    Just received these, and they came with 2 harnesses, however 1 has a 10A fuse and one has a 15A fuse, just want to make sure that I’m using the right one? No directions of course included…lol

    I didn't use those fuse taps risking other circuits. I used the light bar wire harness and used a oem style switch on dash.

    Too bad my grill lights/ raptor lights only lasted few months and started burning out. Recently I put them to trash where they belong.

    Edit -
    Here's a video of my raptor lights :p

    And the post when I remove them-

    You can use the lowest you have. I have mine on 5 amp. Could probably do 3 or 2 amp. The LED's take almost nothing.

    Do some searching. This has been done a lot. If you do the add a fuse in the fuse box under the hood you wont be able to close that box.

    Let us know if you have any specific questions. Ignore the haters. They drank too much hater-aide today.

    Thanks , I’m thinking that I’m going to use the cabin fuse box, and the 10A harness….so it just comes on with the ignition…..the lights are kind of cheap, one of the clips broke while installing which sucked. So I ordered another set. There cheap. So at least I have some some spare parts if needed…Will do the wiring next weekend. IMG_2733.jpg

    Ok…the story gets crappier.. so I went ahead wired them earlier tonight, and the wiring harness once attached to the lights are way to short to even make it the cabin to get close to the interior fuse box. :(

    therefore, I attempted to use the engine fuse box, with the supplied dual add a fuse mini adapter, and to my surprise the mini fuse that you plug in is not long enough to connect. You actually need the length of the cabin fuse box harness adapter for this installation..

    Besides I have no idea where to plug the fuse into inside the engine bay…lol…

    there sending me a free kit as well…

    Might be time to buy some wire, crimps, crimper, volt meter.

    volt meter to figure out what is ignition on under the hood.

    In the cab this fuse would work for you.

    Ok, since the wiring harness that was sent was way to short, and one the clips on the lights snapped off during the install. Customer service sent me a new Set. I received the new set, this set only had (1) fuse adapter, however, the harness was the same therefore, I took both harness and with the usage of a heat gun, soldering gun, crimps, connectors. I made the harness about 5’ longer, then I purchased a whole set of add a fuses via Amazon, which I was able to use the correct one along with a 5A fuse for under the dash fuse box. Then tested the correct fuse that was ON with the ignition, and used that. Finally after all the work was able to get these on. Now I have a bunch of spare lights and parts for possible failures
