I tapped into the wires for the parking and signal lights in the headlamp wiring harness. You have to tap each side for the signal lights, but only driver side for the parking. I was hoping to trace all of the wiring back the fuse box and tap in there somewhere, but that proved to be too complicated. I accessed the headlamp wiring harnesses through the wheel wells, as explained by some others on the forum. Much easier than taking off the front.
Also, I concealed everything with wire wrap.
Looks great. I'm considering it myself. How did you know which wires to tap into?
I haven’t had any real negative experience with it. Hood flutter is minimal, but honestly the flutter could have been there before and I just did not notice it. For what it’s worth, I’ve not had any rocks hit my windshield since installing it. My only complaint is the light bar needs to be bent on each end a little more in order to conform to deflector. I will have to get some gorilla glue or other adhesive to hold it down better.
Yes, it will work with parking light only if you only tap that wire and not the others. However, the hazard light will not work unless you tap the turn signal wires. Personally, I think the turn signals are coolest thing about it, but to each there own.
Did you figure this out? I bought one and am stuck in the same place.Does anyone have experience installing the AVS Aeroskin Lightshield Pro Hood Shield? Specifically, looking for guidance on how to connect the light bar to the parking and signal lights. Is there way to do it via the fuse box? I really do not want to pop off the grill and headlamp assembly to tap the harness wiring, like others have done for the “raptor” grill lights and LED letters from Oracle. Plus, I’m not sure the length of the included wiring will reach back to the front. I also do not want to wire to an auxiliary switch. It should come on with the parking lights and the sequence triggered with the signal lights. What am I missing?

Yes. See video above. You have to tap in the parking light (just one side) and signal wires (both sides) of the headlamp harnesses. Someone previously posted a diagram of the wiring harness in the forum, showing which wires do what.
On my BadSas, I went on a 10-hr roadtrip and I noticed quite a bit of hoodflap to the point of checking it, thinking I left my hood unsecured but it was not. Its not the most aerodynamic vehicle and offroad tires don't help quelling the vibration at 70+ mph so it is normal to see hood flaps. I also saw this on my F150 on road trips so I'm used to it.
Proper hood adjustment can eliminate flutter. Refer to the following posts for more info…Paging @Razorbak86
OK, I attached a photo below. In the middle of the photo, next to the hood support rod, is the hood bump stop on the driver’s front corner. There is an another one just like it on the passenger’s front corner. Twist it clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust it up and down to remove slop in the hood alignment.
You want your hood properly anchored in all 5 locations (i.e., 2 front bump stops, 2 rear hinges, 1 front latch).
When the hood is properly anchored, there should be very little movement when you press down on the front corners. The more slop in this adjustment, the easier it will be to close the hood. The less slop in this adjustment, the harder it will be to close the hood.
I’m pretty anal about this, so mine is adjusted with such little slop that I have to drop my hood from about 10” to close it, and then it doesn't move on the corners when pressed down. You may not want to remove that much slop, but that’s the secret to achieveing zero flutter.
Interesting-- I'm going to fuss with this tonight and raise hell on the freeway to test it out!
@Jaymanire did you tap into the turn out (pin4) or the turn control module(pin2)? I have solid connections and no lights. I used 2,9 and 10. Not super difficult to double check the orientation of the plug plus 9 & 10 are the only ones used in the factor plug in the second row. P
