Changed Badlands to Raptor Grille

[alancorman1]

OP, Did you ever get the back plate? I’m doing the same thing, but can’t seem to figure out what holds the 3 led’s in place. They sit on the pins, but there’s nothing to hold them in place.

Have you completed the swap?

Is this OEM? If so did you use the OEM light and wiring?

Yes, all OEM.

Can I get some details from you on the wiring of the lights and they stay on the mounting pins?

The wire harness is simple and connects right into the camera, if you have that just bring over. It snaps into the grill pretty straightforward. You can then bring over the washer tube as well. You will need a connector for the Aux Switch or you can use this to go right into parking lights.

The lights I simply used silicone to hold them in. Not sure if you saw my prior post but would live to see how factory does it.

Let me know if any other questions.

How much were you thinking? I saw the Texas plates and figured if the price and distance isn't bad, I would be interested

I’m in Houston and have 2022 a badlands grille for sale. Switched it out for a wild track grille so don’t need the badlands anymore

The wiring harness for the light runs on the engine side of the bracket that attaches to the grill?

It is underneath it against the new grill, the new bracket covers it from my recollection.

Not sure what model you are coming from, but on an OBX like I have, you do have to trim some of the weather gasket as new bracket won't fit nicely. I believe Badlands doesn't have such an issue. In the pic you can see it by both lights and runs to the center.

I have a Badlands. Please send any and all pics/video you have.

I didn’t realize the two brown plugs were for the camera. I was wondering why there were three plug ins. I’ll order the park light adapter and should be all set.

Haters gonna hate.

Thank you for the assistance

I looked but didn't really take any other pics. If you need anything else let me know.

Did you use another adapter to go from the harness to the OEM plug pictured here.

I finished it up this weekend. The backing bracket made the grille install a snap and bolt in project. I also held the LED's in with a small amount of silicone. I would also love to see how the factory does it.
As for the wiring, I hooked mine up in parallel with the fog lights i added on Aux switch 6.

Looks great. Mine should be looking the same by the end of the weekend.

What exactly did you cut? Something is keeping the grill from snapping into place.

Thank you to all who gave me tips. SPV wired up an adapter to allow me to plug into the OEM harness
