Would the Ford ESP extended warranty cover that? If you add the LED add on?
That’s a scary amount of money for a tail light. Starting to reconsider purchasing

2023 Lightning
Just brought a new Lightning home and am a little sick to my stomach as I begin to understand what I've just opted myself into. Great to mostly sidestep that $5K scam, I mean bill. All that said, does the EBay replacement assembly come with its own sensors/ electronics? Was the successful procedure to swap back to the originals or to go with what came with the lens? Thank you.
The Ebay assembly I bought did have its own sensor, but the truck did not recognize it and threw an error disabling all the proximity goodness. Solution for me was to swap the sensors. I did not contact the dealer to see if or how much they would charge to program a new sensor.

I did this also. Used my original sensor, installed it into the lens housing I got from EBay, and everything worked with no programming or issues.
