Upgrading XLT lights to factory Lariat lights?

[Barracuda340]

I am betting the aftermarket will respond pretty quickly with fancy lights for this thing

Cost of Lariat headlights: $2914
Price difference between Lariat and XLT: $3500

But then you are stuck with Vinyl seats.

The LED headlight units for the maverick cost over $1000 from Ford just a heads up

And any aftermarket one will be the same or more lol head lights are no joke. OP could open up his unit and instal the DRL LED strips though if he so desired to save monies

Wait till somebody totals a lariat and get the taillights out of it.

Isn’t that like trying to find a broken needle in a haystack? Lol

with the model and additional features I am getting the Lariat was just a little out of my budget. That's why I'm asking. Don't have issue paying for them as long as it's budgeted out. So I'm just curious if it is even possible. And it seems like it is. So cool!

Check out MR. Boom’s lights then. youtube or i think he’s on here someplace. Cuz honestly if you want to replace the head and tail light units you’ll end up paying close to the lariat premium lol for a similar price you can get custom ones though from Mr. boom. I think thats what hes called anyways. He’s got a bunch of maverick mod videos on youtube. Good stuff.

THe Active-X Lariat seats are quite comfy on the bum.

As others said, I am sure the aftermarket will pick up but the swap is totally doable, not sure about the extra wiring but even that if your mechanically savvy should not be too terrible.

But then you are stuck with Vinyl seats.

This is one of the defining reasons why I did not order a Lariat. I too will probably upgrade my lights down the line. Not a big fan of non cloth seats

Question: I have ordered an XLT- however I think we can all agree.. the lariat headlights and break lights are superior.
Will I be able to purchase lights from the dealership once I take delivery? Is it gonna be a simple swap or do the LED lights require additional wiring?

This is your best bet. Though you'll wind up not having having headlights for some time.

Wait a few maybe 5-6 years till the plastic dulls out on your existing lights, and the aftermarket gears up with crash parts replacements for XL-XLT, and Lariat. You will be able to get rears for about $100 a pair, and fronts for about $200 a pair. I remember when my silverado was new, the composite head lights were stupid expensive. Now I got TYC replacements for the faded originals from rock auto. They were $30 a side.

There are enough wrecked ones out there I bet you could source all four corners on the cheap if you have the patience to check the big yards a couple times a week. With all the parts shortages right now they are totaling perfectly repairable trucks strictly based on parts availability. Lights should be an easy find.

Getting them wired up and working properly will be the key. Tail lights are most likely plug and play, the headlights that have more options than the XTL will be more difficult.

I think the RP question was how easy will the task be not the costs associated. As someone posted Mr Boom on this forum has some nice how to videos on his youtube channel

Basically the grill has to come off and that is the most tedious portion of the swap.

I'm liking them Mr Boom lights. Especially w black painted insert. That will really "pop" with my iconic silver. Unfortunately if I had $700 just laying around, a set of Eibach lowering springs, a steeda rear sway bar, and steeda strut tower brace would be headed my way first, before a set of lights.

BTW, they have a blackout package for 2023 in XLT and Lariat trim , so theoretically one could just a hit the parts counter in a few years and get a set of those blackout lights in the lariat version.

Gonna either paint my grille bar iconic silver, or get it wrapped in chrome. Not 100% sure yet. I got to get the bang truck first. It made it to the dealer and has a recall for the electric trailer brake controller so they wont let me take it home yet.

Pretty sure @2016BoostedGreyGoose can (or already has) make harnesses to make them work
He’s sold a ton of those harnesses for the F150s

Old post but if anyone with an XL or XLT is interested in purchasing my original Lariat tail lights with signature led lighting they will be up for sale....like yesterday! I will include a set of my PnP adapters with them. No programming, 100% PnP.

Will also be selling my oem Lariat LED headlights to an XL or XLT owner.

I'll be taking quality pics and officially making a FS post tomorrow.
