Averaging $2,000 a pair but it all depends on your shopping abilities.

Couple questions for you. ReLly like the write up you did. So my questions are. Is pin holes numbered like will I see a 36 and a 40 in the wire block? And when you say right light is that passenger or driver. It can be right if your in truck and if your looking at truck would be other way. So what is your right like driver or passenger. Thanks for your great post

Thanks brother. One other question for you I watched your video on rear led harness. On my truck where my harness is I have nothing in the black connector only the grey connecter. So can I do the rear led mod?

That’s odd. When was your truck built? Are you certain you looked at the right connectors?

Led

If I remember correctly that plug was for the led bed lights not the tails . I believe you can do the upgrade with no issue.

Ok so just follow your video and take the two plugs from the black harness and put them into the grey harness on the new harness I buy right

Now i'm confused. I thought we pulled two wires from the black plug and put them into the grey plug for the right and left turn/stop.

Or are you saying if you dont have the bed lights, it is wired differently?

His wires in his grey plug look different than mine (only one green, whereas mine had two thicker green wires and has wires in positions mine didnt).

The new harness will have the wire you need ,Wire it the same way . You are just picking up a power signal and sending it to the correct directional

The new harness will have the black connector on it. Should I plug it in or leave it unplugged?

Great write-up!

Followed it step by step yesterday and everything went well until I went to my Ford dealer and had them run the Forscan.

They were able to run the code for Bulb Outage, so no longer do I have a hyper flash on the dash... But I do not have 100% bright C-bars during the day nor can I get the low beams to stay on when the high beams are activated. The guy running the laptop showed me as he would edit a parameter, it would save and then as soon as it was done saving it would revert to a different number.. He said he's never seen that happen before. Any Forscan experts here who can help?

That sounds normal to me. It was explained to me that forscan is doing the check sum for you based on your new values. Just keep plugging in the rest of the values in the table and it should work just fine. Make sure to do backups of he modules first just in case.
