Hello Ford.
Hello folks.
My tailgate light bar has….a lot of condensation….in it and my white LEDs are going out again.
This is the third(3) light bar from the original recall.
I am wondering, who are the suppliers of the light bar for the Lightning.
Is this the first time these suppliers made a weather resistant light assembly for any automotive entity??
This is looking like another recall for that light bar.
Anyone else with this issue???
Look carefully.

My original light bar is getting replaced today even though there's nothing wrong with it. tired of Ford nagging me. I hope the replacement doesn't have problems.

Never had a problem with the old or new one. Something with the installer or the truck if yours has gone out 3 times.

Hit the magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of the screen and search on Light bar. You will find lots of posts on it. Had something similar happen which messed with my rear camera. Dealer fixed it during my first visit. Might not be the part, could be the competency of the techs. Hope you get it fixed soon once and for all.

What.!!!!😧
As long as your under warranty, your good. I’m outside the warranty period which brings it down to 12months/12k miles on the part. It’s well over $1000 to replace so keep an eye on it fo any signs of water infiltration. Interestingly every single failure occurred on the passenger side of the lightbar
