Routed my wiring next to the upper radiator support, where the hood latch is. I just followed the wiring there and the hood latch cable over to the Drivers light and battery. I used zip ties, but waited to cinch them down until I was sure it wasn't near something hot or sharp. Only had to cut one off before I was finished with the location. Sorry, didn't take any pictures before I put the top shroud back on.
Found them at AutoZone, they’re “ATR” fuses, skipped right over them looking for micro2. I’m in business now, just waiting on my delayed LEDs.

All reassembled, will have to wait for tonight to really see how they look. But initial reactions are the DRL strip is much less obtrusive and looks good even with the paint matched grill on a black truck.
The chrome on the projectors is much more subtle and the housings are mostly black - less ‘chrome’ than the stock reflector for sure. It looks much better than I was expecting honestly. Also have the Lasfit LEDs installed so will see how they look.

As far as tips, the shroud on either side of the grill is a major PITA, I partially broke clips on the middle lower aspect of both near the grill. Both okay for now reassembled but will have to keep an eye on them.
The other thing I’m not sure if has been brought up is there is one clip with threads on each headlight that needs to be reused on the new lights, don’t worry if you forget it’s possible to get it on after the headlight is almost completely re-installed. Picture attached.

Which Lasfit’s did you buy? I was looking into the LA Plus.

I bought the LC6. Was like 60$ for 4 bulbs on eBay. All of their bulbs are cheaper on eBay, though. Still ship super fast, reach out to you to confirm fit, etc.

Same ones I bought too, doing my install tomorrow morning. They arrived within a day of ordering and their prices are definitely cheaper through EBAY compared to their site. How long was your install?

Install took me probably 4 hours, taking my time. I did it with a cheapo socket set, no wrenches, in my driveway - meaning literally anyone could do it. One thing I would consider if you have room is leaving the two fascia attached the grill. Partially broke both clips taking them off. Below post is where I saw it, would’ve done that if I saw earlier. Picture of my ‘workbench’ for laughs.

Watch video in post139 it shows where to install fuse tap.

Thanks; I must’ve missed that one...
Everything was normal for me.
It’s a fuse issue. I pulled the DRL wire and put all the fuses back to original and all my problems went away. Now I need to figure out a new fuse to use. Can’t use F38 or F60, it doesn’t like either of those selections. I have “F17-Air Suspension” which I don’t have on my truck, I’m only concerned about it drawing power and killing my battery. Any ideas guys?

Don’t do F60 my truck wouldn’t run with it there put it to F38 as recommended and it’s fine. Only problem is my projectors aren’t illuminating? Turn on my highs or lows and nothing. Turn signals etc work. I put LASFit H7s in there so wonder if they’re not clocked or something? They’re connected properly

Reverse connectors to the LEDs... They are polarity sensitive
