I would bet money they would. I can't see them making the housings different just for the raptor.

Im sure theyd fit also, but I'm sure you'd need some kind of special wiring harness to make them work.

I don't know about that. The truck and electronics are the same, it wouldn't make sense to have a special harness. And the light itself isn't anything special. It's one projector, one reflector and at turn signal. And I can handle any wiring I would need to do. :-)

Depends on the bulb they put into the Raptor projector. If it's a halogen, then yeah nothing new to add on. If it's an HID or even some LEDs then you get into ballasts and relays.

It could end up being the same situation as the 09-14 F150. If someone bought OEM HIDs and tried to put them on a halogen(H13) truck it wasn't plug and play. You have to purchase a relay harness Here to get the H13 system and the OEM HID system to work together.

I suppose only time will tell though

I assumed looking at the pic it was hid. On the last gen trucks you need a special harness to make the hid's work in a halogen equipped vehicle.

Just FYI, that's a picture of the Chinese Raptor. Getting parts made for them might be near impossible in the US. However, they will be built here in Dearborn and then exported to China...

According to the parts guy at my local ford the 2016 Raptors and the 15-16 F150's with the stock LED headlights have a completely different wiring harness than my 2015 XLT.

That's not really a big deal though. I can make a wiring harness pretty easily.
