Lariat Lux and above have LED Headlights. Lariat MID and below to XL have Halogen.

Thought...the question was asked whether non LED packages have the LED tails...and the obvious is no, and the obvious is that it will have BLIS...but, as pointed out in another post, the 600a? has a non BLIS LED tail setup. Any thoughts as if this could be used in an non LED/BLIS application???? [MENTION=70244]tuxedoblack11[/MENTION] [MENTION=32087]Raptor[/MENTION]retrofits

When I had my Tundra I changed the rear tail lights and turn signals to LED lights with the turn signals you have to install resistors to keep it from hyper flashing the brake lights are plug and play. I'm sure there the same for the new Ford.

I wan't to see what those look like lit up. I've searched high and low for months. I've never seen that exact light lit.

BLIS is required for the OEM LED tails. The lamps are part of the taillight assembly and have a different NON Compatible wiring harness. Plenty of great OEM equivalent replacement bulbs available and retailers and online. Hope this helps.

The factory LED lights are only available on Lariat with 502a and are standard (and can not deleted or modified, at least from the factory) on King Ranch, Platinum and Limited.

There are actually two styles of factory LED tail lights. One is with BLIS and the other isn't. Then the standard style is halogen. The LED's are a circuit panel on both LED options and will not work with the non-led taillights. You can retro fit a harness to replace your existing lights, but to merge the circuit board into non LED lights would be more trouble than it's worth.

Shows the rare LED's about half way down. Personally, I love the look of the ones without the BLIS

Page 10 about 2/3 of the way down. I did not know LED taillights came with the 302a package. Do LED headlights come with it too?

And as Bones82 stated, the BLIS is an option on XLT's as well. Hope I answered the OP's question

To Austingta; it's not standard on the 302A package, it's an option and LED headlights are not available for the XLT or lower (if they're even available for the Lariat, that's a trim I'm not all too familiar with)
