It's cool....I know what it's like to have questions when the modding fever hits

ANYWAY...back to the build,

I've about set my mind on the next big mod & I think it'll be adding the Adaptive Cruise Control to my little 2.7
I figure this will be a good excuse to finally add the 2017 Limited steering wheel so I can do the heated wheel mod in the future. (See how one thing rolls right into another?)

All of this is still in the "planning stages" pending approval of the Financial Officer - AKA the wife

I did a Mini-Mod today while I wait for my Modification funds to replenish for the bigger jobs
As much as I like to keep the OEM appearance, I have grown to like the debadged tailgates and decided it was time to say goodbye to my rear F150




On a side note: I was REALLY shocked to see how much dirt was trapped inside of the emblems

Looks good to me! Mine is gone also...lol
Hey on a side note. Did the testing, sorry so late with it, today. Installed only the rear harness. Everything still works except the brake lights and turn signals. The LED outline works. So I am thinking that there is something in the larger harness that also needs to be connected to get these working again... I guess I will venture to swapping the larger one. Wanted to wait until the larger fuel tank arrived so that I would have plenty of room since I have to completely remove it anyway...lol Soooo test concluded!

Not a problem - I figured that you had already seen the LED taillight swap thread where Ryan B & tmcolegr had already started working on it... & found to make it work two wires needed to be swapped for compatibility to the larger (halogen) harness - pins 6 & 7 to location 8 & 16 of the C405 connector, using new terminals because the original terminals from 6 & 7 wouldn't fit in in the new location.

I don't blame you for waiting on the wiring swap, smart move to only drop the tank once & maximize your room.... But yeah - Test definitely Concluded with their findings

Ahhhh I see that thread now. Ok so I guess I was correct. Brake and tail lights wont work unless either installing the full under truck harness or repining the C405 connector for those that are just installing the new led tail light harness.
