GEN 2 Baja Designs S8 30" Grill Light bar kit install

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

I disagree but I'm a nobody. If it went with the "raptor look" then the 3 lights in the grill would be on all the time too. Just my opinion. To me the parking light harness that SPV or Starkey sells is a lot better solution even if it isn't free. I have DB s8 bars and much prefer the raptor lights than the ones in the s8. Again, just the opinion of a nobody, not a vendor.

The S8 has 2x power connections, 1 for the amber ‘back’ lights, the other for the main, white lights. You can wire them separately or together, with or without a harness.

Your 3 amber lights in your grill ARE always on... as required by DOT (well 1 single light for DOT but Ford made it look nicer)

Sorry but you are wrong. They are not always on, only on when parking or headlights are on.

Also wrong about the required lights. If the vehicle is over 80" wide there are 5 lights required front and rear. 3 in a cluster called ID lights that signify the vehicle is over 80" wide and one on each side at the outside edge. Where RAM and Ford got creative with the TRX and Raptor is up front, they didn't put the front ID lights up as "high as practical" they put them in the grill so you don't confuse their top truck with a lowly dually. Got the rear correct by putting them in the 3rd brake light location.

Not trying to be argumentative just clearing something up that as a vendor you should have known. Also you mentioned your free taps when the question answered from 2 other vendors was how to wire them to come on with the parking lights.

Sure sounds like you're trying to pick a fight with me... but you have yourself a great day.

Definitely not trying to pick a fight with you, just trying to correct your incorrect statements, nothing personal. You have a great day too.

I broke a few of the push pins on the top. Does anyone know where I can get an OEM replacement. Even the dealer didn't have any for me today while I was there.

Did anyone find the OEM part number for this?

There's quite a few youtube installation videos out there that are quite helpful. We've installed a ton of these, just make sure to take your time. The panels around the headlights do not need to be fully removed, you can just pop them loose and bend them slightly outwards on the sides nearest to the grille to physically remove the grille off the truck.
