So been trying to get a new set of tail lights for my '97 f250 but the ones I received from ProtuningLab.com seem to be the wrong ones and are not the correct shape. After much research, seems many online shops have the same shape and labeled for a 97 f250, although are not the correct shape.

I had Recieved the lights, went to install them and was quite disappointed they were wrong.
Am I missing something here? Why is seemingly every website have the taillights as a different shape?

See pics

 

Looks like you got lights for a F-250 light duty which used the F-150 body and bed. Specify a F-350 when ordering to avoid the confusion of light vs heavy duty F-250's.

 

 

 

Correct:

E9TZ-13404-C Right & E9TZ-13405-C Left .. Styleside/Bronco Tail Lamp Assemblies / Available from Ford.

1990 F150/350, F(Super Duty) & Bronco from production date 10/89 // 1990/96 F150/350, F(Super Duty) & Bronco // 1997 F250 Heavy Duty, F350 & F(Super Duty).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrong:

1997/98 F250 Light Duty & 1997/2003 F150 is not the same! This F250 uses the '97/03 F150 'sloping nosed' body.

 

Yep! I never tell someone on the other side of the counter that I have a '97 F250. Guaranteed to get the wrong part.
