Flip those lights in the socket. Sometimes, cheaper LEDs have to be installed one way only. Flip them before making a trip to the dealer.

Recommend using Zevo LED bulbs. Won't have the "gazillion lumens" of the cheaper units but will last far longer. Trust. I should've listened myself. LOL

I could be wrong, but i think starting in 2024 Ford made LED headlights standard across the board

Yep, I thought they were all LED also, but after looking at a 2024 headlight assembly, that outside side marker light is totally a halogen bulb. C'mon Ford, get your **** together and get rid of all halogen bulbs already. I remember seeing someone's 2024 Lariat and seeing that the LP light were still halogen there too. C'mon Ford. LOL

OP, have you tried the 'ol classic have you tried rebooting it? AKA, disconnect the battery for a little while.

Get yourself a Forscan setup and check for stored DTCs too.

UPDATE- after going back to OEM halogen and disconnecting battery the side marker lights are working again!!!!

Glad you have them working. There are better replacement bulbs that are led, that will probably work. But not from Amazon.
