Maybe when you guys return I’ll finally get my Black Friday rebate in.

Hi Sernas,

I apologize you haven't received your rebate check yet. I will get to the bottom of this and figure out what's the status. PM inbound.

@Baja Designs i just got 2 sets of xl80’s from svc with my new bumper. I have a 2019 raptor. Do I just cut the wire harness before the fuse and connect red to upfitter and ground the black? Is there a way to use the dimming feature?

To connect to the upfitter harness in the Raptor, all you need is a power and ground going to the light. At this point, you would be using the harness for material. You won't be using the inline fuse, switch, or ring terminals for a battery. You would disconnect the harness at the switch, and hook up the red power lead to the switch you choose (refer to owners manual on color code of wires). The black lead just needs to be grounded somewhere on the chassis. The XL80s have a built in dimming feature that's done by grounding out the third, green wire. The upfitter switches use a switched power and not a switched ground. Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to use these switches to perform this job.

Hey all,

just wanted to share a bit of info with you all and see if anyone has the same thoughts on the matter. I just purchased an N-Fab light bar with tabs mount for my ‘20 Screw. When I received the bar I was imediately impressed with the rugged look and build of the bar. Then I noticed something and it really rubbed me the wrong way. The tabs for the LP6 lights that I plan to mount on welded to the FRONT PART OF THE BAR!!! That means that all mounting hardware will show under the bar!!! Also, when the lights are installed, they will actually be positioned “ahead” of the main bar....meaning the lights will take the a use before the bar gets to push crap down off the lenses!!! Which moron of a PRIUS pavement driving engineer came up with that design?!?!?!?!? If this wasn’t one of the only bars available for the 2020 Raptors I would send it back. So disappointed!!! I still plan to mount the thing since I had already prepped my plastic by cutting the grooves but this may be a short lived install. Hey N-Fab.....you dropped the ball on this one!!! To make matters worse....when looking online at the bar they show pictures off when you order it.....the mounting tabs are ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BAR!! Like they should be!!
Disappointed with the product but kinda stuck... dammit!!

Which N-Fab bar did you order outta curiosity (part #)

 

[FrenchRaptor]

It was the F184LB-TX I believe.

Ahh yeah that has 4 mounting points. The multi-mounts are much better suited. That's what we run on our demo truck Also allows you to install more then 1 bolt per light to secure it.

I had originally thought about going with that radius light bar mount with the 30” light bar but I prefer to have the ability to rotate the two outside lights toward the shoulders of the road due to excessive moose crossings up here in northern Maine. I’m in the woods roads a lot and the moose pop out everywhere! The light bars don’t give me that option....

Shout out to 4x4TruckLEDS.com for the killer deal on a pair of XL80s and SDHQ a-pillar mounts! Great addition to the set up! The free T-shirt and sweet treats in the box were a nice touch!
