Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the RAXT596989 and the white-only Raxiom license plate light for the F-150?The RAXT596989 features a dual-color LED setup, emitting white light downward to illuminate the license plate and a red LED accent visible from the rear for a custom appearance. The white-only version provides purely white illumination without the red accent element.
Is the red LED accent on the RAXT596989 legal on public roads?Laws on colored vehicle accent lighting vary by state. The white illumination directed at the license plate meets the legal requirement for license plate lighting in all 50 states. Check your local and state regulations regarding red accent lighting on the rear of vehicles before installing.
Does the RAXT596989 require any wiring changes on a 2004-2014 Ford F-150?No. The RAXT596989 plugs directly into the factory license plate light connector on the 2004-2014 Ford F-150. No cutting, splicing, or custom wiring is needed for a complete installation.
Will the RAXT596989 fit both the 2004-2008 and 2009-2014 F-150?Yes. The RAXT596989 is compatible with both the 11th generation 2004-2008 Ford F-150 and the 12th generation 2009-2014 Ford F-150, including the SVT Raptor trim, as these generations share a compatible rear license plate light housing location and wiring connector.
Are the RAXT596989 lights weatherproof?Yes. The RAXT596989 features weather-sealed housings designed to withstand moisture, rain, road splash, and car wash conditions for long-term outdoor performance.
Will the RAXT596989 fit all cab configurations of the 2004-2014 F-150?Yes. The RAXT596989 fits the regular cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew configurations of the 2004-2014 Ford F-150, as all share the same rear license plate light location and factory wiring connector.
How long does installation take for the RAXT596989?Installation typically takes approximately 15 minutes. The factory housing releases with a trim tool, the connector disconnects, and the RAXT596989 snaps in its place and connects to the factory plug directly.
Do CANBUS error codes occur when installing the RAXT596989 on an F-150?CANBUS errors from license plate light replacements are uncommon on the 2004-2014 F-150 generation. Because the license plate lights are not on the turn signal circuit, there is no hyperflash concern, and most owners install these without encountering error codes.
Installation Instructions
- Open the tailgate for access to the rear license plate area.
- Locate the factory license plate light housings on both sides of the license plate.
