Hey guys, it's Sara with americantrucks.com. And today, we have a review and install of the G2 LED tail lights in chrome, fitting your 09 to 14 F-150 style side models. This is perfect for the F-150 owner who's looking to upgrade their tail lights to an LED and wants a style upgrade, as well with the chrome housings and LED accent lights. These chrome tail lights provide better visibility, thanks to their LEDs and they will outlast the life of your factory halogen bulbs. They are constructed from clear polycarbonate lenses with chrome housings, providing that aftermarket look that you're going for. They also feature a water resistant construction and are DOT-compliant, meaning they are legal for on-road use.So, as far as price goes, these come in at around $300, putting the middle-of-the-road price-wise when compared to other options. And for your money, you're getting the function of an LED tail light with the modern chrome styling that you're looking for.I'm giving this install a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter. It features a direct plug-and-play installation that can be done within 1 hour. So, with that said, let's check out our install.For this install we used an impact gun, but a ratchet will work just fine. And we use an 8-millimeter socket.All right, so the first step in our install we're gonna grab an 8-millimeter socket and, with the tailgate down, remove the two bolts on the inside of the taillight. You can use a ratchet for this but we're gonna use the impact gun, just speeds it up a bit.All right. Now you can grab the tail light and pull it straight back towards you. Once you have it exposed, we're gonna unplug both of the connectors.All right, so don't forget about this center one here for the reverse light. Now, we are reusing this bulb, so we can unplug this connector or you can just twist it out. And then finally, the bottom one. Press down and remove the connector.All right, so we are going to have to reuse these plugs for the connectors on our old tail light, not the actual bulbs themselves, just the plug. Go ahead and twist it and remove it. What we're gonna do is take the bulb and pull straight out to remove the bulb, set that aside. We're gonna install this on our new tail light. Go ahead and repeat that for the lower bulb as well.All right. So, now that we have these plugs out of our factory light, we can plug them into the LED connector here. They plug in the same as the factory bulb. And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna route this wiring into the taillight so we can get a nice sealed housing here. And then we're gonna work this plug into the taillight as well. There's a larger tab and two smaller ones, so line those up. And twist it into place. Go ahead and repeat that process on the lower one as well, working the wiring in. Again, we're finding the large tab, lining it up, and twisting it into place.All right, so, at this point, we're gonna mount our ballast. Now, I will say these do get a little on the warm side. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna mount these on a metal surface. You can choose anywhere on the inside of here that doesn't interfere with your tail light. I'm gonna go right inside this opening and go to the inside of the bed. I'm gonna go a little bit on the low side. You can mount these wherever, as long as you have this wiring harness exposed so that you can plug it in. Go ahead and repeat that with the other one. All right. Now we can plug in our light.All right, so we're just gonna twist in the reverse bulb first. Line up the tabs in the tail light, and then twist it into place.Next up, we're going to plug in both the ballast then line up the connectors...and plug them in. Make sure you get a good connection on here. Repeat that with the lower one.All right. And finally, the last two plugs. Line them up with the plugs and connectors that we installed earlier. And go ahead and plug them in. Now we can line up the tail light on the truck. There are three pins, there's a plastic one up front and two metal ones at the back. Make sure those are all lined up. And press your tail light into place.All right. Now that your tail light is lined up, go ahead and install the factory hardware. Grab your 8-millimeter socket and tighten it down. Repeat that with the lower mounting point, installing the factory bolts, grabbing your 8-millimeter socket, and tighten it down.All right. Now that we have our factory tail lights uninstalled from our truck, we can check them out side by side with our new tail lights here. Now, they do feature a few similarities. They both have clear lenses and our factory does have a few chrome accents. This new tail light has really stepped it up, as far as the chrome design goes. It has a fully chrome housing and it offers some LED accents, which is really giving you a more modern design than factory. In addition, they also feature a functional difference. This tail light is fully LED. So it's gonna be brighter and give you longer life than the bulbs of your factory tail light. So, with that said, let's finish up our install.All right, now I can repeat that process on the other side, starting with your 8-millimeter socket to remove the 2 bolts. Once the bolts are out, grab the tail light and pull back to remove it. Next up, you can start to remove your connectors. Go ahead and press down on each of the connectors and pull them out. And finally, grab and twist the center bulb and pull it out.All right, go ahead and repeat that process on your tail light, twisting out the connectors and removing the bulbs. You can set the bulbs aside, we will just be using the plugs for our new tail light.All right, now we're gonna repeat that process with our other tail light, plugging in these connectors here that we use from our previous tail light. And again, we're lining up the large tab to the larger opening, and then twisting it into place. Moving on to our lower connector, go ahead and do the same thing. Now we can get this installed.All right, now we're going to repeat the process of sticking our ballast inside the bed. Go ahead and peel off the double-sided adhesive. And again, we're just gonna fish these into the bed. We're looking for a metal surface away from anything that can get too hot. These aren't gonna get extremely hot but they definitely get warm. So we would rather err on the side of caution. And working our second one in there as well.All right, now we can install the tail light. We're starting with this reversed bulb. We're gonna line it up in our new tail light, and then twist it into place. Next up, we're gonna plug in both of the connectors for the ballast. Make sure they're fully plugged in that you hear that click. And finally, we are going to plug in the factory connectors that we transferred over.All right, now that everything is connected, make sure you're guiding your wires in here. You might wanna throw a couple zip ties on there to make sure they're all secure. Line up all of the posts on the tail light...and press it into place.Okay, now we can install the factory hardware into your new tail light. Grab your 8-millimeter socket and tighten it down. Repeat that with the bottom mounting point and go ahead and tighten this one down as well.All right, so that is going to do it for the review and install of these tail lights. And remember, for all things F-150, keep it at americantrucks.com.

Can’t get parts
I love these lights they look great. But one of the resistors fell off and broke right at the resistor so I can’t butt connect it back on. I talked to American trucks and they say they can’t get the part for me and to talk to the manufacturer, manufacturer says got to go to the retailer. I’m willing to buy the part I believe it’s my fault it fell off but they can’t get it for me. Just be ware that if you buy these lights don’t mess anything up or you will be screwed and have fast blinks. Amazing lights just wish I could get my parts.

Tail lights.
One was a little tight where the screw head of the housing of the light had to fit in at a angle. Where the tail gate is an it lips around. The other 1 was smoth as silk. So 90 out of 100 nothing perfect everytime

Great choice for lariats
These chrome housings look terrific with any car that has a chrome accent to it. Lariats in particular. The chrome really fits with the OEM style of the car, while giving a completely new look to the car. The LED light bars are very vibrant at night, and the brake lights are very bright. Really, these are awesome lights.

Very Clean
Been complimented multiple times on how the chrome looks nice with the silver color of the truck. Different, but very nice.

Thumbs Up for these taillights.
Lovin it. Great upgrade. Very easy to install. Even the back up lights were easy. Just use washer that came with original socket. Not the one that came with the new lights. It’s too thick. Otherwise I had both installed in under 30.

Excellent Upgrade
These taillights are a huge upgrade to the stock. I even had aftermarket led bulbs in my stock housing and these are much brighter. I receive compliments on a regular basis. No leaking whatsoever over a month later
