I will probably end up waiting until a good looking set of aftermarkets are available... I "was" waiting for something that looked good, worked better for my 2015, but finally gave up...

Thanks, I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to the headlight unit. Though, I did see in the parts catalog an LED Ballast. Though I thought thise were for HID also, it seems they may be using the term lightly for an LED Driver. So, as of now looks like headlight assembly and LED ballast, not sure on a wiring harness yet. Hoping the stock will plug into ballast and that into the assembly. Won't know until my truck arrives...

At $2k, dont get why one would not get the Ultimate package and get the cameras, etc. Seems absurd.
I bought a Platinum and didnt even realize they offered 2 different sets of headlights, I guess I have never seen the non LED version. Does someone have a pic?

Please let us know what you find out. I asked this same question a while back and i cant remember what exactly the reasoning was, but i do remember people saying that the aftermarket harness was required. These lights are only 1080 add on when you order or build the truck, but they are $2300, if you were to buy them outright. i guess thats because their taking into account that your not paying for the regular lights when ordering, so you sort of get credit for them. Maybe the dealer will give you a deal on the leds if you trade in your take off lights. They'll just throw them in their parts inventory to sell later.

and then you have to add the led option $1080 on top of that. the ultimate pkg doesnt come with leds, it just gives you the option to add them. At least on the f150, you are able to get leds on a standard lariat without having to pay for other stuff you dont need or want.

I agree. I too want a scab, so in order to get the leds, id have to add another $2300 for the super crew add on, then another $5000 - $6000 the ultimate pkg. along with the glass roof that i dont want also. So i would be looking at an extra 9 grand if i wanted the leds.

Lariat requires Ultimate package and Blind Spot monitor just to be eligible for LED package.
