Tapped into fuse #40. Says it is trans ign (15a). The one you are holding are the ones I got. That looks like a good place to mount them. I’ll get a pic at night when it gets dark out and post

aw thanks man!... the dont look too too bright.. but i like it.... yeah that space above the grill is 14'..... i was talking to a buddy.. i'm like the raptor lights are spaced further apart... i dont want it to look dumb... he's like you dont drive a raptor!. lol.. .. i'm going to do a cardboard mock up prior to install.. ..but they fit perfect in that slot.. and it will be easy to wire and drill.

thanks dude.. appreciate the response!

It’s the angle. They’re a lot bright than they look in that pic. They don’t give you any usable light. But they do look good. Not a very good pic of them. You’ll be happy with them. I recommend ordering a couple extras for spares. I’ve had 2 burn out in 2 years. Also when you tighten them down. Put some silicone on the nuts so they don’t come loose. I’ll get a better pic and post. Post some of yours when you get it done

7” OC is the spacing for the raptor lights if anyone is interested. I used to make a bracket for f150s back in my ford days.

yeah if it do it.. i think it will be 3 1/2 - 4 ' spacing on mine... at the top of the grill in the pic i showed.

Looking for some input. I picked up some amber led lights and was going to integrate them into the chrome piece on both sides of the grille. Can’t decide if they should go on the outside edge or the inside edge. I’d be doing at least the 4 if not all six of the corners. The problem is the bottom two only have enough space to put them on the inner part of the chrome edge. What do you all think. Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes that’s correct. You can position them any way you want on the grill and peal and stick them with weather proof 3m double side tape on to the grill. It looks very clean. I found them on YouTube looking for amber marker lights. They come from F150led.com, search raptor style lights. You should be able to find a 10-15% off coupon. I got mine for $87 shipped. The guy does an install video on YouTube.

I’m really interested in this kit. Did you splice yours into your marker light or daytime running lights? Any pictures would be awesome, I’ve never done any type of wiring before but those quick connects don’t look too bad!

I Hooked them up to the trailer fuse #15 in the X50a fuse box under the hood on the drivers side with an add a circuit. I am against splicing into the factory harness, so I bought an “add-a-circuit” which allows you to tap a power source in the fuse box without effecting the factory harness.

That sounds a lot cleaner, so you connected the power wire to the add-a-circuit and just grounded the other wire?

Yep. I just found a bolt to the chassis near the fuse box

Perfect, thank you so much for your help! I’ll try this out soon.

Did you get these installed? Wondering how bright the 12mm LEDs are compared to the 10mm diameter.

man i haven't .. .. just not sure they are going to look right in that space... just so close together... .i also thought about putting 2 in where the tow hooks are.. but just havent made up my mind!
