Let There Be Light

[MDJAK]

Don't the gen 2's have lit up upfitter switches? are the lights on? Switch is good. Do you have a meter or not? Lets start there.

So I just checked. They do have lights on the switches and all still light. Maybe that’s not a part of the fuse? Feel like I’m in The twilight zone.

Hey, look at it this way, now I'm not the only one!!! I was ready to bang my head against the wall trying to figure out why the fuses were blowing when OBVIOUSLY I wasn't overloading them. If you want to use 5 or 6 you can throw a relay on it and still use it. I wanted my Racer Spots all the way to the right (6), so I just wired a relay into that circuit under the hood.

You are a real funny guy assuming I know what a relay is or how to use one. Damn it.

This why you should have a meter, so you can check for power at the pass through wires where you did your connections, anyway, you probably blew a fuse. I believe those switches work off relays and the power side of the relay is what is fused. Just wouldn't want it to be just a bad ground and you keep f'n around for nothing, lol.

Whoa now.... that cover under the rear seats, is that a factory option to cover up the storage?

The locking storage box was aftermarket from ESPTruck.com. It attaches to the seat bracket solidly, has 2 top doors and can accommodate rifles, as it's continuous from the edges of the 2 rear seats...

Looks good. Did you go through a thorough aiming process yet? Eh took me weeks after, driving and testing until I was happy. Between personal preferences and not blinding drivers it’s a process. Obviously the non street legal lights just set to your liking.

Looks great! When looking from straight ahead of the individual pocket, are all of the lenses unblocked?

 

[MDJAK]

I think given the size constraints of the opening, it’s not possible for all the lights to be 100% in the clear. I would say it is very close. The only ones that may be partially blocked, which was the case with three different kinds of brackets and the S2 lights on the outside in my prior Raptors, are the inner most lights.

It’s one reason that I haven’t pulled the trigger on the S8 behind the grill. I can’t imagine that the honeycomb of the grill doesn’t block a considerable amount of it, but I’m sure it’s still plenty bright anyway
