Best Idea Upfitter Switch

[Mbdurham]

Hood mounts or rear chase lights on a GJ brake light would finish off your install



This would be right up your alley and requires zero switches. Comes on automatically when you shift into reverse.

View attachment 139699 View attachment 139698 Hi attached my 40 inch rigid to the stock bumper and proceeded from there

How’d you do the bumper install of the 40” Rigid? The brackets I’ve found raise the light bar off the bumper and I don’t want that cuz I don’t want to block the camera. Are there special brackets you used or did you do a direct drill into the bumper (does the bar come with brackets where direct into bumper installation is possible?)?

I’m considering it or the SR series so as to block less of the camera; how much camera blockage occurs with your Rigid?

Had been considering the F150LEDS palidin light bar since it’s so low profile but rather do a Rigid or a Baja light bar.

Thx

I think I am liking the idea for rear backup lights first. Those tiny stock lights are amazingly ineffective, lol. Switches 5 & 6 are 5 amp, correct? This is a good draw for the Rigid? I have found other brands that require a 10A draw

Switches 5 & 6 are 5amp circuits. The Radiance Scene (4 LEDS per pod) are spec'd @ 30 watts at 15V, which works to 2A each.

Can the backup light circuit handle the additional 1.8Amps without changing the fuse? Thx.

They sure can. We've had zero issues with them since their inception in 2017 and we've sold hundreds of these kits. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I'm using one for fog lights
One for off-road cube lights
one for reverse lights.

I was concerned with this as well so I tapped mine into the trailer harness instead. I also used a diode so I can also power them on at will using an upfitter switch. The diode is to keep current from back feeding into the reverse lighting when I manually turn them on.

What have or will you use your first upfitter switch on? I'm looking for ideas. Open to any suggestion.
I brought him home Mar 6 and last week I changed out that damn antenna, installed mud guards front and back, installed retractable tonneau and ordered Bug Rug. I'm ready to play around with the switches now. What should I install first?

Thanks!

Congrats on your Raptor!

We actually have some cool EXCLUSIVE stuff we design and Manufacture for the Raptor. I figured some of these videos may help.
