Love your truck! I have a black 19 F-150 outfitted with the new gen2 tails from Morimoto. I had the Anzo's on before and these gen2's just blow them away -- very clean looking tails and super bright. I also have the boost bar and that thing lights up my entire driveway when backing in. Unfortunately, the passenger side tail is hyper flashing and customer service just told me to return them. I had to wait forever for them just like you so would rather not return them and potentially wait again for a new pair. Thinking of disabling it via Forscan and hopefully keeping this pair.
I’ve got the Led tails for 15-17. I’ve been wanting the Gen 2s just so everything flows nicer with the truck. You’ve got me turning on either to get the smoked or cherry red ones lol Happy you’ve finally got your correct lights though! Looks killer
Love the truck! I’ve been watching since the beginning. If you ever find time, an in depth wash and detailing video would be awesome. I have a 2019 F150 that I’m slowly modding but could use some pointers in the detailing realm. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
As far as brightness, which is bright/more effective, Gen 1 or Gen 2? I like the price on the Gen 1 and I don’t mind the difference of how it sticks out.
Great looking truck. All of your builds are clean. I’m curious to know what type of tire you are running and if they handle good in the rain and snow. I’m considering getting a pick up truck in a few months and I’m trying to get ideas for wheels and tires.
Nice upgrade. And thanks for the detailed video. A question though, do the daytime running lights come on automatically, when you start the truck, or you have to use the headlights switch to turn them on (dashboard on mode)? OEM taillights do come on automatically just as the headlights running lights come on without switching on the headlights. I was wondering if those aftermarket taillights are fully compatible with the OEM taillights? I have the aftermarket taillights installed on my 2016 Tundra and the daytime running lights don’t come on without switching the headlights on. They supposed turn on when you start the engine, without switching on the headlights or dashboard lights. If you haven’t notice it, can you please test it and let me know? I want to replace the current ones with Morimoto taillights on my truck. But I don’t want to get them if they are not fully compatible with the OEM taillights. Thanks.
The morimoto’s drl’s are wired to be on at all times. You have to turn “off” the drl on the menu in the gauge cluster for just the drl to be on. Otherwise, the headlights turn on as well. No the tails do not turn on with the drl’s. They are only on when the headlights or parking lights are on. I don’t know if many vehicles that the tails turn on with the drl’s.
Did you have to drill a hole through your license plate frame to pass the boost bar wire? Every install video I’ve seen has them using fake plates with no frame. Mine just came in for my Ram and just eyeballing it, it looks like its going to hit the corner of my frame.
Now you have had the Gen 2 XB for a while, do you miss the Valenti tails at all? I personally liked the look of the Valenti more and if you don't need the blind spot sensors, I think it is a cleaner look than the bubble out design of the Gen 2 XB's with that big useless black spot for a sensor you don't have. Another negative for my truck is that the gloss black elements would not fit with the rest of the blacks on the truck.
Did u have any problems with the 3rd break light, i wanted too get a set but was wondering If peoples are have water leak in the cab or with the hyper flash module do u need it or just go with tue light it self

I like this set waaay more then the last ones!!
I went with blacks on my white truck and they worked perfect, but the reds are super clean!
Tail lights are amazing definitely worth the wait! Color choice 👌
Very informative. Thank you. Been waiting for a vid like this so I could choose which color. Red it is, on Magnetic.
Been watching for a couple weeks now, just went and bought a 2020 Lariat! Excited to put some mods on it!

It’s worth it
Had em on my 16. Very good quality
Just received my xb 2 tails today! order them in smoked now I’m definitely returning them for red.
Both great colors, but the red is perfection.
Looks amazing, these are on my to do list!

Thank you! I have some older wash procedure videos but I plan to do an updated one soon.
If my trucks stock tail lights don’t have the blis would I still be able to use these??
As shown in the video, my truck does not have blis. Works with it without.
Super clean, both had a great look!
I’m impatient, I would have given up on them month one 😂
As far as brightness, which is bright/more effective, Gen 1 or Gen 2? I like the price on the Gen 1 and I don’t mind the difference of how it sticks out.
Gen 2 is by par the better tail. Better quality LED’s and overall package.
So dope! I want the clear lenses but I can’t seem to find them anywhere all I can find is smoked and red :/
What do you do with all your old tail light sets? Wondering if you resell them somewhere
They are sold
Wow great video! Very informative.

Thank you! All wheel info is in this video czcams.com/video/tkUHmyjjiVk/video.html
Those are way better, i just put mine on too love em!

You can drill wherever. I showed where I drilled in the video. And the plate cover hides the wire.
Beautiful truck ❤

I prefer the morimotos. More OEM look to me.
Looks great man! I agree the red looks much better! Love the f150 videos!
So those look like -18 wheels. How do you combat the rock slinging?
It’s inevitable, but my side steps help keep the debris down off the paint.
Thank you for this video! No you got me second guessing if I want to red ones. I still thing I’m going to buy the smoked. Your truck is super clean.
What’s size tires???

Did u have any problems with the 3rd break light, i wanted too get a set but was wondering
If peoples are have water leak in the cab or with the hyper flash module do u need it or just go with tue light it self
Haven’t had a single issue with mine. No leaks at all.
Awesome truck! What is that color called?
Thanks! Tuxedo black metallic.
Do you still have those Valenti tails? would you be interested in getting rid of them? :)
They have already been sold
Do the REAR DRL on the taillights work 24/7 or only when the headlights are one? I just installed these today and maybe I did something wrong.
Rear drl? The outter lights only turn on when the headlights are on.
@@Scoobyfreak86 so during the day they are never on? I thought they would be on all the time?
@adamsommer8777 correct. Stock tails are not on during the day either. It’s how every taillight is wired.
I guess could just turn headlights during day if you really wanted. Thank you
How much you selling the old ones for?
They have been sold already
How are you not gonna show the turn signals 🤦♂️
How are you not going to watch the whole video and see I did show the blinkers at 13:42.
