I have ordered the Raptor style grill LEDS. Those of you who have installed them, did you wire directly to parking lamps or the brown wire that is always hot with ignition on in upfitter bundle. I have LED headlights. Thanks
 
I bought the wiring harness from starkey products and it made it easy.

I will add though that I had a hell of a time following the instructions. The air box had to be removed that the twist lock connector that holds it down did not come easy. The headlight plug is also on the VERY bottom of the light itself and cannot be seen from above. I used a flash light and my phone to take a picture of the condition and then removed it by hand blinding from above, connected the adapter and then blindly plugged it back in.

I will also add that it was WAY worth it... I love the look.
 
Oh almost forgot, the bottom trim piece on the front side of the grill had to be removed in order to get to the two bolts underneath that anchor the grille down. Those were also tricky... I thought I was going to break something but kept prying anyways and once the first clip busted loose it kept coming easy after that.

I can't make up my mind. There comes a point where to many accessories look like someone got a Pep Boys Credit card.
3 lights or 4 ..
Clear or Amber ..
or, not at all ..

please allow me help lol,

4 and amber

At least that was it for me... The amber cab lights, the amber lights in the LED headlights and the mirror
lights just makes the amber in the grille fit and POP.... that is just my opinion though. I just done mine a couple weeks ago and after doing it the only regret i had was waiting so long to do it.

Hey @Lunch Box - I installed mine to the first upfitter switch. It does shut off when the truck is turned off. Here's some of the install:

 
I went with 4 white from F150leds.com. Wanted amber but they were out of stock. Ran them to the up fitter #1. Super bright at night. Actually put light onto the ground by themselves lol.

Where did you order the raptor grill LEDs? That will be my second mod when I get my tremor.

I used the Starkey Products plug and play kit. I went to the drivers side headlamp.

I used the Starkey products plug too. It seems like when you use this, the grill lights are only on if the (nightime) headlight are fully on. Meaning when the daylight running lights are on, the grill lights are not on.

Situation - Grill Lights Status
Lock / Unlock / Parking - ON
Headlights On via Switch - ON
Headlights On via nighttime auto - ON
Daytime Running lights - OFF

Is that the same thing you experience? I noticed the other day pulling up to a glass sided gas station they we not on during the daytime.
 
I ordered the Starkey but did not utilize it and will be returning it. I wired directly to the solid brown wire in the upfitter bundle, that is hot whenever the truck is running, but is not one of the upfitter switches. My Raptor lights are on anytime the truck is running which is what I like.

I also used the harness, but accessed the light from the bottom, didn't have to remove the airbox. Did it by feel, it was a lot easier than I suspected it would be.
