Raptor Lights on your truck....

Since a few people seemed interested, figured I'd put it here. If you were interested in putting 'Raptor' style lamps in your grill, go with these:

These are a very simple wire job to hook to your parking lamps and adhere with automotive grade 3M tape. Look solid too!

Haha your license plate is awesome.

Did you just spit the case of those lights apart so you could set them up like that?

I was at a Ford dealer and they just laughed, saying "Ford would love that on YouTube." Funny story, the other day I was behind a Prius that said "60MPG" would have made for a great photo side-by-side.

You never answered my question from earlier.. Did you have to take the casing apart to wire them up spaced apart like you have?

There is no casing. They are three individual 7 led strips.

I think you should have spaced them further apart

Do you have any pictures showing how you wired them together and into the parking lamps? Electrical work is unfamiliar territory and I tend to be a visual learner...
