Yet another reason why I’m glad I didn’t buy one of these cars instead of my Crown Victoria.

I had to do both sides on my 2018 Taurus interceptor and it can be a pain taking out the leds lights to go back to the bulb ones. I just cut the connector off of the ones that was already cut and left the connector connected so it wouldn’t dry rott the plug. Unhooking the brown yellow and black wire connectors was the hard part. They took forever for them to disconnect. Also everyone make sure your Taurus comes with these optional connectors and sockets like mines.

I bought the sockets and bulbs from Amazon that you linked to and I have the new light wired and ready to go in, but I can not get the new socket to go in at all. I looked back at the end of your video and it looks like maybe you modified part of the new brown socket?

It's been a while since I filmed this video... I might have had to shave part down just a tiny bit with a dremel, if memory is correct there was something in the way, otherwise they would fit just fine

I’m pretty sure that is not standard lighting beings this car is police package equipment and these lights run almost constantly and that it’s why you are seeing that type of light.

in my quest to figure this out, I contacted Whelan with the part number since it wasn't on their website. They said it was a custom part they made for Ford. It was apparently on option on the police interceptors. But it's $458 per side! Versus $7 (bulb and socket) for my workaround

I think these were part of the police package so they can flash in patterns but also function for park/signal. I have never seen a police vehicle that was ordered with an led package leave alone higher trim level. Does yours have the full led tail lights?

when I was researching how to replace these, I reached out to Whelan with the part number asking why it didn't come up on their website. They said it was a custom part they built for Ford. Yes, they supposedly have wig wag features but since mine were all cut wires, I never tested to see what they could do - and when they decommissioned the car by cutting the wires, they probably shorted out the light - doing $458 damage in the process!

my biggest complaint with the vehicle is lack of visibility to the rear. I haven't had issues with PTU or water pump, but those are on my radar
