Default Tail light
I just noticed my tail light housing is busted. How this happened i don't have a clue. But thats beside the point. Ive looked every where i can think of... and cant find out if its a LED or not. Its a 2017 XLT.
Any idea how to tell or maybe you know. And any idea wheres the best place to buy one. Id say Ford is going to be expensive.

Thanks for any help.

XLT for '17 is halogen usually. Pop the light off and see what the bulb looks like.

If you have BLIS it is LED. If you don't have BLIS it is halogen.

XLT is normally incandescent. Look at pictures below and compare, left is incandescent, right is LED.
