Raptor Grill lighting question

Our Parking/Headlight adapter would actually have worked perfect for you so that you wouldn't need to tap the wire. I know you've already done that. I wish I could have helped sooner. However, for those who are doing this, here is a link. It was originally designed for backlights for fog, light bar, a-pillar, etc kits. We also made a break in it at the grille for some add on grille/marker lights we are working on. So for those trying to find a solution. I hope this helps.

Does this kit come with female connectors. I plan on installing raptor style grill lights and rigid 360 with the back lighting. With this harness, they will only turn on when the parking lights are on correct?

The harness lays out like this. The adapter plugs into the headlight between the factory connector. The single wire that is combined in the circuit for the parking lights runs long enough to get just past the top cover over the radiator/grille. We have a break there with a MALE single WP connector. Then we have an extension with a female WP connector that plugs into that and carries it the rest of the way up to the switch wires. This way, you can just PLUG IT IN to any of our harnesses easily, without tools to power backlights for ANY light. Rigid 360's, Diode Dyn., LP6, LP4, etc.
You can also share it with multiple harnesses with our 2 and 3 way splitters.

The reason for the break right past the radiator cover was specifically for OEM looking Raptor Style Marker lights we will be coming out with soon. We wanted to come up with something that looked more factory compared to some I see out there where company's/people just grab generic amber markers used for trailers and grind them or cut them and try to make them fit. We wanted ours to LOOK stock. We are looking at some SMOKED lens options. Where they light amber, but have a smoked lens. Like the Raptors did. So as soon as we release those, they will simply PLUG IN between the 2 connectors there at the top of the grille.

If you want to add something else on and wire it up yourself, you can certainly take advantage of that access point as well. The easiest thing would be to also get one of our 2 way splitters. (I will put a link to our harness section below) The 2 way splitter has 2 male ports on one end and 1 female on the other. You just need to plug the one female into the main part coming from the marker adapter and one of the 2 male ends into the female of the extension. From there, you will have one wire hanging off with a male connector. You can cut that connector off and strip the wire and tie it into the positive wires of your marker lights. The ground wire of your marker lights just need combined and put under a bolt. You should be all set then.

If you don't have any of our other harnesses or kits. You may want to check them out. Our harness system makes installing easy for everyone. So many people tell us that they used to go to installers but now can do it themselves. That's the reason we designed and filed a patent for the very unique plug n play system. I will put a few videos below, including the install video for the adapter and a video from Motor Trend's Motor Head Garage.

We would be done with our markers, but we've been putting together some really cool new stuff for the Bronco that will probably launch next week!
We have several new bumper mounts to hold light bars and MANY or few Pod lights. For example. You could install 6 Baja LP6 or Rigid 6" 360's on the bumper. We also have new roof mounts that sit higher and more proportioned to reduce the wind noise that everyone has been frustrated with. They also can hold a universal mount (Slim/Stealth) that can hold 8-10 pod lights from your choice of brands.. Rigid, Baja, Diode, ETC

Any thoughts about when your lights will be available? I've already ordered the harness from you, I want to use it for backlighting on some of my lights, and for additional running lights, but there are no good "Raptor" lights out there yet (IMHO). Some awful, some almost there, but nothing that's good quality and looks right yet.

Shouldn't be long now. We've been busy going back and forth on all these bumper mounts for the Bronco and Gen 3 Raptor which tied us up, but we should be able to get back onto that now.
