Just installed the 2023 F150 bed light kit. Install was exactly as described. What took the longest was creeping around under the truck strategically zip tying the wire out of the way. Lights are fantastic. Video was great!

I think that there is an alternative install on the 22 F150. If you have the light on the tailgate, you can tap the wire on that harness and not mess with the cab light or headliner. I followed the harness and tapped inside the tailgate using all the parts your provided. WIth your kit, you end up with a bunch of extra wire, but it seems to work nicely.

Does this kit come with a bed button/switch to turn them on/off from the bed like the factory ones have?
@StarkeyProducts Жыл бұрын
Hi Kyle - this kit does not - it is meant to be controlled with your key FOB (on unlock) or with the cargo light button on your headlight switch. Adding the Ford switches increases the cost and requires customers to visit the dealership service center and have the truck reprogrammed. We decided to go the simpler route for those reasons. Thank you!

This looks all good and well, but the factory lights have a switch next to the left side light to turn it on and off. I want the functionality of manually turning the lights on/off and have zero desire to have them light up every time the doors open or you unlock the vehicle. Do you have an option for the switch, this also would allow you to tap a MUCH closer power source and not have to run 20 feet of power cable... let me know.
@StarkeyProducts Жыл бұрын
Hi Troy - Unfortunately no option for the switch at this time. Early on (we have a product that fits the 2015-2020 F150 as well) we found the majority of customers don't want the extra complication of the installation or expense. If you want it to truly operate like factory, installing the switch actually requires you to run wiring to the front of the truck (further than we do). Additionally, a trip to the dealership for reprogramming of the BCM is required for OEM functionality. This is how Ford does it in their 2015-2020 kit. They do not currently have a 2021-2023 kit available but may have something for you soon. Good luck!

I read your claim of compatibility with the F-150 Lightning, but it has me scratching my head. So, after routing the wiring harness through the pass-through, where does it go? There is a huge battery pack and acres of steel skid plates and plastic side shielding; neither is present in an ICE F-150. How would I snag the end of the harness, and what safe and accessible route exists to take the harness to the rear of the truck?
@StarkeyProducts Жыл бұрын
Hey Ralph - Both trucks (Lightning/ Gas) share the same frame, so the wiring routing is the same for either. We show running it along the passenger side frame rail which runs all the way to the truck's rear. The batteries are nestled between the rails, so they do not get in the way of running the wiring. We have many Lightning owners successfully install the kit.
@segc808 Жыл бұрын
Your setup and install for my '21 was a lot easier. How come the change for routing on the '22 and up? I went with an aftermarket 3rd brake light on my '21 so tapping in to the plug is moot for my current setup.
@StarkeyProducts Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, Ford changed the configuration of these trucks mid-way through 2021 models and it required a re-work of the existing setup. I can understand the hesitation in taping into a wire. The nice part about this is they are low amperage draw lights, and the tap is within the cab and out of the elements, so the possibility of failure is extremely low. In fact, we haven't seen a single failure from these yet. The 3M T-Taps are definitely the way to go when you do have to tap a wire.

So this was done on a full 4dr SuperCrew . . . My '22 F-150 is a 4dr SuperCab with the opposing "suicide" half doors - my rear seat back does not fold forward to allow access to the C pillar, ground connection, and the pass-through from inside the cab. Any thoughts on how to handle this install ? Shame on Ford for not having bed cargo lights standard on the '22 Lariat, when it was on the '21 Lariat (and all the literature and the Build website when I ordered the truck on 01/03/22).
@StarkeyProducts2 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris - On the 2015+ SuperCrew and SuperCab (aka Extended cab) the passenger side rear seat DOES fold forward with a factory pull handle. This is where Ford stores the factory tool kit/ jack. Sometimes the handle gets tucked behind the seat. However, none of the driver-side seats have a factory pull for 2015+ F150's. In that case, there is a great company that sells a release pull handle for the driver side. builtrightind.com/products/builtright-industries-ford-f-series-rear-seat-release-kit But again, this is not needed to install our product since we access behind the seat from the passenger side which Ford started including a pull handle on in 2015+ models. I hope this helps!

Josh - we use Deutsch-style DT connectors for these connections. They are considered to be reliable in harsh environments. We have been using these for close to 10 years on various applications in this same area (under the tailgate/ rear bumper). Very rarely have I ever seen failures due to water intrusion, and most of the time that is due to the connector being submerged. These are considered the industry go-to connector for under the truck and many of the big names like Rigid Industries use them as standard. You won't have any issues! Thank you!
