Product Description
Lincoln MKC 2015-2019 Brake Light Surround, One Piece of Polished Stainless (BL55640)
Small accents often do the most work, and a brake light surround is a good example. BL55640 is a single piece of polished stainless steel that QAA catalogs as a brake light surround trim for the 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC 4-door SUV. It outlines a brake light in bright metal, so the back of the MKC gets a crisp, finished detail every time you touch the brakes and every time someone walks past.
Fit check
Vehicle: Lincoln MKC. Body: 4-door SUV. Years: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. That is the complete fitment QAA lists for this part, and the Fitment tab shows the row exactly as cataloged.
What a surround is
A surround trim is a frame of bright metal that follows the edge of a feature, in this case a brake light. It does not cover the lens; it outlines it. The catalog does not say which brake light on the MKC this piece frames or give its dimensions, so please check the product photos to see its shape and where it sits. We are happy to confirm by phone.
Material and origin
QAA makes this piece in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes it to a mirror finish. That means metal all the way through, rather than chrome plating on plastic. Grade 304 is one of the most widely used stainless alloys for exterior trim, and 26 gauge is the thickness of the sheet.
Installing a single surround
The surround comes with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape already applied and installs directly over the existing surface. No drilling, no removal of the light. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the paint. Because a surround frames a fixed shape, alignment is easy to judge: the trim should follow the outline evenly all the way around. Clean, dry-fit, peel, press. The Installation tab covers prep and temperature.
The MKC trim family
QAA lists ten companion parts for the same 4-door MKC, so this surround can be part of a larger plan. There are three pillar post kits, PP55640 with four pieces, PP55641 with six, and PP55642 with ten; the catalog does not state how they differ beyond the count, so compare photos or call. For the sides, AT55640 is a six-piece body side accent at 1.5" to 1.75", and MI55640 is a six-piece body molding insert kit at 1.25" to 1.75". Since both work along the sides, compare their photos if you are choosing between them. QAA also lists GC55640, a gas door cover, LP55640, a license plate bezel, and rear deck, rocker, and other listings. The Fitment tab links them all.
A low-cost first step
If you're new to trim, a one-piece accent like this shows how QAA's polished stainless looks on your MKC before a bigger kit.

Installation tips: Brake Light Surround Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
