I could not find anything indicating the manufacturer of the OEM lighted running boards on your 1998 Ford Expedition but I am confident that they were not the Westin brand or # 27-0015-1815. It is possible that the Westin boards will fit the mounts you have now but even if they don't the kit does come with mounting brackets. The same goes for the connectors for the lights; if they don't work with what is already on the vehicle then they can still be installed with the included parts.
