Yep, been there done that.

All mine fell off when I pulled it to do the tailgate damper.

Im also Forscan fluent.

This is going to snowball because I’ll be adding the mirrors and the rest of the BLIS parts. Just have to track down the correct modules, as the 2018 won’t work with my year.

Good luck with that. I don't care for the BLIS light in the mirror. Does it do cross-traffic alert though when backing out of a parking spot? That would be helpful. Saved my rear end a few times in the wife's subaru outback.

Well livinitup tried to help me get the cross traffic alert up and running, but forscan doesn't see the BLIS modules in the tail lights. He figures my XLT is missing some wiring. Bummer.

Tell me more.... that looks relatively "plug and play". I thought I was going to have run my own wires.
