I want to go a similar route...I have a 2022 Lone Star with non LED tail lights without the blind spot option...have been looking at the aftermarket LED tail light housings...they all say they are direct replacements. When you changed yours out...did you go from non LED tail light housing to a LED tail light housings...and was the electrical connection the same? Also I want to go the aftermarket blind spot route...you mention removable blind spot covers...do you have a link to the tail lights you purchased? (I've already purchased aftermarket rear view mirror glass with the blind spot indicators and I can get them to light up during testing). Also did you have to make AlfaOBD changes for the LED portion of your upgrade?
I have the Red Tails with BS and was looking at aftermarket for the black set. I'm just worried about leaks, especially with the sensors. How long have you had them? Got link as well?
These are the lights I ordered. If you look closely, you'll see the cover in the pictures. It's pretty flimsy, but doesn't matter because you'll just throw it away. The price went down considerably since I ordered them! What a deal.
There are other OEM-looking lights that do not provide this removable cover. I ordered them first and had to send them back.
I had the standard BH halogen tail lights and these were plug-n-play. Just be sure to pay particular attention to the sockets in the BSM connectors. A few of them were loose and pushed away from their pins when I plugged them into the BSM. It resulted in errors and head scratching until I traced it back and reconnected them. Then everything worked and no problems.
I did change all these settings in Alfa.

I've had the lights installed since November 2022. I did install some thin weather stripping around the inside lip of the top and leading edge. This will prevent water from being driven behind the light when you are driving. The OEM has this installed already. I've had no problems with moisture in the lights.
Anyone happen to know the connector id for that xy400 chassis left connector on the 2500 model?
