Greetings
I just uncovered the 179 in June due to heart surgery in April. I checked everything out and found that the LED taillights had partially failed. I ordered out new though the dealer. About half the led's had failed in each light. The lights are completely sealed including the back, so I don't think it was moisture that caused the problem. I did find that the back of the light had a gob of caulk attached to it in roughly the shape of the failed led's on the circuit board. I think the failure happened due to this caulk causing the circuit board to overheat. Led's don't produce a lot of heat, but I always drive with the lights on. I will seal around the lights with silicone but, remove the caulking. I think the newer pods use a different taillight. lark f-150 2015 R-179
