at all and its super strong and nice. You wont be disappointed.

Happen to have a link to the bulbs you installed?
I find it hard at night to get a good look in my camera or side mirrors because of window tint.

I have 5% tint on all the windows and still need to roll my windows down at times.

Sorry on the delay but here is the exact link to the ones I purchased.

i bought this philips 921 LED for my backup lights:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I3OTWQ2...ing=UTF8&psc=1
I do NOT recommend it. The fit is actually VERY snug. I think I'll have trouble taking it out when the bulbs burns out. It does say it'll last 12 years. My car is a lease, so I don't really care as long as it doesn't burn out in 3 years.
Brightness? I would say it's par with the stock. It looks brighter, but on the ground, not much difference.

Just put the LED bulbs in for my reverse lights. Looking forward to seeing them at night. It's pretty easy to tell the difference, even in the daylight.
