That’s my plan. Lights are fine fortunately

The lens shape is not changed as far as I can tell, but the connector is changed, see below. White connector is 2013-2016, Gray is 2017+. Both look to be 3-wire (Power for each bulb plus commons ground, I assume). Figure I will splice in the existing pigtail to the new hatch.

Thanks for the detailed response! Sure looks the same other than color. I’m going to go ahead and order it once I confirm my cars lights mount the same way. Swapping the lenses does indeed looks very easy.

I was involved in a minor collision where a knucklehead hit me from behind at low speed, denting the rear hatch. It opens and closes fine but is cosmetically ugly. I was going to take it to a body shop but I found a complete hatch on eBay in the same color. It is from a 2013, mine is a 2017. The seller says it won’t fit a 2017 because “the lights are different”. A review online shows Ford changed the styling of the lights but they look to be the same shape. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?
