F150LEDS

[jazpdx]

WARNING! These lights require a 7/16 hole in a blind small space. I was successful on 2 then the drill grabbed and destroyed my grill. Their design required the large hole because of the large connector. Why risk it. Cut off the connector and splice. F150leds AI ass does not know if it voids warrenty, go figure. It is $350 bucks for a knockoff grill. F150 now knows this if they are willing to give me any compensation.

Those plugs are huge compared to the wires they use. I did cut off the plugs and splice the wires For my install.

Sorry to see the damage to your grill.

Yeah, echo same findings...was an early adapter; circa Jan 25.
F150 LEDs compatibility, fitment certainly not OE for RR. For instance, LEDs do not sit in slots consistently flush with/3M tape. Modification requirements to grill are 'ugly' and prone to permanent damage [ie drilling, filing].
Not sure if F150 LEDs redesigned to 'fix' fitment issues exist now; however, many more AM alternatives out there that seem better overall.

I screwed up mine a bit, mostly because I got impatient and did not drill a small pilot hole first as was suggested here. Fortunately a little black 1/2" rubber edging covered up nicely.
On the positive side the lights are nice and bright. Also look nice daytime unlit.

Installed mine ~ 3 months ago, they still don’t fit the outside slots. Center is fine but the outside ones taper and they don’t fit well.

Generally, F150 LEDs look good 'from a distance'... jus hate the unnecessary effort, mods required to do so.
I'm an attention to detail guy, so those 'imperfections' cannot be unseen

If you are unhappy with the flaw AND get no support from F150LEDs AND are looking to start over…

I ran across these while YouTubing: Moustas LED Grille Running Lights. They fit the grill recesses perfectly and they supply both white & amber lighting. And the price is nowhere near $350 although shipping from Australia now is costly. Total for me with tax was $207.

“Wimya” has a very good install video on his channel.

(Don’t ask me how my install went because I just received them and have not put them in yet.)

Mine fit perfect, yes the plugs are large. I never use plugs on this type of lighting, butt connectors and shrink tube. It sucks you damaged your grill but that’s on you not F150led.

How about the video that shows the guy using a 7/16 drill bit. Then I make contact with f150leds and AI person can not say cutting the connectors will void the warranty. Did you void your warranty, sir?

 

[dc73pdsgt]

I drilled pilot holes as the instructions stated to and had no problem with the drill jumping.

 

[jazpdx]

Well the Aussy's have the ticket. About 1/2 the cost and they fill the whole space. So I dont need a grill and they look far more gooder. Yes they tell you to remove the grill (easy) and drill from the back.

I have these... but have not installed,..I Looked at the F150's.. first and did not want to drill holes in my grill..and they are so overpriced, like all of there products..I decided to get the Moustas..from Aus. along with some other Goodies, all of the products are well made and have great customer service....

Ouch I removed the grill and drilled from the back side of the grill. I looked for some "how to" videos on youtube and saw that it only took about 10 minutes to remove the grill.

It is all in means and method. The instructions are one. Note, a bad one. Removing the grill another. I started this thread as a warning only to those who buy this overpriced product. There are better ways. Aussy's product Moustas, is the ticket. It fills the whole space, thus covering my f_€《_p. About 1/2 the price. Shipping is not cheap, but still less than f150. Enjoy I'm done, I hope this helps.
