2023 XLT...LED Tail light strips?

[Bobby Chapman]

On my 23xl I had this ( 1unit- discontinued) before they made it 2 pieces to make this work. It makes it so you can use the 4way and still have guidelines show up on backup camera.Also put mine under bumper, for top of bumper interfears with tailgate.
Hope this helps.

OP doesn't want one that disables the BLIS. Looks like this one would disable the OP's BLIS since it plugs into the trailer hitch 4 pin connection (from what i can tell - maybe I'm wrong????).

Love it, but just went out and measured where each piece would go. May not be enough space to mount the right bar since the power cable to the tailgate is not directly in the middle. Looks like the left (center of the vehicle) end of the bar would hang over the hole for the cable by an inch or so. Not sure if that would be an issue.

Had same situation with my 24.Still looking though. Good luck

You can see mine here. Not my proudest moment but it was pretty cheap.
I had problems tying into the hitch and went to the tail-lights. I also did some fog lights so my tap into the factory Ford harness varied but was either:

• Back-stab the Ford connector with 18/20 AWG solid bell wire (probably the best)
• Back-stab the Ford connector with bell wire pig-tail and then run stranded with a bullet or spade connector.
• Back-stab the Ford connector with stranded wire that you have and tin about 1" with solder to stiffen it up.

Avoid vampire taps and zip-tie whatever you back-stab to both the Ford wire and again zip-tie whatever wire you add to the Ford tape conduit after verifying basic function. This is NOT aircraft grade reliability or even close. Ford engineers probably spent a lot of resources to make sure these connectors were weather resistant and back-stabbing compromises that a little bit. But all these bulbs are auxiliary; not required.
