2022 Timberline Tail Lights

[pikester24]

What's up everyone, hope you're all doing well. I have a '22 Timberline on order that should be here in the next week or two as it is currently in transport according to my dealer. My question is, does anyone know why the Timberline isn't offered with the LED Tail lights, but still has everything else top of the line when we added the 501A package? Kind of irritates me to just now find this out, especially when the Limited Stealth Performance package is the same price as ours but comes with the new LED tail lamps.

Thanks so much!

I ordered a loaded up 501A too (minus RES and engine block heater) Noticed the LED tail lights were not included and they certainly do look like a slick upgrade. Don't beat yourself up about it... I'd be more irritated if I ordered a Platinum and couldnt get a 440HP engine. In doing some quick digging, the new LED tail lights wont be plug and play, so I'll likely swap in a few LED bulbs and see if/when a trusted tech has a confident idea of how to retrofit.

Someone on the 18+ Expedition FB group took delivery of their 22 Timberline. It has LED taillights.

While both tail lights do have some LED components, the "New LED" tail lights referred to here on this post do not come in the Timberline. Attached are tail lights from a White Timberline compared to a White Platinum. I think I'll have taillight envy especially at night, which I do prefer over cases of horsepower envy and off road envy.

Well, they have to have something to offer for the '23 model year in six months ....

Appreciate it man. Hopefully it'll be here soon. Just one of those things, literally has every single other option, except the LED tail lights. Oh well haha.

There is a conversion harness available on EBay that will make swapping the twilight plug-n-play. It is currently for the 18-21 but I guess will be compatible with the 22+

That said, I thought about it and decided to keep my cheapo old style ones. I broke a taillight last month and ended up paying $300 to replace it. The LED ones are above $800. You also have to change the whole assembly if your LED stops working, rather than a $1 bulb replacement.

The LED ones do look cool though

Do you have a link to this wire harness?

Thank you, good sir! My searches had let me down.

Wow, $180 shipped.

I was concerned about the hot resistor pack at first, but then he explains in the description that you can do without it if you use Forscan. Great info!
