How do the amber grill lights compare to the other main ones out there like F150LEDs and Signature Lux?

Ford Grill Lights They are the Ford Raptor lights. If you want Ford Factory Raptor Grill Lights, these are them. I don't know how they compare, I just know that I wanted the factory off white lights that are Amber when on, not anything else I'd seen that was white or amber or strip lights or whatever. That's just me.

they have one inteke with an opening in the fender, but thats for the snorkel version. Mine has the opening in the front, just like the stock one.
Thanks for the info. My only question would be how the meth control will work, because right now its done directly by the JB4 module I have.

That shouldn't change. I ran meth on a 22' ranger and used the controller that came with the kit, from SnowPerformance. But unless I'm missing something, you can keep using it the way you are now. DM me or email, if you want or we can keep it here. I'm [email protected]

In for the first 1200+hp RR! ?

Dang you went all the way. These things at 500 at the wheels are a blast 600+ yes even more. I did some spur of the moment off roading on my property around new years, as nimble as the truck is, a few donuts and power slides scared the poop outta me. Wasn't expecting it to be so lively and quick. When we came to a stop, I felt like Steve Buscemi on Mr. Deeds. Damn these things are fast!

Ah, didn't know these were the actual factory amber lights for the Raptor. So can you expound a bit more on " Some Grill trimming required." to install these on the RR?

Absolutely. I'm not good with hand tools or really much of anything. So please don't let my crappy workmanship take away from the product. A dremel and some patience (i dont' have, i turn it up to hear the rpm's) and it would be beautiful. Maybe if you decide to buy some, you will post some pics and install video.

Is the Fabulous box open on the fender side? I can't remember. They have a good system, dual filter. You're getting enough air, but can't get it out. So adding timing/fuel can only help so much. Adding the high flow downpipes will get the air out as fast as you're getting it in, then you can add timing/fuel. With tuning & your meth, you should be over 500/500. A minimum of 10% gain at the wheels you should pick up which at 418rwhp that's around 42rwhp, putting you at 460rwhp, again though with tuning, you should be knocking on 500 if not over with the meth. After tuning/DP's you'll be close to being maxed out until you get bigger injectors/HPFP. I'll say this, if you don't pick up at least 42rwhp on the dyno after being tuned, I'll give you a full refund plus 10%. Nothing to lose, and only Horsepower to gain. We're slammed with orders, pull the trigger.

How much do you think I will pick up with the downpipes, intercooler AFE Momentum cold air intake and Ford Procal tune? I am not sure if I want a aftermarket tune on my truck because it's my daily.

Anytime you change downpipes you should be doing a custom tune. The off the shelf ProCal calibration isn't designed to adapt to that additional flow.

No Idea with Procal tune, dyno I seen on it alone was like 30rwhp. Not at all being smart/rude, but I'd much rather have a tune that was custom developed for my vehicle, mods, fuel, elevation, driving habits/use, etc. VS a one size fits all. Guy in Alaska got same procal as guy in key west.

I get it, but as My daily I want to keep it simple. I know I am not getting the max out of the parts/ tune but bang for buck, fun, and reliability I think I am.

That Procal tune is a gateway drug. Before long you’ll be posting about ethanol content and good DA. ?

Downpipes that are kid tested and mother approved, Handcrafted in Detroit by FENFABrication. We've tested every bolt on performance modification, and downpipes are the biggest bang for your buck on this R code platform. With tuning by ZFG Racing LLC & fueling by Nostrum High Performance, these trucks are 500+ rear wheel ponies. Makes one heck of a fun daily driver.
Quickly threw a site together today, trying to group products for the Ranger Raptor that we've tested and that others aren't covering. Will be adding to daily.
I'll add some sound videos, my apologies, as I'm not very good with them or editing/splicing.
Site is https://dirtderrick.com/ & youtube is @NathanDirtDerrick
I'll be giving away to the subcribers.... tuning, injectors, transmission parts, ESSIM, intake, exhaust, charge pipe, amber grill lights, BOV, etc. (and you can make fun of me in the comments).
Happy to answer any questions on here or email [email protected]
Admin hope this is ok to post. Trying not to step on toes, just help the community. Thank you for creating this group and all of your hard work.

Derrick,
Need your help/input. About to take ownership of a new 2025 RR. Like others here I can't leave well enough alone and am looking to do many upgrades. CAI, intercooler, down pipes and Ford Procal tune(which I have already purchased). Not looking to make a race truck but more so looking to make my Raptor run more efficiently. Can you tell me if I am the right path to achieving this or do you see any downsides to my way of thinking??? Most likely CAI will be S&B, intercooler will be Turbosmart, downpipes will be SPD, and as mentioned tune will be Ford Procal. Again not looking to optimize, more so hoping all the mentioned upgrades will "play" nicely together (no error codes/idiot lights etc). Thanks for your reply and input. KM

Good morning,
Be glad to help out any way I can. The FP will get you a nice little bump (30ish rwhp), but if you're just doing it, not planning on custom tuning, you're not going to see much difference with your other mods. Save the money on other mods & put it into another aspect of your truck (audio, wheels/tires, LED wheel lights, etc.). Send me a dm or email [email protected], & we can go more in-depth on daily use, goals, towing, off-road, etc. Lay out some options that are best for you. Nathan

You went all in. Have you joined in RR anonymous groups yet? Hello, I'm addicted to upgrading my RR.....
