Default LED Raptor style grille lights

For the guys who have done this, which grille light kit do you recommend ?
I have been leaning toward the F150lifts kit or Starkeys.
Also can you mount it some where at the front of radiator and run wire over to passenger light instead of feeding up under hood and back down to light?

Run the wire along the hood, underneath the heat/noise shield liner thing and loop it with slack around near the hinge so nothing binds. That's what I did with mine. I'll eventually remember to put pics of my parts and install on my phone for easier viewing.

I also used some amber marker lights from the local parts bin and some scrap flat stock to hold it in position

You can kind see where the wire runs in this photo, but not really. I'll get better photos if you'd like.

Thanks, I see it going off to the side. Yours turned out great!

I bought the kit from Stage 3 Motorsports. Install was simple although I did not use those vampire clips that came with the kit, I cut and soldered my connection. I also ran my wiring above the heat shield, just be mindful at the hinge side. Tie it at the hinge so it can't get caught and pinched when opening and closing your hood.

I went with Starkey and couldn't be happier. The only thing is I wired them with an switched accessory so the are on all the time.

I had it set up that way at first but I wanted them on during the day with the DRLs. Can't wire them up with the DRLs because they are actually the blinkers and didn't want the grill lights blinking. Lol

I ran mine inline with the running lights using the side marker in the headlights. No chance of flashing with signal lights
