First post on the forum, just wanted to contribute now that I am I proud owner of a 2024 F150 Lightning Flash. I ordered these takeoff leather seats from an ICE F-150 on eBay. They patch the cup holder portion of the rear seat to fit lower trim f-150s and based on research from this forum and some youtube videos I was fairly certain the seats in our F-150 lightnings are identical to the ICE ones. There aren't that many good tutorials out there on how to do it and most of the ones available do the front seats only and never show the rear seats being done.
I did all the work myself and it was definitely a lot more then I initially expected. I also saved myself a lot of trouble and just cut the old cloth seats to avoid the work of having to pull them off. The seats are held in place with these clips that attach to a rail on the cloth and it was just easier to cut the cloth off the rails and slide them out then trying to save the cloth seats. Its very easy to tear the clips off the seats themselves.
Once the cloth seats are off the leather seats are easy enough to wrap around and clip in. The most tedious section was the rear seats where it required a lot of unbolting and disconnecting to get the seats out so that you could take the cloths seats off and put the new leather on.
Overall I am really happy with how they came out and maybe its just me but I feel a lot more comfortable in the leather then I did in the cloth seats. There are a few wrinkles especially in the headrests but I have heard that a steamer or heat gun should help get rid of those. Honestly for under 400 dollars getting OEM leather seats it was worth all the work it took to put them on.
For anyone curious where I got them from, This is the ebay listing : https://www.ebay.com/itm/225916700339
