I got something similar not off Amazon and apparently they're a pain in the ass to install (took it to my mechanic friend) and one of them came out in that red color...but they are gonna send me a replacement.

Your truck looks sweet with all the lights! Yeah I just received my order last night so I’m going to install the lights today. It appears the wiring harness it came with is the exact same as the previous Gen’s raptor lights, so shouldn’t be too difficult.

Hopefully all of your lights work as intended and you don't get an off color one lol!

Well the install would’ve been super easy if I paid attention to detail . So I went to Autozone and purchased a Low Profile Fuse Tap and then didn’t buy the low profile fuses . I instead bought a different size that did fit into the fuse tap spot but when I went to start the car the lights turned on but the car wouldn’t start.

Finally, i realized what I did wrong and went back to autozone to buy the correct low profile fuses for the fuse tap and WALA. They work great!

Wiring was straight forward, connect the harness to the lights via the clips, then wired the black to ground and red to my 10A ING (Ignition) via low profile fuse tap.

The lights themselves are kinda cheap feeling, and aren’t completely flush with the grill but they get the job done.

Looks nice. I might get these to run as my drl since my truck currently uses the headlight bulb as its drl unlike the Trailhunters.

Yeah they weren’t that expensive, they are a little ghetto but not bad. But I do like them. They should look sweet at night also.

Did you get the orange or smoked lens? Wondering how much light is lost due to the smoked lens.

Did you have to remove the grill to install them?

I installed something similar from Amazon. I just discovered today that for some reason the raptor lights just come on all by themselves. I used the mini fuse tap and put it in where the instructions noted which would require the ignition to be on. The only reason I noticed it was I was at worked and parked outside my office. I was looking out the window and noticed they were on. The truck was off, didn't have the app open and didn't have the keys on me. It's done it two days in a row. They stay on for a random amount of time, less than 15 minutes from what I can see, then shut off.

God, I hate when one of these trucks comes at me in the other direction. Some of these light bars are dangerously bright.
