2017 Ambient Lighting No Longer Above Glove Box?!

I ordered the parts last night and was advised today by Tasca that the light bar is on backorder with a current release date projected to be November 16. Since I wanted to get the harness while it was available, I called them and dropped the light bar ("lamp assy") off my order so they could send the harness--they won't split shipments. The Tasca customer service was very helpful, though I did notice they are selling the part on their ebay page with no mention that they don't actually have one and that it is backordered. When looking elsewhere online for it, one discount part source checked and told me it was discontinued so they could not get it. I called a Ford dealer that advertises online and the parts guy said he would look for one. He called me back and said he showed 3 available in dealer inventories nationwide, so he ordered one for me. Hopefully I will ultimately be receiving both the light bar and the harness now, though I imagine they are going to be available out of wrecks pretty much forever.

It is a straight drop in. There are a couple options you can do.

1 - factory type install where you have just the 3 lights. L & R Footwells, and above glove box.
2 - Add on. Splice the new harness into the old and gain 2 extra LED lights plus the glove box.
3 - Add on. Make a female to double male molex wire Y harness. Where you plug the female into the console harness and the male plugs into the 2 LED harnesses.

Pop out the plastic filler above the glove box, snap in the new light bar. There are 3 long tabs holding the filler piece in. Pull the glove box and you can reach them easily.
The wire harness plugs in the left and right footwell lights and the dash light bar. If you want to route the wire the same as the original then you are going to have to pull the center console.
Then plug in the harness where the old harness is. Passenger side console, behind the side cover. The plug is the middle one.

So to recap, you need:
BE8Z-13E701-A Light bar
BE8Z-14A411-A Wire Harness

I chose to make a y harness so I can use the extra LED for the glove box, plus I can return it to stock if needed.

I received the wiring harness a couple of days ago and if the UPS gods are with me, I should be receiving the dashboard light bar today, hopefully intact since these parts are evidently somewhat scarce at the moment (but surely plentiful in wrecked cars and very easy to remove). From looking at the harness, I will try first simply to install the new harness in place of the OEM 2017 harness, rather than fashioning any sort of sub-harness. I won't know until I get in there but it really does not look like it will be that hard to access. It looks like I will have an extra LED that Ford used to light the glovebox on pre-2017 cars, though I am not sure if that one was somehow switched which might mean the 2017s are missing yet another part. If so, I'll just tape over the LED and leave it tucked under the dash. I'll report back how it goes.

Since you went from 1 female to 2 males which wires did you connect to each other to convert it from 1 into 2? Or did you just bunch them all up? Sorry I'm not good on wiring lol
