2018 Bed Lighting
Hello everybody,
Just noticed last week my new / used 2018 5.0L Lariat with spray in bed liner had some touch-up work done by the dealer to the bed. What they neglected to do was mask the bed illumination lights at the back by the tailgate. Now I'm debating removing them and figuring out a way to clean off the black paint. Anybody have suggestions on replacements or part numbers if I trash them in the process somehow? Bad comes to worse I can wet sand them with silicon carbide paper and probably buff them out but rather just throw in something LED or OEM parts if need be. If there's a forum vendor that sells OEM FORD parts that would be super. My searching thus far has revealed FL3Z-13A756-A and some outrageously priced units from Recon.
TIA
