FYI i ran the wires as directed to the #36 and #40 bcm
Yoiu have to double check your wires I had issues and everything was the wires I hooked up , the color codes on my truck were different on the helogen plugs so what i did was i use a test light and hooked up one light at a time . Longs you did forscan correctly and your wiring is correct it will work .

Has anyone done this recently? The OPs directions seem very detailed but the pictures don't come up anymore. I have the Morimoto harness and it's not working very well so I'd like to wire it the correct way.

More specifically if anyone has the wiring instructions to go from the factory halogen wires to the LED connector that would help a lot.

I kick myself now that I just learned that I could have saved all those settings on my lap top computer, I won't make that mistake again.
But for now I can use any help anyone can give me..

Thank You

HC3Z-14D189-C, HC3Z-14D189-D are BLIS brackets specifically for LED tails, you will not be able to re use the brackets from your halogen tail light housings. You will be able to reuse the hardware/screws.
Great work everyone, this is awesome!

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, but I am confused. I have a 2019 non-led. non-bliss, with led bedlights. I recently purchased the Ford LED taillights with bliss. I don't care to add Bliss at this point. My question is, do I use the HCZ-13A409-A harness or the 13A409-C? I would like to add the OEM light under the tailgate, or an aftermarket light later.

Thank you in advance. Stay well!- Rob

Has anyone tried just changing to halogen bulbs for LEDs? Am I falling into a trap looking for the easy way out? Lots of LED suppliers are touting just switch the bulbs. Help!

I hope you don't have to buy a new light either. Mine is going to the dealer in the coming week to have one replaced due to fogging up. They claim that it's a $1000 part.
My fogging eventually went away so I told them I didn't want to replace the headlight housing right now. They whined about the price and claim that because it's "special order" that Ford won't let them return a brand new, unopened box part. So instead of leaving them to hang for a $1000 part, as they claim will happen, I rescheduled and will have it replaced. But I made it clear that no matter what happens I will not be paying for it on a truck that was bought 10/20/20 and still only has 1900 miles on it. If Ford ends up charging the dealer, that will between the dealer and Ford to sort out.
