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!

Just got mine done. No drilling or cutting required. Hooked them up to the trailer fuse #15 in the X50a fuse box with an add a circuit. Very happy!

That looks awesome Tech510. I’m always trying to do a Close Encounters of the Third Kind with my vehicles. My camaro had grille, trunk and footwell lights. There’s a lot you can do with a truck. On my

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

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. c1297a4cf5b3c91d6b414fbf0991e513.jpgf748132d2a6186adc85557384fe29d10.jpga1c7d015f8fb1002ffaf19e986dfa567.jpg

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?

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

      The Peckish Synapse

      By KARNUT · Posted

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
