Default Installing OEM Led headlights

I just ordered a pair of OEM LEDs for my 2018 F150 xlt. Got them on Ebay for a pretty fair price imo. 1,200 on a bid. Do I need a special harness, fuse, or anything else to make them work properly or are they just plug and play? Looking for a friend.

You will need a harness and FORSCAN.

Two of our members make these harnesses. I got mine from @2016BoostedGreyGoose Straight forward and OEM.

For the FORSCAN, you'll need an adapter and a license. Search on here for that. There's an excellent write-up and instructions. Here... I looked it up for you: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing

No expert here, just got mine working to change a few things. You did install the driver for the ODBII adapter didn't you?

I had to unzip them to a folder then run the setup or executable to install the driver. My laptop already had Winzip installed (I think) that allowed me to unzip the files.

What happens when you click the little up arrow next to the file? It should give you an option to run...
