It's drawing too much current and hitting a safety shutoff in the Body Control Module -- kind of like blowing a fuse.
Either remove the bar, or power it from an external source using a relay.
Looks like either a weak wire connection, or maybe a failing LED driver.
The LED module is replaceable just like a regular bulb -- unplug it, then twist to remove. You can swap the LED module to the opposite side (Left to Right, and Right to Left) to see if the problem is in the module or the...
Looks like a prototype test, which they should have completed several months ago to make an early 2026 release.
With the usual Spring Festival delays, I wouldn't expect to see this kit in stock until the middle of Q2 at best.
Here's a full writeup on the parts and install:

Those wheels look great with the metallic gray paint.
Looks like 2025 switched to 433 MHz.

They include another wire harness that connects the taillights to each other. It probably adds less than 5 minutes to the install time.
By monitoring each other's status, each taillight can determine within milliseconds if it's supposed to be indicating red brake or amber turn.
Here's the price list for 2025, published last fall. The "dealer invoice w/ holdback" column shows the price they paid Ford plus a few percent that Ford will pay them back for selling the truck. Prices might be higher than when it was published, but it's a good starting point for a price floor...
These are on my truck for product testing. I can 100% confirm that they are clear.
The black housing, black circuit boards, reflections, and camera light balancing all make it appear darker than it really is.
Here's the same lens style in their the Bronco tails photographed in a whitebox...
They generally work well in my experience, but they are BIG and HEAVY. Especially if you need the add-on extensions for longer wheelbases.
I'm happy using a traditional jack and stands for most of my needs.
Here's the link to discussion on the "fix" they released.

My local dealer was happy to charge me $200 to run the update. Not sure if it helped-- I gave in and...
The pins are at an angle. Pull at about 45 degrees, not directly back or to the side.
You can also try to wedge the plastic trim tool between the housing and bedside, then pivot the lamp out to the side -- it usually falls right out. It shouldn't take much force at all.
They will be plug and play. There is no cutting/splicing of wires, but there is a fuse tap that needs to be plugged into the fuse box on XL/XLT to activate the DRL without needing to reprogram the BCM.
The DRL on XL/XLT is the low beam. However, the DRL on Lariat is an LED Blade that is...
