Interested in the fix action.....I too am interested in making the switch to the '13 taillights.
Especially if I can get them for the $450 OP paid!
Anyone with a 2013 want to open thier trunk to see what thier harnesses look like...

No. I took the '13 piglight apart and tried to wire it into the '11 body harness. I got positive results (brake lights turned on, turn signals flashed) but did not go through with the install because the lights did not work properly (turn signals all flashed at once, not sequential, and they blinked WAY to fast indicating I had something wrong) and they drained by battery so I have given up for the moment until I can find the '13 wiring harness schematic.

Hi Matt,

I think this is what you are looking for. I downloaded this after entering a confirmed 2013 VIN we use when pulling diagrams up. Its from an early production 2013.

Its worth noting that even though Ford may have an official diagram, the pin-outs are usually, but not always, correct. Also if they make a mid-year change they may not update the wiring schematics to list both variations which will add to the confusion.

Hope this helps,

- Jason

Thanks Starkey. Question for you - are you guys working on a wiring pigtail for the conversion? I have your V6 foglights wiring harness and LOVE it so I would be waiting inline if you guys were to make the pigtail I need.

Thanks,
Matthew.

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the support, glad to hear you like our fog light wiring harness! Keep in mind that we recently switched to a 5-year warranty on all products which is retroactive for past customers so if you ever have a problem, give us a call.

We aren't working on anything as of right now. To be honest I don't see it being something we support in the future unless there becomes a really big demand for it.

That said, if we start getting a lot of inquiries it may be looked at more closely.
