I need a Lariat tail light with the proximity sensor

[txquailguy]

Some one evidently decided to cut too close to me when parking. I now have a cracked driver's side tail light. How much is a replacement going to set me back?
TIA

They retail for about $1200.00 and places like Tasca Parts.com are around $700-$800, plus they can't commit to a delivery date. I wound up gating one off eBay for $500.

New BLIS tail light can run over $700.00. Their not rebuildable...sealed unit so your buying the light with the BLIS.
Best bet is salvage if you can locate one.

You can swap out the bliss sensor. Try https://www.partrequest.com/parts/2020+ford+ranger+tail+light

Didn't realize that...thought it was a sealed system/light housing.

Yes the light housing is sealed. I have led so if it goes the whole assembly gets replaced. The bliss sensor attaches to that assembly as a separate part.

If the tail light of OP was mine I would remove it gets some cyanoacrylate adhesive liquid and weep it into the crack. It should seal it up and last a longtime

Someone did that to mine too. I glued it with model glue, then wet sanded it with 3000 grit Emory paper. It’s undetectable from new at this point.

Yeah they are expensive. Gotta replace one = your screwed. I can think of many more better things to spend that kind of coin.

and i believe they are serialized, so if you buy a used one, you gotta do something with the BLIS to get it to work happy with your truck

does this one work?

RP is correct. You will need Forscan in order to program a new bliss sensor. Op... Just reuse the sensor you have unless it damaged. Not only that the sensors are programed side specific as I have previously experienced. I have a thread on this from the past. Just search my threads.


Here are a few pics of my sensor drying it out from a cracked lense.

I bought a used tail light assembly and used the BLIS sensor from my cracked tail light housing. There are 4 screws that hold the sensor to the tail light.

I would have done that but the crack was subtle and I didn't see it until I saw condensation in the tail light. I attempted to seal it but didn't use the adhesive liquid you suggested. Anyway, a section of the very bottom tail lamp went out this week, that is why I am inquiring about this....time to get her fixed up. I may just file an insurance claim (need to get my windshield replaced too...). I'm also wondering about those pick-a-part places. We have a BUNCH of 5g Rangers running around up here in the Denver metro, I'm interested in how much a place like that might want for a used assembly if I could find one......

I almost did not buy my 2019 Ranger when I heard about the cost of replacing them. They are big and vulnerable.

Geico paid 1,200 for mine.
