Default Need tail light help!

So I’m looking to put new tail lights on my truck but I am looking for the Stock ones that look like this (see picture) but I don’t know the name or model of them or where to get them. Anyone know about these?

Those are the stock LED lights. First question is did your truck have stock LED or halogen lights. because the wiring harness is different.

That is a good question, I don’t actually know. I have a 2016 xlt not sure if that makes a difference in which type they used. I would have to check.

I'm 95% sure LED lights were not even an option until you reached Lariat level honestly.

They did come on XLT, but you don't see many from the factory with them....Cabe, did your truck come with BLIS? If not then you almost certainly have halogen lights

I don’t have BLIS, would those lights I want be compatible with my lights then or no?

No, the link I added above shows how you can get the OEM LED look by splicing in new harnesses in for those LED lights.

In other words, The halogen lights you have now has two "pigtails" 1 that ends with your reverse light socket, and 1 the ends with your signal/brake light socket. The 2 bulb sockets need to be cut off and the 20 pin harness that matches with the OEM LED light housing(because the LED's built into the housing) needs to be installed.
