RAPTOR GRILLE WIRING INSTALL: Step by step install on how to wire your 2016-2018 F-150 Raptor Grille 

Just looking at all of these amazing comments and just wanted to thank you guys for all the love. ⚠️Raptor Grille - amzn.to/3WahyNh ⚠️ ⚠️WIRE TAP'S -amzn.to/3yEcHGX ⚠️ Please let me know if any of the links stop working and I’ll update them. Take care guys 🤙🏻

Finally someone with common sense and didn’t skip over the wiring. Thanks man!

THANK YOU!!!!!!! FINALLY a real how-to vid. I've never seen anyone else on any wiring video explain in detail, show the full wiring connections or do it as simple as this. Good job brother !

Probably one of the BEST, How To, videos I've seen. Well done!

I paid off my f150 so now I'm making upgrades. And FINALLY a video that doesn't magically skip over the wiring. Thanks for the instructions. Very straightforward. Subscribed!

Finally someone who doesn't assume what they're doing is so easy and common sense that everyone should know all the details about it. Thank you sir!

I know this is ridiculous, but something as simple as this helps out so much. The last time I wired anything was on a '76 Camaro, on a hot fuse!! Lol, videos like these are top-notch and show little tricks that are great. I've learned how to repair my F150 sunroof guides (took 2 days), replace my a/c compressor (08 Accord-3 hours), replace my home hot water heater (couple hours) I could go on..... my point is I did it from content created by folks like you. They all deserved a subscribe, as you do. Thank you for your time!! You guys have taught me so much and saved me so much money over the years, I don't even know. 👌

It took a New Yorker to finally post the most important part of the install. Thank you sir...

I’ve gone through maybe 15 videos and not one showed this step. Thanks a lot brother, awesome vid!

Love the video watched dozens of others and could not find anyone do the wiring till urs! Shop said 2-3hrs at $95hr wow. Now im comfortable doin myself. Thanks👏🏼👍🏻💰🍻

I love how thorough my man is, sheesh. Now thats how you do it!

Thank you! Your walk-through for wiring was perfect. Besides being extremely helpful it is universal as I used your tips to set up raptor lights on my LR3.

Thank you for this! I don’t know why everyone skips this step in their Raptor grille installs!

Thank you for this, been holding off getting the lights due to not having a plan to getting them wired up.

For anyone with an 09-14 gen the wiring concept is the exact same, only difference is the grill stays connected to the hood. But, with the self splicers and connectors you listed in the description made this job so fucking easy. Got the lights hooked up and work. I have a 2010 fx2 ( it’s all I could afford within my budget) plus under 100,000 miles I couldn’t get a better deal for my first truck. But, I’m no mechanic by any means but, this job was very easy self fulfilling after I completed it.

Big thank you for showing how to wire the lights. I've ordered the wiring parts box (and it's a mere 9 dollars and change!). And I'll be wiring up the lights as soon as my package arrives.

Thanks... I've noticed that almost every video spends about 30 seconds on the wiring... It's like "ok yeah, you just plug this into the fuse box. So easy." Thanks for the detailed explanation about the most crucial part of the install

This is the perfect vid for installing those amber grill led. I like it to turn on when i on the park lights

Thanks brother! Appreciate taking the time to show the process! I like the wire kit rather than cutting the wires and using wire nuts. Much cleaner! Thanks again 🔥🤙🏼 - Mat

Finally! A good grille light install video! Thank you!

This is the best one i have seen yet on grill lights

Appreciate all tips! It about time someone explained in detailed. Thanks!

I’m about to drive up to New York so I can buy you a beer. You the man 🙌🏽

I been going crazy installing my lights tomorrow I hope will go smoother with the help of your video, Thank you !

Does it matter whether you use 22 or 16 gauge connectors?

Dude I've been trying different ways to run my lights for my Tundra grill for a year! This is the first video that actually explains the wiring and they work!!! You're the fucking bomb dude!

Just to echo all the other comments here, thanks for the great install vid! Like you noted, I'd not seen another video that covered this part of the install.

As we speak I got mine to work because of you brotha. You are truly appreciated

Just got a new grill with the LED lights... no installation instructions....Have been looking for help on the wiring...Great Video and instructions...thank you!

Thank you for this video. Did in 10 minutes because of this video💪🙏

Thanks man! Easy job on my montero

Great vid. Installing on a Ford Edge. Just wanted to check my thinking on how to connect the wiring. This was clean, simple, and to the point. Great job.

Really nice video man, I have a 2016 platinum do you think I can do the same wiring connections, or is it more complicated because of the trim model? Thumbs 👍 to the video

Positaps are the bomb diggity for wiring

I have a 2012 F150, would this work the same? And how would you do a “White LED” upgrade to the raptor grill?

I bought a ram truck with existing lights and grille but they didn’t really care for amber so I bought different color ones with same exact connectors but didn’t work so I ended buying different brand with same connectors but still didn’t work, the old ones still work and are wired correctly could it be the wiring harness ?

Awesome thanks! You helped me solve my AVS Lightshield wiring issue, plus I had those save wiring connections... bonus!

This one is a good video 👍 everyone else is slice and dice 🎲 and hopefully it works

I just installed the grille and couldn’t figure out how to do the wiring until I finally found your video! Thank you. One thing, I tried to find it in the comments before asking but didn’t find it. What is the specific name for those connectors? Gonna run to the store and grab them.

Good morning I really really appreciate you replying back thank you so much for that .I looked into your link and I see the t-tap connectors on where you purchased them:-) going to get this project going. sir you have been a big help thank you so much God bless you brother. Stay Gold 👍

Great info and perfectly explained, the intro music? Yikes not good Brah!!! but the info was top notch.

Well done, excellent explanation… Great camera work in a tight area putting your connections together. The only thing I would suggest is using dialectic grease in all the connecters 😎

Thanks. I got a 2020 F-150 hopefully its the same installation. As i am very green at installing a Raptor grill😮 one question how do you tuck all the wiring on the running lights? Are ya using any zipties to keep it from dangling around?

Great video. I decided to upgrade my grille lights to white LED. For some unknown reason, they don't work. Everything connects right, but they did come with extra wiring? What do you think?

Thanks for the wiring explanation and very true no one explains this important step ‘thanks for the vid helped alote

THANK YOU! Finally a proper wiring video on this

Hey, what gauge wire is it? I have a 2009-2014 gen and I need to extend the wire so it doesn’t hang from the top of the hood when the hood is up. Thanks for actually going in depth on how to do this.

Thank for this also! Great install videos!! I just did my grill using your videos!!

Thank you so much. I just hooked mine up today.

I know I’m a little late but you saved me🤣

Good late late evening. I know this video is 2 years old but First of all would like to say I appreciate your video and showing step-by-step. yes I agree every video that I have watched for the past 2 months or 3 months have all skipped the wiring of installing of the Raptor Grill. well I'm a lady trying to do this by myself lol. right now I'm having a difficult time trying to get the plastic clamp or I guess they're called the brackets? on the grill to snap onto the hood I have a 2009 F-150 XLT, but I'm sure I will get that part figured out lol, my biggest worry is I'm just very nervous about the wiring 😟.. my question is the red wiring Clips,where did you purchase those. as I said I'm a lady doing this by myself lol and I want to do this right the first time lol, so I hope my questions on Where did you purchase those little red Clips,what kind?,what size?,what brand? etc etc etc lol,gets to you. hope to hear from you soon. thank you sir:-)

Thank you so much for your video. I got it done under 30 minutes thanks to you man!!!

Hands down the best video I’ve seen great video

Thanks for the video, you explained this perfectly.

Great video, thank you. This may be a stupid question but does it matter if you tap into the right or left side headlight?

Man I’ve tried installing via quick splice & T taps on both sides and my lights won’t come on. However if I use a wire to run straight from battery to grill lights they light up. Any tips?

Does this keep the lights on when driving

What kind of terminal connector and the size? Thank you

Thank you very helpful

Thanks man.. So much video without the full wiring

Awesome video, works - thanks! Quick question: followed steps exactly, I did notice & curious if it happens with yours - when I have the hazard lights on, I notice the grille lights would dim ever so lightly on sequence with the hazards?

Is there a way to wire these to the fuse box instead?

How did you know which wire to tie into on the parking light? I bought the same grill for a 2009 f150 4x4

My amber grill lights stopped working out of nowhere. Checked connections, all are good and I tested pos/neg. All of my lights work to include DRLs I tapped into. Is there a fuse that I should check?

What's the Gauge Size? On the plastic connectors

Do you think my 2012 wiring will be similar to your 2016 Ford?

I liked and supported by subscribing,found this to be helpful. I'M INSTALLING the almost same grille in a few days on my f150,so this came at the right time bro...thanks.I found some quick splice connectors at o'Reilly's I enjoy doing it myself along with watching a few how to video's. Not many out there on subject ,there is now.

Great video! Does the wiring kit come with load resistors? Just seems like the 12v would be too much for the led lights over time..

Do the lights on the grille flash when you use your signal light? If you're tapping Into your parking lights and they're also your blinker, won't they flash when you signal?

Very well explain..thank you for a good set up and explanation..

I kinda did the same but I cut it and solder it 3 ways

Where did you find those connectors I’ve looked everywhere locally and cannot find them. Thank you

I accidentally had the black and red wire touch and it made the fuse go off. Does anyone know the location of DRL fuse in 2015 F-150?

Clutch video thanks boss man

A big thank you sir!!👍👍

Do they make replacement lights for these i like the white lights

Dumb question but, I figured I’d ask anyway. Did you take out the battery or disconnect it while you did the wiring?

Thank you! We needed this!

Thank you thank you!!!

I wired mine the same way. The lights turn on briefly when I lock/unlock then turn off. The parking lights stay on, but the grill lights light up and turn off. Any ideas?

I'm trying to do this on my 15 Platinum but that connector isn't there. I looked everywhere and the only harness going to that light is what looks like a 7 wire 16 pin connector and that's it. I has DRLs. Do I connect the raptor wires to something on that?

Gonna give this a shot on my 2019 today. I always wonder why they don't just make a connector that sits between the headlight and the wiring harness.

Thanks 🙏

Can we use the 16-14 awg instead of 22-18 awg?

I followed your video and it was great, thank you! What did you do with all of the extra length on the wiring harness? The one that came with my grill was really long. Did you just zip tie it and leave it off to the side?

Atta boy!

I installed using your perfect directions and thanks!! Question, the side marker light I tapped into is now dim. Did you replace your side marker lights with led or is your dim as well? Well done video!!

I did this and now the light doesn’t work and the grille lights don’t turn on. Fuse isn’t blown. Idk what the issue is. Any ideas?

Thank you so much boss

Nice! Great video

Since you wired these to the parking light wires, does this mean the lights will only be on if my parking lights are activated? If im driving at night will these lights come on with my headlights?

Awesome video .bro! Thank you much.

Your videos have been a huge help bud, appreciate it. Question though- how did you access/identify the parking lot socket/bundle? Did u have to remove the entire headlight assembly? Go through the wheel well? I’m stuck I can’t see how to access it.

I have a 2019 f150. Will this be the same?

Thank you! Good vid.

Have you seen the new Raptor grille with DRL bars at the bottom ?

Wil this be the same for the Ford Escape version as well???

Great advice

I ordered the Raptor grille from Summit racing . IT has 2 long drl on the bottom of the grille. The grille is not pictured on the web site at all??

One last question, were you able to hide the wiring? Mines is just hanging in the middle behind the grill. ☹️
