I've been doing some looking myself, and I've found that the OEM LED tail lights are cheapest on eBay. However, you can wait until GoRecon, Anzo, Spyder and those other brands come out with possible new designs. Not sure if you knew this, but the 2015-2017 tail lights fit the 2018's.

They do fit but require changing the sockets and or and doing a little rewiring. I also did a Forscan change and did NOT install the load resistors. See the link below in my build thread.

Thanks for that info. I think I'll just wait until these companies release their new designs so I don' t have to go through all that work. Lol

Yeah...I can understand that...It really wasn't that hard...I solder all the connections and use shrink tubing to seal them up, took maybe an hour or two to adapt.

My taillights are not as nice as the OE LED's but the looks were a big improvement over the ugly XLT tail lights and they were less then $300 even with the rework.

Those tails look great Mike. Definitely my next upgrade will be new heads and tails. Hate having to wait.

Johnday actually found them, it was the very first mod I bought before the truck even existed. There was some issues with them, since installing they have been fine. No issues with moisture that even the OE's have problems with, and I wash my truck a lot.
