Hello All,

I recently purchased a 2018 lariat screw and I was curious if anyone has installed the Feniex LED hide a way strobes in either their tail lights or headlights. I have the stock halogen headlights and LED tails with BLIS.

Thank you for any input!

 

Haven't installed them in my F-150, but I've installed many Feniex Cannon LED's in other vehicles. They will not work in the Lariat with the LED taillights. They need the reflector of a halogen housing to create the optimal flash effect. I've also found that headlight housings are typically too big to concentrate the flash into something effective in the daytime.

If you still have your halogen fog lights, they work well in those. Elsewise, you're better off to use surface mounts in the grill or a high beam flasher for low-level warning. For the rear, a lightstick in the rear window (I would recommend a Fusion 600/800) or surface mount lightheads are your best bet.

 

Look up the factory kit, two hood mounted units, and 2 mounted with the centre brake light. might be more $$ then you want to spend.

 

I'd put then in the 3rd brake light. Higher and more visible anyways.

 

I didn’t think of the reflector part. I did get the fusion 800 for the rear window and got a full interior bar for the front. How about a LED flasher for the tail lights? Could that be an option?

 

May want to look at Fenix Tail light strobes. They have a bracket to mount the lights over the rear plate.

 

IMO, I'd stay away from hideaways. They're expensive, a pain to install, and, in most cases, they just don't look *that* good.

Two decent surface-mounted heads below the tailgate will be 10X more effective, and cheaper.

 

Factory option is a pair of Soundoff Signal Ghosts rebranded as Ford. You would save money if you wanted those by just buying them through an SoS dealer online. The rear bracket can probably be found cheaper online, too. I believe through Ford they also only come in amber.

I think the Lariat has an LED CHMSL, too - no reflector dish and no room for the Cannons. If the OP has the standard brake light, then replacing the cargo lights with dual-color white/warning lights works very well. You simply program one mode for the cargo mode and one for warning to your switch.

I think it could be an option if you're willing to cut into the factory wiring. If you go on Soundoff Signal's website they list a flasher as compatible with the F-150. That would make for really effective warning in combination with the 800 stick.
