I ran the 4th wire to the front marker lights, took about an hour, hardest part was the rear roof panel section.

BUMP


I read in a thread that you can tap into the power wire going to the rear sliding glass as it gets constant power with key on. Anybody have details on how to access that wire?

I just added the Raptor brake light to my 2018. For those that want to retain the factory harness/connector here are some pictures of how to de-pin the connectors.

- Use the tool with the black handle or any sharp point to release the clips for the white retaining cap on the connector.
- Then use other Molex tool to slide down in the top of the connector (with retaining cap removed) to release the internal tab holding the pins
- Swap wires over following the same color placement
- I used the 4 pin Raptor connector on the 4th unused blue wire just for protection until I have time to run that wire to power to gain the 3 LED running light functionality.
