my tail lights are done .I used Factory led tails with bliss out of a take off bed and this harness H3CT-13A409-CD.Had to change the pin position of my left and rigt signal wire and it was good to go
What do you mean you had to change the pin position? Is that a Ford part number? I ordered the headlights to do a swap but wasn't sure how to do the tail lights. Do you happen to have any photos or a diagram?
with the ford harness H3CT-13A409-CD (about $70) it was fairly ez.This harness plugged right into the ford factory led tail lights.Underneath the truck right rear up on the trailer hitch there is a gray connector and then a black connector this is the other end of that harness. here disconnect the black connector remove the white insert on the female side you can then release all the wires except the white ,white with blue tracer,green with blue tracer and blue with orange tracer ,essentially your removing 2 wires which are for your left and right signal/brake. these two wires need to be routed to the gray connector and placed in the proper slot .I opened up my harness , moved the two wires then taped the harness back up .I have a couple of pictures with the wires placed in the connector so you can compare.
I called my local Ford dealer and they said that isn't a Ford part number??
with the ford harness H3CT-13A409-CD (about $70) ????? Can you double check?
couple more pics. again you are only moving two wires,The last picture is my original harness and the position of my original turn/brake wire (they are remove from the connector in this picture)I purchased them from my ford parts dealer.I have a small shop on long island and he gives me a decent discount.I will try to do a better more informative step by step of my headlamp install
I will let you know how the conversion goes. I ordered my units off E-Bay. Be cautious that you order the ballast as well when you order them. I am awaiting a wiring harness to be released then I will do the swap. Raptor Retrofit are supposed to have a harness coming out by the end of the month.
Thank you. Do you have any photos of the harness under the truck (location). Your last post did not have any photos. Any luck on the front headlights? Maybe you know a different carrier for a harness? My headlights arrived today but can't install them :crying:
Sorry here are some more.standing looking at your tailgate on your right look at the inside of the trailer hitchgoing up toward the frame you will see the 2 connectors one black and one gray with the black connector the only two wires you should need are the white and the white with blue tracer.Those are for the bed lights.I cannot believe my headlights are not here usually my ford guy delivers my parts the next day ,He told me today they are in transit
Have you found anyone selling the Headlight Harness yet? I was in contact with Raptor Retrofit but they have not given me a release date yet. They were testing the harness in my last email I received from them. The rear LEDs have radar I assume that function doesn't work right if you do not have bliss? I have the basic Lariat Package.
I am testing raptors harness if my lights ever get here.If you dont have bliss I am sure it doesnt come with the module so you may need to configure your connections at the tail light .Here is a link to how the 150 guys do it,http://www.f150forum.com/f118/how-swap-oem-led-taillights-318189 I will get you some more pictures tonight.If you can take a picture of the back of you taillight please post it.
Here are more.first is original harness connectors at taillight, second back of halogen taillight,third taillight without module,fourth is new led taillight w/bliss module and new harness connection and lastly is where the new harness begins
Ok that is what I thought. So basically you re wire the harness? I have not pulled mine down to see how it works. do you have a diagram of what wires go in what slot? Sorry I'm better at watching you tube videos and learning. I understand the headlight harness as I have done one before but I am a little intimidated by this. I guess I do not understand how the wires work and what slots. I assume you remove the old halogen harness and route the new one in its place on both sides? Is it easier to work with the spare lowered? Any tips or video or a really good step by step instructions like the F-150 link you sent and I would be good to go. Sorry for asking so many questions and appreciate you taking the time to help
I would try and see if you can get a set of lights from a take off bed so you have the tail light with bliss,not that you have or can use it but you will have the connection and the enclosure for the back of the light.You can look on ebay and online for companies that have these beds.otherwise I would use your existing harness and wire in the taillight there.the led light has its own 4 wires and you could fabricate an enclosure for the light and possibly try to get a 4 wire connector male and female which you could use to bring your existing wiring together with the taillight wiring.
I was going to order s set online possibly Fairway Ford. You seemed to have it figured out. If I get 2 pair with the Bliss I would need to order the harness you mentioned. Then I get lost. Do I unplug my factory halogen harness and remove it totally? Then route the harness you mentioned HC3Z-13A409-C in place of my old harness? Then I have to change to wires in the pin connector right? I assume the pin change would happen on the harness on the truck right? Not harness HC3Z-13A409-C? Am I the right track? If so could I get a drawing of the wires and what slots they go in? I know I have been asking alot of questions and I apperciate your time and patienance. After all that the lights in the dash would blink normal? Thank you.
if you got the led w/bliss then yes you would remove the existing harness and replace it with the harness number provided underneath the truck you would switch the wire/pin position of 2 wires on the new harness.I used forscan (free software) to eliminate any hyperflash of the dash lights.
Ok I just ordered the ones with bliss as well as the harness. Can you explain the pin switch in a step by step detail please? As mentioned earlier Im a little intimidated. Whats the code on forscan? Yikes!
Oh man. I received mine last Thursday and they are just in the box. I was wanting to tackle the tail lights and was hoping you could help me with a little step by step. I have the lariat with halogens. What was yours? The whirring harness you gave me the part no. too is on back order. I already downloaded forscan. Do you have the Amazon scanner in the link you sent me by chance? I was hoping you had your headlights in to see if Raptor's Harness was working so that I could move forward on mine. I just need help with the tail lights. Still a little unsure on how to remove and move the pin/wires and using the forsan to cancel out the hyper flash in the dash.
I will give you whatever help you need.I have the bt scanner as well as wifi scanner.bt works better in my opinion. if you get your tailights first I can prob walk you thru it.I can pm my phone ,too bad your not on long island.If you would be willing to send a headlight or lights I can get the harness figured out in a day and would send them right back to you.apparently no one has them and they are backordered
