It's exceedingly rare for me to read such a long thread but this was well worth it. Love your enthusiasm, your truck, mods and garage.

Unless I missed it, can you take a pic with just the fogs on, please? I'm assuming you can use the fogs alone.

Also, can you describe how you connect the wiring so you know which aux switch it is? Is that described somewhere you can link me too?

Where did you get the modes decal? Love that.

Do you have to be careful when washing you don't wash off or peel up the decals?

Thanks.

I'll try and take a pic of fogs only, when I get around to taking a pic of the lights in the back. Doesnt get dark around here till 10pm, so by then ive been pretty lazy....

If you look in your manual, it tells you what color wire goes with each upfitter switch.

The Mode decals came from RappysGraphics. He's got a web site that has lots of Gen 1 and Gen 2 graphics. They are good quality, so no worries when you wash it!

Thanks for your interest!

Well, I took the Raptor in for service today. I had 4 things I wanted completed: oil changed, look for the rattle behind the dash, center up the steering wheel (it was a few degrees off to the right), look into a fault code I had gotten (See Manual with a wrench beside it). For that fault code, the fix is to change out the throttle body. Likewise, I'm driving a rental because they didn't have the part. And I hope they can find the cause of the rattle! Drives me nuts.

I'm driving a GMC All Terrain. Uh, quite a step down from the Raptor. Rides rough too!

Loaner? Dealer I purchased from said nothing about a loaner.

Thank you very much for those pics of your awesome lighting. Those are by far the best fogs I've ever seen. If I had any question of why ford doesn't include fogs as OEM, tha/yes been dispelled.

I gotta get those.

The code that popped up literally said "See Manual" and it had a picture of a wrench beside it. If you look in the manual, it says that the power train needs service due to a power train malfunction, but at the dealership, they said for that fault code they found, the fix was to replace the throttle body. Hopefully I'll get it back today and we'll see how it goes.
