Smoked LED Taillights
I am looking for some new smoked LED Taillights, I found an awesome pair online but its says they are made for the 2004-2006 F150, will they fit my 2007?
I really need to know if they will fit, or if with slight modification I can make them fit....

Be very careful buying "cheap" lenses on Ebay....the reason being leakage.
I wanted a set of blacked out headlight buckets for my 2005 STX. I shopped Ebay, and saw a set for $89.00. Bought them. A week later the drivers side fogged up. I removed it, and did the "250 degrees at 10 minutes in the oven" trick to remove the lense. About a pint of water poured out as I carefully removed the lense (the oven trick softened the sealer). What I found was about 3 inches of missing sealer on the top groove that the lense fits into. I fixed it using black silicone, and the lense has not given me problems since. I was lucky I was able to fix the problem.
Bottom line; "cheap" is for a reason. If the part is new, it usually represents that the part is cheaply made. In the long run, it may cost you twice as much, as you end up buying a better quality part, and chucking the "cheap" part. You would have saved money if you would have bought the better quality in the first place.
