Anyone have tips for the side markers? I have the bulbs but following the instructions in the manual just led to messing up paint near the marker when trying to pry it out with a trim tool.

Mostly the driver side since the passenger is supposedly easy to access in the wheel well.

Contort your hand inside the wheel well

Yea, guess that’s what I’ll end up doing. Just wish the “right way” didn’t also mean screwing up the paint. Would be a lot nicer if it actually popped out the way it was designed to.

Yep. I know what you mean first hand!

I just did the side markers today ... driver side was very difficult, hand and first half of arm are scraped up. My hands are too big, so I couldn't touch the clip, but what I did that helped was hold a small screwdriver in my hand, and pressed against where I thought the clip was, while also pushing out, so that the light assembly would come out like is shown in the video linked earlier. If you have a child or maybe an adult with small hands, have them try. I should've asked my wife to help. Ha!

Copy that, the tail lights work flawlessly in the Lariat! So no type of error codes or anything, or weird flashing? Really looking forward to completing the Lasfit LED look with these rear break lights! About to go do my front blinkers and the front side markers today.

Nope no errors or hyper flash at all. Been almost a week of daily driving

The side markers will just pop out if you follow the directions in the manual. Just use a stiff plastic trim tool or a metal one wrapped in painters tape (to protect the paint). It takes a bit of force but they literally just pop out. Much easier than digging around behind the wheel well

I used a variety of plastic trim tools and all of them warped the paint where pressure was applied

I’m following the manual and some prior posts here to correctly apply the pressure but really don’t want to cause any more damage than the minor paint wrinkle I’ve got now.

I get some movement but it doesn’t pop out. If anyone who’s done it this way can post an actual video, it’d be helpful.

Yeah it's really just the driver side that is a bear because some Ford genius decided to put that part right in the way from getting to it from under the fender. My buddy has long skinny arms and was able to get to mine from the engine bay. That plastic clip they have on the side marker is very, very stout.

Waiting on my reverse lights to come in from being back ordered. Besides them and those pesky side market lights, everything else is installed.

Happy with what I see so far. Everything is nice and bright!
Brother got all of his installed, besides the side markers. and also happy with the results.

Watch Daniels video. Easiest way to replace those marker lights. He does this about half way in the video. Hope this helps.

Ugh he removed a cover from underneath.. not sure if that's easier than going in through wheel well... what a pain. And I know cameras aren't super accurate compared to eyesight but man the blinkers look bright at night.

That's how I did it.
