RPM Bronco Grille Fuse Light Confusion

[Grandpa]

Finally got around to installing a new grille that has three lights on it, but I'm a little confused about what to do with the fuse.

It calls to use #25.

1) that spot is already taken by a 10A (middle row, second in from the left).
2) even when I remove that fuse, this supplied fuse assembly wont fit due to the lip in the box.

Any suggestions out there?

I ordered a similar kit. I ended up buying a headlight harness from f150leds that has two outputs to connect to so the grille lights come on with the parking lights and headlights.

I honestly assumed thats how these were going to work when I ordered the grille, when I saw it just gets its own fuse I was a little confused. I guess I could just splice in to my fog lights that come on with my headlights...

You are supposed to use an Add-A-Tap. That adds a second fuse and pigtail to that fuse spot.

(looks like you got that)

And if you need to move to a different location, you can. Fuse 25 is BLIS/360Camera I think, which is a good one, but you could realistically pick anything that comes on with ACC

An add a tap was already on the harness from RPM when it came in, thats whats in the photo and wont fit due to the housing. Unless im utterly clueless.

Missed the ACC part. Will have to see what kind of room I can make since the add a tap is pretty bulky for that row. Thanks!

The ones I linked did fit in that spot - that's where I'm picking up trigger power for my upfitter setup. I may have shaved the sides down a bit or something though, it's been a while.

I had to dremel a cut out in the side of my fusebox for the wire to come out & the lid to still close.
also I used a different spot so mine would be on with DRL all the time. Can't remember which spot, but I can take a picture later.

I just kind of closed the fuse cover on mine, and it seems to be working fine after 6 months. I'm going to try and find a better way to do it whenever it warms up

This is what I was looking for. Ive seen both 9 and 63 being used in other threads. I asked RPM a few days ago for suggestions and just havent heard back yet

I have the same issue. What is ACC?

Accessory power - basically key on (regardless of engine running)
