2025 Carbonized Grey Metallic Ranger Raptor Build

[ajs112]

I’ve gotten a lot of help from you all just reading through questions so figured I’d grab a list of everything I’ve done to date in case folks have questions! Pics for each mod are attached below along with some fuse box diagrams I was able to dig up - I think Jon52 originally posted.

1.) Wired Raptor Ambers to accessory power so they stay on while driving. The ambers from F150 LEDS. Beware as these were a pain to install and required some modification to the grille.

I’m curious what you all think about how they look wired to accessory power. I originally had it wired to the driver side trim light but wanted them on all the time so this is the route I went. If you all have suggestions on a “DRL always on” on option without FORSCAN use, I’m all ears!

2.)F150 LEDs ambiance lighting around the bottom.

3.) Installed front and rear dash cams.

4.) Trailing Arm sensor skid plate - driver and passenger.

5.)Ford OEM Bed Extender. (You can likely locate something better than OEM)

6.)Red inlay on Raptor badging on tailgate.

7.)Domed Carbon Fiber Ranger Inlay

7.) Reflective topo front FORD grille overlay

7.) Short antennae

Installs on the way:

1.) Carbon fiber caps for mirrors, hood and side vents from Indie Carbon

2.) Hood Strut

3.) Side vent lighting wired to driver side trim light

4.) Skid hitch with Red D Ring

5.)additional skid plating

6.) Red inlay for “Raptor” on running lords and running board hole fill.

7.) Will be polishing and applying ceramic coating next weekend.

8.) Ford Performance tune - scheduling with the dealership.

9.) Diamondback or Peragon cover when they are back in stock

Looks great! Where did you get the Reflective topo front FORD grille overlay?

Thanks!

Here’s the link to the one I picked up. It’s pretty understated and I haven’t tested out the reflective factor yet.

Looking good. Can you please clarify a few things about the grill lights, as I have a set but haven’t installed yet.

Isn’t the included harness supposed to run them with the drl? If not, when was the included harness running them?

When you fused them, specifically which fuse did you use? Did you have to pull apart the harness and rewire to piggyback them onto a fuse?

I think they look good. My only complaint was that I would prefer they were darker when unlit. If I install mine I will probably experiment with wrapping them in tint to see how it looks. Mine are white so they stand out a lot in the black grill.

Thanks a lot.

I didn’t get the harness, though that does seem intriguing. Should be the DRL solution I was looking for! Appreciate it.

Agreed on the brightness! The film is a good idea for the grille ambers. I’m waiting to find some smoked turn signals to add.

Anyhow, what’s included with the lights requires you to tap into the driver side trim lighting. There’s a good tutorial video here:



If you’re looking to tap them into a fuse, I used a fuse tap, ran the ground to the truck, and used fuse #124 - this should be the rain sensor utilizing a 5 amp fuse and should receive power when the truck is on accessory. I tested it out to confirm this was the case but it’s always good to verify for yourself.

If you need pictures just let me know
