Lights on, hit the brakes, take some more pics.

So, after taking a 400 mile round trip, I came back home and parked the truck in the shop
The next morning I noticed 4-5 small spots of oil under the truck
The skid plate was soaked with oil in some spots, obvious oil leak
So I popped the hood and the oil level was decent, not full but definitely not low.......lucked out
I took off the skid plates and started looking around.....I wiped everything down
I started the truck up and the oil filter got wet pretty fast
I was not sure if the oil filter gasket was leaking or the oil filter canister was leaking
I bought a new filter and some oil.........the old filter was on TIGHT, almost could not get it off
I installed the new filter and topped off the oil
Bone dry...........Did I install the filter too tight? I have been changing my own oil for over 20 years. Never had an issue!
Or, did the gasket fail?
Here is gasket, which appears to have a slice in it..........I cannot figure out anywhere else it was leaking from

Does anyone know the part number for these clips?

Try this or Autonation Ford

Willing to bet on gasket failure there. It happens sometimes...

Who makes smoked LED lenses for the towing mirrors?

Recon only shows them for the Super Duty series.......nothing for the F150. Same part though right?

I believe they're the same part. I'd call to double check though. I usually order all my truck parts via phone since i can get any questions i have answered.
