    The Wurth stuff is top drawer but you'll need more than you think - its better to have more on hand. We use it on racecar builds all the time

    Looking for Morimoto XB headlight installation video

    I went a different route and used the corner side marker as a switch for a relay with fused power off the battery. This works: Using a 4-pin relay 30 - Fused 5a wire to battery positive 85 - Ground (black wire) from Side Marker 86 - Positive (blue wire from Side Marker 87 - DRL wire

    Morimoto XB Headlights Startup and DRLs

    I just did this install and didn't really like the fuse tap personally. I ended up slicing into the side corner marker and used a 4-pin relay with fused power from the battery. Here's the gest: "Wiring was pretty simple for the DRLs but takes a bit of effort. The LED system is isolated so you...

    Getting familiar with FORscan I’ve coded a lot of cars (Porsche/BMW/etc) and keep an old 2008 Dell w/Win7 just for this purpose. If you want to give it a try, order the right cable first and get the right drivers. Make backups of everything first, then figure out which modules you want to...

    Morimoto XB Headlights vs. OEM LED - Lux Results

    I also recently swapped from OEM LEDs to Morimoto XBs (thank you @4x4TruckLEDs.com!), and highly prefer the Morimotos. Where I'm at in the PNW its dark and wet most everywhere all of the time. Recently its also been super foggy. I'm not a headlight expert but I couldn't see $#@% at night with...

    Shipping delays are a real thing but a lot of the parts are here and ready to go. Testing this weekend revealed I am in the "needs a new alternator" camp. The charging system warning sporadically pops up at startup and off and on during driving. I would do all the wrenching on these but my...

    With the change to the Mishimoto trans cooler, needed to top off the transmission by adding fluid as both the cooler is a lot larger and I needed to account for the lost trans fluid from the swap. Clunky shifts were noticeable even though I've been barely driving the truck until this was...

    I ordered the Morimotos from @4x4TruckLEDs.com - Shipped quickly and got here fast. Order the Raptor correct model and choose your options. For install, swap the harness for the Raptor LED with a few screws. Wiring was pretty simple for the DRLs but takes a bit of effort. The LED system is...

    Morimoto XB Headlights Installed. These are friggin awesome. Install was pretty simple with one miss, hardwiring the DRLs. The provided kit had the wrong fusebox wire (2020 problems) so I used a relay spliced and soldered into the passenger corner marker (blue wire) as the switch. Highlights...

    It actually might not be as hard as you think depending on how your FMIC is mounted. The trans cooler is super easy to get to once the front grill and such are off A little bit of an all-rounder. I like to party. Honestly, I found a set on eBay for stupid cheap ($1K for 4) Thanks!

    Took this quick photo to show what might be the best route for wiring the connecting wires for driver-side fogs across the front bumper. This sits under the rubber cover behind the front bumper. Easy to access if you already have the front grill and shutter system off which isn’t difficult or...

    The Volks look and probably perform awesome, you can't beat lightweight forged. If I had started on those that's probably where I would have ended up but I was looking for a 17” and I’ve already got new K02s - they also price out at about twice the price of the Enkei's. Might be worth it for...

    Thanks @Troubleman! I've been pining over a few friends' Raptors for a while that have similar use cases to my own for daily/woods/tow. Asking them and searching FRF answered a lot of questions on a lot of specific areas I was looking into which made it pretty easy to decide on. There are a few...
