M-T15 Lucas Lighting T15 High Output CANBUS White LED Bulbs – Pair
 Lucas Lighting T15 High Output CANBUS White LED Bulbs – Pair
Upgrade your vehicle's reverse or truck-bed lighting with the Lucas Lighting M-T15 T15 High Output CANBUS LED Bulbs. Designed as a direct replacement for compatible halogen bulbs, the M-T15 delivers a high-output white LED upgrade with instant-on performance and modern CANBUS technology.
The T15 M-Series is most commonly used for reverse lights and truck-bed lighting. Lucas Lighting designed the M-Series around proper light-source positioning, using fewer but much higher-power LED chipsets positioned as closely as possible to the original halogen bulb filaments.
The result is a T15 LED replacement designed to provide substantially more useful illumination than the original halogen bulb while maintaining an appropriate light-source position within the factory housing.
The M-T15 also incorporates Lucas Lighting's newest CANBUS technology, which Lucas states provides compatibility with greater than 90% of vehicles without bulb-out errors or fast-blinking issues. The M-T15 is sold as a pair of two white LED bulbs.

High-Output T15 LED Reverse Lights
One of the strongest applications for the M-T15 is upgrading factory reverse lights.
More useful reverse-light output can make it easier to see behind the vehicle when backing into a driveway, parking space or dark area. Lucas specifically highlights the benefit for vehicles equipped with backup cameras, where additional reverse-light illumination can make more of the area behind the vehicle visible on the screen.
The M-T15 is also useful for vehicles with tinted windows, where additional reverse-light output can help improve visibility behind the vehicle.
T15 LED Upgrade for Truck Bed Lighting
The M-T15 is also designed for truck-bed lighting applications.
Its white LED output can provide a significant upgrade over traditional halogen bulbs when used in a compatible truck-bed light position.
For trucks and other vehicles that use a T15 bulb for cargo-area illumination, the M-T15 provides a simple way to upgrade the factory bulb to a higher-output LED.
Optimized M-Series LED Design
Lucas Lighting's M-Series is designed around the importance of LED light-source positioning.
Rather than simply filling the bulb with a large number of LED chips, Lucas uses fewer but much higher-power LED chipsets and positions them as closely as possible to the original halogen bulb filament.
This positioning is intended to help maintain a more appropriate light-source location within the factory housing and produce a useful lighting pattern.
Advanced CANBUS Compatibility
The M-T15 features Lucas Lighting's newest CANBUS technology.
Lucas states that the M-Series achieves compatibility with greater than 90% of vehicles without causing bulb-out errors or fast-blinking issues.
This makes the M-T15 a strong option for modern vehicles with electronically monitored lighting circuits.
However, vehicle electrical systems can vary. CANBUS compatibility does not guarantee that every vehicle will operate without additional components or troubleshooting.
T15 vs. T10 LED Bulbs
The M-T15 shares the same base style as a T10, but the T15 has a larger housing on the interior side of the bulb.
This difference is important when considering a T15 upgrade.
Do not assume a T15 will physically fit every location that accepts a T10. Always verify available clearance before upgrading from T10 to T15.
T15 Bulb Cross-Reference Compatibility
Lucas Lighting lists the M-T15 as a replacement for the following bulb styles:
- 904
- 904NA
- 906
- 906NA
- 912
- 916
- 916NA
- 917
- 921
Always verify the original bulb number and physical clearance before ordering.
Ideal Applications
The M-T15 is primarily designed for:
- Reverse lights
- Backup lights
- Truck-bed lights
- Cargo-area lighting
- Compatible T15 exterior lighting
- Other compatible applications using the listed T15 cross-reference bulbs
The M-T15 is especially well suited for customers looking to improve reverse-light visibility or upgrade factory truck-bed lighting to LED.
Direct Replacement Design
The M-T15 is designed as a direct replacement for compatible halogen bulbs.
Installation uses the vehicle's factory bulb socket, allowing the factory lighting housing and wiring to remain in place.
Because the M-T15 is physically larger than a T10 on the interior side of the housing, customers converting from T10 to T15 should verify that adequate clearance exists before installation.

Important Fitment Information
Before ordering the M-T15, verify that your vehicle uses a compatible T15-style bulb or one of the listed cross-reference numbers.
The M-T15 can be used in some T10 applications where there is sufficient physical clearance, but the T15 housing is larger on the interior side than a T10.
Always verify:
- Original bulb number
- Socket/base style
- Available housing clearance
- Intended lighting function
Vehicle bulb fitment can vary by year, make, model and trim level. Lucas Lighting recommends using its vehicle bulb finder to verify bulb size, while also noting that some vehicles may have more than one possible bulb configuration depending on trim level.
Installation
- Turn off the vehicle and lighting system.
- Allow the original bulb to cool before removal.
- Remove the factory bulb from the socket.
- Compare the original bulb with the Lucas M-T15 before installation.
- Install the M-T15 into the factory socket.
- Verify that the bulb is fully seated.
- Test the reverse, truck-bed or other intended lighting function.
- Confirm that the bulb operates properly before completing the installation.
If upgrading a T10 location to the larger T15 housing, confirm that the bulb does not contact the inside of the housing or other components.
