Has anyone had experience with these Ebay tail lights?

[Area51]

Hi all-

I love the look of the Lightning and 2025 F150 led tail lights. I have a 2023 XL/STX with halogen tails and would love to upgrade them without breaking the bank. Has anyone had any experience with these particular Ebay tails?

So I can’t speak for those ones, but I have the 21-23 raptor style ones that I got on eBay and I have never had an issue and I’ve had them for a year

Update - after some slow shipping issues, I got the Ebay tail lights (linked above) and love how they look! They are basically 2024+ LED replicas. Fit is great and they really add a little extra to the rear end, especially vs. the stock halogens.

The light color looks orange in the pic, but it's actually red.

Are they plug and play, or do you have to program modules with Forscan?

Plug and play!

Plug and play!

That's great! I'm definitely looking into getting these lights as well.

Update - the driver's side is having flickering issues at startup (seems almost like the exhaust note interferes with it) and then the top bar flickers constantly. I emailed the seller, we'll see. I may have to return these. Sad because I love the look.

Thanks for being a guinea pig for us!

My Morimotos did that, drove me nuts. I hear you can delete "light out" on tails, and they will work fine.

I think the cost would put me way over budget. Plus, I don't know if they'd work with my '23 wiring without some sort of harness.

What do you mean by "delete light out" ??

these trucks do weird things if you add LEDs to it, the lower voltage pull, makes the truck think the light bulb is out. So hence flickering, etc
If you do Forscan changes, from what I've read, others are smarter than I on Forscan, you can turn off the monitoring of that, so the LED tails will work normally.

Gotcha. Unfortunately, that would require one to have Forscan

That i am unsure of. i had OEM LEDs so it was plug and play with my 2022 to go to the 24 LEDs.
I had someone try to buy them from me not too long ago that linked these tails in their messages. plug and play is the only benefit to these IMO when OEM is the way to go especially for the build quality. i could be wrong though
