Default 2017 Grill question

So I finally got around to swapping grills out. My question is regarding wiring the raptor style lights. Directions suggest tapping into parking light wiring, but I have factory led’s. I guess I could tap into fogs, but I was hoping someone had a better idea.

I love that grill. Did you have a shop paint it? I want to put that grill on but have the forward facing camera and am thinking it wouldn't work.

Wouldn’t tapping into the fogs mean the grill lights would go out when your high beams turn on?

Not if he's bambi-modded the lights already.

I really like that new grille though!

Looks good. I tapped into the park lights and have the Factory LED's. No worries.

That looks like the grill that member go-on3 had custom made about 3 years ago.

It's widely available on eBay, it's a variation on the GalaxyMoto grille I got 2 years ago with a horizontal bar and an emblem mount added.

Not sure if you're referring to the @go-on3 grill but it is a one off custom fabricated grill. There is not another one exactly like it. I'd say any others that look like it copied him.

I agree that go-on3's grille is unique, I was just saying the grille 09stx installed is the same as my GalaxyMoto grille which was reintroduced recently with a horizontal bar and an emblem mount. Whoever manufactures that grille may very well have copied it from go-on3's design.
