So even if you have LEDs in the lower backups, it won't be safe to run standard 7440s as backups. It's your vehicle, but that's just my recommendation. You may not a blow fuse, and it may work fine, but it's just not a good way to do things. We strongly recommend only using LEDs in the new backup lights to avoid any issue.
Yeah I have these in stock backup housing:

And these in tag bolts:

Will definitely use LED and most likely yours.
