Was getting curious on how the 4th gen would look with raptor grill lights so I ordered some for a 3rd Gen from Seven Sparta(Amazon) and this is the outcome.
Cutting:
On the grill itself, I cut each of the 4 holes to a rectangular shape to match the size of the back rectangle shape of the led lights, this way I would be able to push the light from the outside in. In order for the lights to sit snug I had to trim everything except the 2 horizontal tabs on each side of the light(see picture). This would help the light stay put and avoid falling towards the inside of the grill when pushed or pressure washed. Once they were all in placed I pulled them towards the engine bay and held them with a bit of pressure using multiple zip ties.
Wiring:
I tapped into the driver side fuse box using the supplied fuse tapper. I chose the 10A IGN fuse which is 7 from the bottom up since I wanted the lights to be on when the truck was on to act as a DRL.
Tools:
Used a Dremel with 2 attachments.
1) Cutting wheel to trim all the tabs on the led lights.
2) Diamond bit to trim the rectangular shapes in the grill.
Here is a video I posted on YouTube if that helps you guys.
