Tail light redesign already?

 

Nothing new. It's a KR without BLIS.

 

those are the same lights that have been on the 600a king ranch since 2015, led without blis. the 800a raptor has them too.

 

A high end without BLIS? GEEZ you would think it would be standard on it!

 

Yup, you'd think they'd have BLIS on all the higher end packages. But nope. As a way to make up for it they have those awesome lights. Only OEM part that has the LED strip on the non-BLIS.

I so wish I could get these (and make them work properly) on my XLT.

 

Why can't you? I'd be interested in making them work on my 18 xlt

 

Because the King Ranch, and now I guess the Raptor, have a different wiring setup for the rear tail lights. The long clear section you see in the pic houses not only the reverse light, but a yellow turn signal as well.

The way all the other trucks are is that the turn signal shares the same bulb as the brake lights. So you'd possibly be able to make it work. But you'd need to swap out at least one wiring harness on top of the cost of the lights.

 

OTOH now I know to check for BLIS when scoping out a used KR.

 

Easiest way to scope out BLIS on any F150 is by looking at the side mirrors. BLIS is an all one piece mirror. Non-BLIS has the regular mirror AND the convex mirror in the top corner.

 

Those lights look amazing. Someone needs to make an aftermarket knock-off with LED's that is plug and play for us non-LED trucks.
