Amber Lights for top of Ranger Raptor grille?

[Pirategrad]

Well, if they won’t rework their stock to fit and are just going to provide guidance on how to mod them, it sounds like there is a market to resell modded, ready to go kits. I’d be slightly concerned about warranty if it requires user modification to the lights but it sounds like they have a pretty good reputation for warranty with their current product.

Thanks for getting that statement from them. So far all they have said is they fit and users have been happy with them.

They do not insert at all. Photo of test fit, but I also did flip it and tried the actual side. They are not tapered so doesn't matter, was trying to make sure the wire wasn't keeping it from pushing in. Confident the bit of red tape covering the adhesive is not the culprit. These clearly are not made specifically for the Ranger and should not be advertised as so. Disappointing considering the premium price. Hopefully they will cover the return shipping due to their false advertising.

how did you drill out holes to pass the wire through. I watched the video and it says use a 1/2 bit but it rubs and the bit rub o

How were you able to drill out the hole to pass the wire through. The video says to use a ½“ bit but it barely fits in the middle port and rubs. I worn off some of the plastic on the bottom edge. . The other two are a no go. I drilled pilot holes but I can’t drill out so that the connector goes through. Kinda PO’d because I should have done more research.

It's easier if you remove the grill. Removing the grill was easy. I saw a "how to" video on Youtube and had the grill out in under 10 minutes. With the grill removed you will see that the portion of the grill with the 3 light pockets is just a trim piece held on by a few screws from the back of the grill. With the trim piece removed drill the 1/2" holes from the back side. Then you will have to drill holes in the grill that line up with the holes you drilled on the trim piece.

check out F150 Leds said theirs would fit

that's what I am thinking about using. I like their product used them in my F150

Most people weren't happy with the fit. They are a bit too thick to fit deep enough in the pocket to sit flush with the front of the pocket. I'm that guy that sanded the housings down a little to make the rear taper down a bit so they fit all the way in the pockets. (2nd pic)

I prefer the four light kit from Indi Carbon. They just clip into the RRaptor grill. You can use glue if you want but not necessary. They are available in white or amber and with smoke lense. Took about 2 weeks to get them delivered.

I went back and forth and decided to use Aux 1. For no other reason than giving me the flexibility to turn off.

Thanks again Ranger/Hobb for the tip on the source.

Do you know if there are any detailed installation videos of the installation using AUX 1? I am brand new to this sort of thing and would like to actually SEE someone do this. Again, I have never done this sort of wiring before and am a bit hesitant.

Go go 7:30. The Aux1 wire is in a bundle of 3. Just unwrap the electrical tape and separate them, it will be the violet with green stripe wire, single strand positive.

Awesome, thank you. I will take a look at this. Again, I have never done this sort of thing and am a bit nervous.
