24 Flash- Tailgate swap

[HOTAS]

The ‘24 Flash was definitely a sweet spot of desirable standard content and price. Especially with all the recent discounts.

If you can’t live without the look of a factory rear light bar, here’s a good looking alternative that’s maybe adaptable??

That kit looks amazing for the older non lightning F150's.

Agree, the tail lights would almost certainly not work but the light bar would be cool if it could be adapted.

I tried looking but not definite awnser.
Can I buy a rear tailgate with rear light bar and replace my Non light one ? .
Assuming the wiring is needed and forscan maybe?

Here I am with my 22 Lariat wishing it didn’t have the lights on the tailgate just more to go wrong , I’ve seen 2 at my job now with water in the reverse lights … be happy you don’t have them

No, the sides are different shape, wider for the Lariat and Platinum.

*grumble* I wish we had yellow turn signals on our trucks. They're easier to see your intent at a glance, but don't mind me, I'm just an import to the U.S. who misses amber turn signals

And with those turn signal replacements, they do/don't, have the blind spot detectors !/?

If you referring to the kit in post #16, no BLIS. This kit is meant for the 12th gen (2009-2014) trucks. I think poster's thought was maybe these could be modified for the Lightning but I don't think so. Maybe one could get the light bar to work with some creative wiring but I wouldn't change out the tail lights.

There’s a recall for the condensation in the reverse brake light. Mine had some and took it in to get swapped out and it solved that issue.

I have a 23 Lariat ER and I love it but I don’t think the reverse brake light bar is a must. It makes the truck look cool but I don’t think it would be worth going through all the trouble to add that. Just my opinion.
