  • In this vid I show how to install smoked Recon LED taillights on a 2015-2019 Ford truck with the BLIS (blind spot monitoring radar system).
    For some reason on Recon's website they don't mention these are for the BLISS system anymore, but this is the part number I have, which I purchased on Amazon for around $550 back in July 2019.
    RECON 264268LEDBK

    I almost threw out the BLIS in the broken taillight. Your video saved me from making a costly mistake. Thanks for it.

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! Someone hit my truck in a parking lot. Only broke the tail light cover, insurance deductible would’ve been $1000. Ordered a new cover and was able to fix it myself! Yippee!

    man, i love you! I was about to purchase a new taillight after someone broke it for some random reason. Looks like I just need to buy some after market one with the BLIS support. Thank you for the video!

    Great video. Literally the best video on CZcams on how to install these BLIS lights by the average Joe. Cool that you got your 11-year-old helper involved. I will be doing the same! : )

    Beautiful truck! If you don't mind asking what's your suspension and wheel/tire set up! It's exactly what I'm going for.

      Thanks! Its 3.5 ready lift with 35x12.50r20 on 20x10s. Honestly it wasn't enough lift for the tire and rim combo so I had to cut more out from hidden areas under the fenders and behind the bumpers than I liked.. to stop the rubbing...and it still rubs somewhat

    Nice work on the video. I appreciate the informaton. Maybe do an update on the reverse lights? Do you have a link where to find them?

    • @madmanmcclain
      @madmanmcclain  Před 3 lety

      Thanks, and yes I need to do that, but the reverse lights are basically bright white LED lights like you'd see on a newer truck.
      part number is 264268LEDBK

    Did you install the RECON smoked lens (264468BK) or the RECON red smoked lens (264468RBK)? I'm am looking at doing the same thing to my 2018 F150 Lead Foot.

      I purchased the 264268LEDBK from Stage 3 and they do not fit my 2018 Lariat FX4, just FYI to anybody looking to purchase this. The BLIS portion holes do not match the drill holes on the lights. I kept mine and just put some sealer around it lol

      Oops I sure did, sorry about that. They're super bright white LEDs, much better than stock is all I can say

    • @madmanmcclain
      @madmanmcclain  Před 3 lety

      And I would've sprayed smoked them, even though it dims the lighting considerably, if I didn't have a broken tail light to replace. The cost of one new Ford housing was more than 2 new recons

    You should black out your Ford tailgate logo. You can find the matte black ones or satin.
