i didn't know i needed one of these until now :) thank you for posting this!
Look for the “Softopper” brand. It fits a little better and has some better features in my opinion. But this one was 1/3 the price of new so no complaints!

Sounds good, I have these similar lights but have yet to wire them up. If you don’t mind, could you please let me know which one you use?

Used fuse f60, turns on with ignition. Works great grounded to on of the grounds next to fuse box on the fender.

Used 11mm lights from oznium and the surrounds holding them in place are actually drilled out 5/8 rubber feet from ace, looks damn near stock to me.

Close up lights will be amber once my fuse taps arrives.

I used these on my gmc, those things are crazy bright for their size and hide very well! Can you provide a better picture of a single light close up so we can see the mount?

Lots of vehicles have them (ford, Toyota, ram)

If they are OEM that's different. Added on it's just like the people putting lines of white LED DRL's on their corollas when Audi first started doing it. Just my opinion. If you like it then you do you.

This is one of the rubber feet I drilled out to make the spacer. Just drilled it out and filed just enough I could force the light into the hole. Then just squeezed the rubber into the grill hole. It’s tight, very hard to pull out, was going to add some adhesive but I really don’t think it’s needed. I like how it turned out looks real close to stock. I watched your YouTube in the light bar that’s going to be my next mod though I’m going to use a cheaper controller and sync it to the garage door opener. If you need a closer pick i can grab one in the morning and PM you.

I like that they can be easily removed and you didn't have to permanently cut up the grill! Cutting up my grill is what is holding me up from adding some Scat Pack grill inserts to my grill.

Also...
Please, let's not turn this into a "I don't like what YOU did to YOUR truck" thread...

To each their own but you could apply that logic to a lot of aftermarket mods. Someone started doing it people liked it and followed suit. I like the way it looks and didn’t by a Raptor because I didn’t want one but it doesn’t mean I can admire things I like about the truck or apply it to my own. Like you said you do you.

I let my truck get coated in a nice layer of ash from the fires. Looks like it'll never be clean again for the remaining part of the summer.

Stay safe out there! I work with a lot of people in those areas and most of them took their calls outside wed and thurs ahead of the mess that was about to drift to them and they no longer could go outside.

Can you imagine being the kid who’s gender reveal caused this? Crappy way to come into this world.

Thanks man, I will be okay as I'm not near them, but know some people too close for comfort to them. A lot of the local fires in Seattle area were started by some moron lighting things on fire next to the highways, and like you mentioned a gender reveal. That kid is going to be cursed!! Thankfully they caught and arrested the guy starting fires and a few others.
