[QUOTE="dunnjames18, post: 893288, member: 18219"] Okay received the package yesterday it was beat to shit I have no clue what these postal guys do to these things but none the less everything was intact.. The brackets are extremely thick and study and the lights seem to be very strong as well metal encasing poly type lens. The wiring harness is not raptor specific tho I spliced the wires under the glove box which was a royal pain in the ass to solder idk if it just my truck but those wires were so short I think that took the longest after I spliced my aux 4 switch up I moved to the engine compartment. I don't know why everyone is all against cutting the plastic cowl it took maybe 5 minutes with a dremel and when they are in place you don't even notice it seriously. The hood I used a snow scraper as a prop while I unscrewed the hood bolts and took off the hood strut once the bolts were out finished up with the dremel on any minor trimming. I put the brackets on slid them as far back put hood bolts back in.. The rear one was not too bad to get to with the plastic cowl cut giving u some more room put the light on checked clearance moved to driver side and repeat. I ran the wires from the lights to the pass thru wire from the glove box spliced everything up and turned it on and nothing happened checked fuses and grounds and after a min of thinking there was a universal switch that came with it plugged it on to the empty connector tried the switch that came with it and it worked so I followed the wires back from the universal switch that came with it cut them a few inches off the relay spliced the wires together threw the few feet of wire from switch away .. All and all for a 125 bucks not a ba deal 18 month warranty.. Cons no instructions and had to kind of do my own troubleshooting with that universal switch..
