Pre-production Bronco Raptor "Warthog" headlights installed on my base Bronco!

Recently with a little legwork and some help from a fellow b6g member @CtSASBronco I was able to track down a pair of pre-production “warthog” aka raptor headlights. They were plug and play like I assumed since we know the signature lights worked with any trim bronco. I really like the look of the amber Halo drl and they match perfect with my RC pocket fogs.

It’s pretty neat they actually say warthog on the backside of them. I plan on holding on to my base lights just in case but they build quality looks like any production light I’ve seen thus far so im
Not too concerned. Attached a few pictures enjoy!

U suck! Those look fantastic

I’m guessing it’s tough to come across one let alone a pair so I consider myself lucky lol. They are awesome for sure.

Look great! How hard was it to uninstall the stock and then replace?

Pretty easy honestly. I watched a couple videos beforehand. You gotta take the grill off and that plastic piece under the grill off. Three bolts and plastic pin on each light and they pop right out.

Nice!

Those are sweeeet!!! Nice find!!

There was a flood of those on eBay about this time last year, when the Franken-build Broncos were sent to the crusher. We never figured out why exactly they said warthog on them.

Looks awesome!

Whaaaa!! Jelly here! Fkng A Bro

Wow, were they bought up or ended up ending auction with zero bids and do you remember cost? I’d totally buy one. That or someone figures out a way to do a amber led switch on the signature lights.

I know not quite the same, but oracle lighting has some options available.

I remember seeing one guy that received one a while back but I don’t remember seeing multiple available. With the way ford is I wonder why they’d save just the headlights? It is kind of odd for them not to destroy everything on a test mule.

Ford contracts companies to do the crushing bits so it’s not surprising to see parts “walk-off”. Happens all the time. They also don’t usually build a lot of the prototypes so another source of parts from that as well.

Warthog was the internal name for the Raptor. A lot of the parts are stamped with codenames. The 2021 F-150 Raptor was code named Phantom but I’m not sure if there were any Easter eggs really for that.
