Thanks Jon. I picked up some tails earlier without the chrome strip. I wanted to stay away from that. I like how yours light up though.
Yours look like they may be better quality than mine.
Here's mine taken with my tatercam.

I love the KR tails, especially after the tint! Would it be a lot harder to set up the amber turn signal as opposed to the red brake as turn + brake?

These are actually factory taillights, they are only available on king ranch 600a package and the raptor 800a package (non Blis LEDs). Yours look very nice though! Where did you find them without the chrome?!

It would involve 2 things, 1 - running 2 wires from the lf fender to the connector by the spare tire, and 2 - using ForScan to put the KR programming in the BCM. I can help you through it if you’d like!

Thanks, I picked them up off ebay. They were the closest I could find to what I wanted. I'm thinking of maybe have them smoked/wrapped or something to try to hide the insides a bit better. They'll do for now.
Did you open yours to do the tint, or is that all exterior, you did a great job on them.
Just curious on the opening them, I've been assuming they were sonic welded like the 12th gen.

They were spray tinted by a body shop, 4 parts clear coat, 1 part gloss black. Next time I think I’d do 6:1 ratio. These are awful dark. Oh well!

They look good though. Never thought of taking them to a body shop. Good excuse to go see the guys that do my painting for me. I tried doing that myself with some of that VHT smoke on my other truck, wasn't really happy with the results.

Those look awesome!! I’ve been thinking about swapping the bulbs out in my stock lights because I didn’t there was a simple non-Blis option. What are you asking for that other set? I wouldn’t have an issue running a wire but I’ve yet to do any Forscan mods. Is it required for these? Great looking rig btw!
