It does list Lightning, but I would call or confirm before buying. The specific one has been there I believe about 2 weeks. I figured they just added Lightning to the list - I wasn't sure it truly had the updated harness for plug and play.

Ok .. I ordered. The instructions it references don't give any indication that it is for the Lightning 
I asked for accurate instructions or my money back.

And they sent me to... The old video that shows making it work through hacking the wiring. Doh. Refund time.

I just installed mine today. Thank you to @Intellibeam foe the install video, it was very helpful.
I want to talk about one thing though, the light up sequence. I bought mine directly from Ford (obviously made by Putco though), and I noticed the wire loom was kind of crushed/suspect. I have plenty of loom, so I replaced it. In doing so I noticed inside the loom there was a green wire that was either a) broken, or b) cut. Tbh it looked more cut, as the “break” was in a spot in the loom that looked undamaged. I connected/soldered/heat shrank the green wire and I have the startup sequence. (Tested it on a spare battery first to make sure I wasn’t going to fry something)
Had I not taken the original loom off I would have never known and just assumed it didn’t have the sequence.
So, @Intellibeam , do you remember seeing a green wire? If so, it’s possible it’s broken/disabled inside the loom.

Oh, and this was not lightning specific. I ran the wires like in the video, it wasn’t bad at all.

Yeah the install isn’t bad at all and there is no “hacking” just grounding Nd taping into a fuse. I didn’t not notice a green wire but wasn’t really looking for one.

Which one do I want if I buy from putco for my lariat? Do I want the wire harness? I want the led one right? why would I want halogen? If I go with fuse option then there is no halogen option.

I talked to Putco on tuesday and they do not have the light with the proper 10 pin plug yet. I figured I would just wait until that is complete.
LED is what you want.

So I did the install. pretty straight forward. Fuse 48 did not work for me for some reason. No power. I ended up using 181. Works fine. This morning my turn signal are flashing fast like a bulb is out, but both. No signal lights in the front, on in the rear. What the heck?
