How to wire raptor grille lights
I have searched this forum, but I cannot find a definitive answer as to how to wire these 3 yellow lights so that they stay on whenever the truck is on? Is there a particular wire I could tap into to achieve this?

Reach down behind the passenger side headlight with a long flat head screwdriver, tap off the clip that holds the top parking lamp harness. This gives you slack. Use the wire tap on the brown wire from the parking lamp harness and red of the harness of the grill lights. Tape the crap out of it once spliced. Run the black to ground by the battery. I have a ground lug on my 16 xlt. Secure wires with cable ties and enjoy.

There's a thread out there somewhere where a guy lists the part numbers to make a harness. The plug for factory marker light in the headlight is the same as a bosch injector plug. I ordered the plugs from an injector site online for about $12. All waterproof and easily removed without damaging factory wiring.

Its easier to wire this than it is to separate the oem grill and inner grill imo. 1st, buy 3m Scotch 33 tape, a small wire tap, cable ties and a wire stripper.

Whenever the top parking lamp would come on/off, your grill lights will come on/off with them. I'll take a pic later.
