Not sure but, the tail lights aren't bright enough.
I would like rear Amber turn signals too.
This is the difference an LED bulb made on a Buick Encore rear turn signal.

So I was wondering if anyone else has issues with passeby vehicles flashing their lights at you? Just to refresh I have a '24 Maverick XLT FX4 EB with 4k tow...not sure if most of that (or any of that) matters lol but I always have somebody flashing their high beams at me. Or they turn them on altogether. I rarely use my high beams (I've turned off auto highbeams) but always turn them off long before a vehicle nears me when ai donuse them. I'm just surprised by everyone assuming mine are on. I do find them to be the brightest I've ever had. My first "white" headlights. My other vehicles still had the standard yellow ting to them as they've always been affordable (or cheap) vehicles. With all the high end cars, suvs and full size trucks out there I feel mine are pretty reasonable 🤷‍♂️
The Maverick comes with LED headlights. I’ve never been flashed down even when the brights are on (high beams).
I have a 2022, since 11/21.

I have been ‘flashed’ as you say, 90% of the time I have forgotten to knock down my high beams. And 10% of the time when I have my low beams on. Yeah, one in ten cars hit me with their high beams when I have only my low beams on. What changed from 2022 to 2023? I do run mostly country roads. If interstates are run mostly at night, there is less of a chance for the opposing, ‘extra burst of light!’ This last point might be the difference in this wide gap of nighttime experiences of everyone who has posted here.

Wild. I'll have to check my alignment one of these days.

I actually ordered a set of smoked tail lights from Diode Dynamics, since my previous accident was being rear ended. The next day a driver jumped over the yellow line, totaling my SECOND Mav... The tail lights were already in transit so, I couldn't cancel the order. I'm not sure when I will be buying another, other replacement so... I'll have to write my tale to them... Not sure if I'm getting a 22-24 or maybe a 26. Will they still fit?

Mine definitely are the brightest I've owned. And see my post just before yours, my gripe about alignment issue. Everyone keeps saying out of alignment. Would be very disappointed to find out they are from the factory.
Mine were.
Took me year and a half to figure it out.
(didn't drive at night all that much)
I thought the headlamps just sucked that whole time.

I have no idea if they'll fit. I've never messed with the tail lights on my Maverick.

I'm not sure what year you had but seems for some items 22-24 usually coincide and possibly 25 but I'm not sure about 26-27

How about getting flashed during the day? That's what happened to me yesterday. Two times within 10 minutes, I had two cars flash me. The first one, I thought maybe they were warning me about a cop ahead. Nope—nothing. Then, a few minutes later on a completely different road: flashed again. I had to pull over to see if something was wrong with the truck. Bright, sunny day, 11:00AM-ish Headlights off, DRLs on—maybe they were just fans of the blue Lobo.
