Installed IAG I-Line Raptor Style Grille on 2023 BadSquatch

[scotman623]

Decided I wanted a more black style grill with lights.. Ordered this from I. A.G last week.. Great quality and not very hard to install.. Directions were worthless so I just figured it out on my own.. Simple with just regular tools.. Now I have to start posting stock parts for sale before I can’t walk in my garage.. . Before and after pics..

How do the amber lights tie in? Site says plug-n-play....to what? The parking lights/headlights? Thanks.

You can either hookup to aux switch or to the fuse box.. I saved my Aux switches for something else and just did an add a fuse in spot 125 I believe.. .. Lights come on when I turn on ignition just like I wanted.. Very simple to wire up.. Ran negative to the battery.. Let me know if you have any more questions.. Glad to answer.. Scott

Sorry, used fuse 120 which is also a 10 amp fuse which comes on with ignition..

Thank for your post @scotman623 I've been thinking of ways to get my grill "blacked out" and this is a nice solution. I've had good luck with IAG parts so far.....

Update - Just looked at the IAG site. I can buy a lot of paint and paint prep for $600, not to mention lighting...

I wanted my grill to be flat black instead in the gloss, but was limited on budget, so I disassembled the grill drilled out the letters. Scotch bright the whole thing and then sprayed it myself.

I'm going for the non-gloss look myself and will likely go the same route

Great job on the painting!! I considered this, but decided I can recoup some of my money by selling my new condition stock grill to someone..

What light bars/brackets are you using as fog lights in the modular bumper? I was thinking of doing something similar if I don't try the "raptor style" lights. Thanks!

Can you please share some more angles on the new grille? Looking for a shot from the front corner angle. Thanks!

Can you take a picture of your fuse box? I was not able to insert an add-a-fuse without blocking the weatherproof cover.

I drilled a tiny hole in the top of the fuse box and put clear water proof silicone on it.. Can easily peel off the silicone if I need to get back in there.. Only way to do it without major pinching of the wire… I could have ran to my Aux switch, but only have 3 left and saving those for more important hookups.. I can take pictures of it if you still need?

I did a grille swap with all OEM parts and it hits the wallet extremely hard, but I am satisfied with the look. I bought a wiring harness from spvparts.com. This allowed me to plug and play the three amber lights. I am not a wiring expert, but his made me look like one.
