Name and if it's not to much to ask, part number, please.

I've held off doing this but I think I'm about ready. Let's see it

This is the correct answer. Factory red or clear. Avoid the headaches and regret of aftermarket. It never turns out well.
Yep. There seems to be a new post every week or so about X brand lights having some kind of issue. Stick with Ford/Ford Performance whenever possible with that kind of stuff

Those look great. What's the install look like?
Same as any other taillight for S550. You need to remove the plastic piece in the trunk, remove a few push pins to pull the trunk liner back and unscrew a few nuts. There is a plastic piece that sits on top of the taillight housing, I believe that needs to be removed from the old lights and transferred to the new ones. CJ Pony Parts has several install videos for the S550 taillights, worth taking a look at (not the Ford Performance lights specifically but the install is the same for all of them).

Only part you forgot was to unplug the tattletail modem while working on the drivers side!!! Nobody likes a snitch!

Haha! Yep, do that if you so choose. I keep mine plugged in mostly because I use the remote start from the FordPass App quite frequently. Otherwise I’d pull mine also

Ford Performance Clears. Just wait on another sale. If I'm not mistaken they're 20% off right now on Ford Accessories until August 8th if you have FordPass.
