Default Raptor grill question

I'm thinking about replacing the grill on my 2016 XLT sport with one of the Raptor aftermarket grills and have a few questions. I'm seeing price son ebay from $80 up to $250 on some other sights. What are to go to brands and ones to avoid?

Secondly, has anyone seen them with white LEDs instead of amber? I'm not a huge fan on amber and if that's the only option I'll probably leave them unhooked.

Appreciate the help in advance!

Avoid the $80 ones, and steer more towards the $250 ones. Marker lights are required to be certain per DOT regs. There may be white ones out there, but you'll have to install them yourself.

Amazon is fine, but get it painted first, it will look 10x better. I installed one on my grand dad's truck and he loves it.

I got one off Amazon a few weeks ago and it has been great. It's the seven Sparta one and was like $130 and comes with the FR letters. Check my post history to see a picture

I got a $100 matte black one on Amazon and it's perfect.

But since when does the Raptor come with a Grill? I didn't know that, is it a tailgate swingout propane type or charcoal?
