    Decided not to do a 20 inch light bar because I’m adding my diode Pro amber fogs lights eventually. So added the raptors lights in the place of the light bar. If the raptors lights fail and burn out then a bajadesigns light bar will go in. IMG_4772.jpg

    Were the raptor lights difficult to install? I have a set NIB sitting at home, just haven't had the time to install them yet.

    I swear my 2018 TRD OR did NOT have the hood insulation on it??? I just don't remember it being there when I cleaned the eng bay. Maybe I'm loosing it more then the Mrs. claims:eek::rolleyes::yes::cheers:
    1 of the reviews on the site where I bought mine from claimed that 1 didn't clip in correctly but he just let it go. I remember the 1's I installed on my 2018 4R that they are directional, i.e. yes they "will go in BUT if they don't snap in rotate 180" I tried it W/these that the reviewer commented on & yep they are designed to fit 1 way correctly.

    Leaving it like that. Don’t have much confidence in these to keep working. Lol. See where reviews some took them out because they kept burning out one or another.

    Like said previously I picked Tail so when "parking lights" I guess they're now DRL's in the new vehicles . rotated switch on TS stock past "Auto" they're on then my Brite Box is when I push switch! or use OEM only when lo beams on.

    Haha ya, I needed it to work with their modular drawer system since the cabinets bolt into sliding brackets underneath the holes of their cargo floor.

    Victory’s setup seemed like the best option for my desired stacked configuration. Stuff is pricey but high quality. Black Friday 20% off sale helped quite a bit.

    Well we got the vehicle undercoated with the Honeyseal. Seems like a very good product. Yesterday, I pull my lift outside and did inside the frame front to back with the 3M Cavity Wax. Very easy to apply with there wands.

    Take a small drill bit and drill a wire sized hole in the side. Insulate that part of the wire that will go thru the hole and it will shut perfectly. I'll put a photo up later.

    This never quite fit, so I recessed it into the plastic a little. As a bonus it helps fix it in place and hides the shameful Auxbeam logo.

    Yikes. I wanted to try those but am just upgrading OEM bulbs with ones from diode dynamics to save 200$ and avoid these problems. Also, couldn’t find gray to match the headliner from Meso. So I gave up on them.
