yeah, in addition to the ones for the truck I got a universal kit of these push pin style connectors.

Are the louvers behind the grill kept with this light bar?
yes, they’re kept and functional.

The clearance is tight, so it is possible to obstruct them, but you would have to try to do it. The brackets are designed to keep the light just far enough away from the louvers.

@x-ray you mentioned one option for the amber lights is to run them through the truck‘s light power so the S8 amber is on when the parking/headlights power on. Can you (or anyone) point me, with little-to-no electrical experience where and what to tap in order for that feature?

SPV makes a plug kit specially for the backlights that’s very simple to use.

I’ll second that. Highly recommend the plug-and-play SPV kit if you want a simple solution. We can help get you setup with the light and the harness here at Apollo Optics. Feel free to send me a PM.

correct me if I'm wrong but by using the fuse tap aren't the backlights going to be on any time the truck is on, not just when the lights are on?

Most folks want the back light on when the truck is on, as it goes with the "Raptor look"
