So Just like the last KR version they require seperate inputs for brake and signal

Add 2 or 4 wires from above the drivers wheelwell to the back of the truck and swap the taillight harness couple forscan changes and your in business

GL3Z-13A409-AF is the bliss led taillights harness for '15-17, the 18 one should have cls 18&19 27&27 54&55 populated just like a 15+KR harness

They look good, no doubt about it. However 700 bucks its a bit insane.

So, if someone upgraded to 15-17 LEDs with the WPT harness, do these plug and play?

So my question would have to be, Can you gain the '17 up Blis functionality (trailer Blis) as well? For me that would justify the cost of the Tails, and better looking to boot

Same here... But I don't think it'll work considering the wire harness probably has the extra bulb built in. These would match perfectly with the Anzo headlights... The reflector design with the double U shape.

Splice the 2nd bulb wiring into the 1st bulb wiring since they both perform the same function.

I already added led without BLIS to my 2016 truck. I can add 2018's by just ordering them and it will plug right in ?

But damn $800 just for tail lights are a bit pricey for me right now.

Default Just Installed '18 LED Taillights on 2015 SCAB 302A

Another great retrofit. Did the Lariat harness, repinning 2 wires. I went by an Ace Store and had a salesman teach me how to solder properly. So soldered the pigtails on the 2 wires to repin them in the connector; gave me a much more secure connection for these 2 splices. Plug & play after repinning.

Replaced harness under the rear bumper without dropping spare tire; took about an hour. Got lights plugged in, installed, and everything works as designed.

Then one quick ForScan change to the BCM to stop quick flash turn signal bulb outage and I was on the road.

One thing I do plan to do; my truck is black. These taillights are bright bright red. Think I'll find a local paint shop to smoke tint these for me. Otherwise great looking, very bright lights.
