Sensor for BLIS is not located in the tail assembly.
The price of both the head & tail assemblies, have always been uber expensive for all model years 2010 and up.
Part of what's steered the owners as a whole, away from gutting them open & modding them.

I just don't see why the 2010-2012 tail lights are $150 new from Ford and the 2013+ are $900. I understand the 2013+ are LEDs and that makes them a little more complex. But that doesn't make sense why they're $750 more expensive.
To me, $150 for a tail light doesn't seem too outrageous from Ford. It seems pretty inline with all other newer vehicles. Even the $600+ headlights from Ford seems normal to me since they are projectors where the actual projector moves to make hi/lo beams. But $900 for a tail light? That's absurd in my mind.
If they do for some reason contain some special electronics in them, then it would make more sense. I thought the BLIS was in the bumper cover area but don't know.

A ***** ran a stop sign about 4 months ago I would say, he was delivering a T-Bone steak and I was the lucky customer to get it. It was about a month in the shop and the body shop did a pretty good job. I would go to the shop to see my red head under the knife twice a week. Just to make sure everything is going according.

Glad to hear that everyone came out ok Big. Hope whatever comes next works out for you.
I believe that's one half of one side of the taillight assembly ($150). Both halves (to constitute one complete taillight, L or R) will come out to at least $350 OEM.
Correct, I was going off the price listed on Ford parts for equivalent markers (see posts 30 and 31). The $150 and $900 price is the same for one side marker that goes in the quarter panel (no the part on the trunk lid). So for a complete set of 2010-2012 it's going to be $350ish and a complete set for the 2013+ is going to be almost $2,000ish. That's what I'm saying, why is a set of tail lights around $2k? LEDs don't justify that price increase, I don't understand it.

Hello Joe,
Your Red Head is Beautiful! Looks like the first SHO I test drove.
The SHO sitting in my driveway would look just like yours BUT the dealer LOW-BALLED my trade.
So I walked...

Hey SilverSHO, 900.00 taillights will most likely make our 013-up major targets for theft.
This is what the body shop told me, I really don't trust them either way.
The new shop explained it all to me this morning.I feel a lot better that I moved it from the INS preferred shop.

Thanks for the update, hopefully good as new. If Insurance enters vehicle into CarFax than you might as well put the Scarlet A on the hood.
