I can't stand the raptor's god awful taillights. I understand the DOT requirement situation, but they look like something out of the chinese dot matrix catalog from 2005 for honda civics. I'm sure there are people that would love raptor taillights and willing to do a swap for the regular signature taillights. Anyone know if they are plug and play?

I’m thinking probably not plug and play. Rear quarters are different, blind spot sensor would be lost and differences in light shapes may be an issue. Like most things trying to swap something from a Braptor to Bronco or vice versa isn’t going to be easy

the BLISS is in the same spot. I was under the assumption the physical lights had to stick out further to see from certain angles but figured that wouldn’t impact the BLISS

We’ll that’s one problem solved unless the position of the BLISS doesn’t work perfectly with the different shape of the Fender.

Looking more closely at the differences it looks like the Bronco lights won’t fill out the lower outside recessed area in the Raptor fender. Also appears there is a “cutout” in the Raptor for the BLIS bulge (I have to admit I don’t love that bulge). It looks like the bronco light may mount, but depending on what’s under the newly exposed areas it may not look clean. I’ll pop mine off once it gets delivered and take a look under there, but i don’t get built for two more weeks.

I’m still trying to figure out if there’s space to mount air compressor under the hood and a winch solution, too much guessing without seeing the vehicle in person.

I wish you luck, I hope it works and looks as good as you want.
