Just my opinion, but I’m not impressed.

Thanks for posting... But, they don't appeal to me; Too flahsy :crackup: ... I actually really like the OEM design of the taillights on the BS; I replaced the bulbs with LEDs and I'm a happy camper. :rockon:

I like the factory head and tail lamps so much I probably would never consider replacing them. I would never add a light show to the back of my car. Enough slackjaws out there already looking to rear end me while enthralled by all the not-driving stuff around them. Basically everything is already an LED and it's not a big deal to swap a few bulbs if that's a "must" for someone. Way cheaper too.

Archaic is a đź’© name for a company tho...

I wouldn't say they're archaic. A lot of cars still incorporate halogen bulbs mixed with LED runners. LEDs come at a cost so a lot of cars, especially entry-level, are not expected to have LEDs all around. I do appreciate the fact that all trims including the base have LED headlights and front turn signals. And Big Bends and up have LED foglights. In exchange for halogens in the rear, you get full LEDs up front which is a good tradeoff in my opinion.

Not for me. OEMs are nice, and show up well in the dark.

Saw a post on IG of someone that changed them out. I actually thought they looked really slick on his build. But the price and shipping cost is way out of what I would even want to consider.
Like most mods, not for everyone but the one I saw was pretty slick.

Saw these few months ago. They aren’t as bright as the oem ones. I like being seen

Does anyone know if they will work with BSM?? I'm pretty sure the sensors are incorporated into the taillights?? I could be wrong on the BS.

I don't think the sensors are in there. I've removed mine to replace the bulbs with LED and the only wiring harness that goes into them is the one for the lights.

God damnit!!!! I knew this would happen with the tail lights! I really like parts of the Archaic lights, they do remind my of Land Rover in their boxiness and style. But they also border on rice racer cheesiness. I changed out to all LED and really like the factory style, but the Archaic lights are becoming appealing. The decisions I have to make now........

I would keep the oem lights. Ford has enough electrical issues. I wouldn’t add anything to possibly cause a problem. The sensors are in the rear bumper. Changing lights won’t affect anything. Give it a few months and they’ll be a bunch of Chinese branded ones for like half the price

I agree with most opinions here. Will wait for a cheaper variant to come through or for something to happen to my tail lights...
