I opted not to use the 3rd brake light clips that came with it. Instead I installed a few 10-24 nutserts. Cleaner and more secure insulation.

@NateMob I don't remember off hand which drill bit I used. Whichever one the nutsert recommend. I am on shift and will not be home until Friday and can check then. You might need to remind me though.

Spent the last number of days putting some work in on the Raptor. Been a mild winter so getting other parts installed before the Kings in the spring. Don't want the road salt to mess them up like they did to my bump stops.

Next up is everybody's favorite.... wiring. Made a game plan...

Using the SDHQ mount for the Switch-Pros module. I wanted to make the harness serviceable so I chucked it up.

Main Switch-Pros harness

That was the easy part. Now onto the light harness.

Found my routing and ended all the wires. Light harness came out pretty good.

Found a key on in the fuse box and used a fuse tap.

Ran everything one last time and did a final install.

Got tired of working in the rain so I called it a day. Waiting on some wire loom brackets to come in so I can button up the Light harness. Still need to finish wiring up the XL80s. Also need to set up the Switch-Pros in the app.

Went with @Baja Designs lighting. 30" S8 combo bar. 2 LP9 Pro combos in yellow. 2 LP9 Racers. Already had the XL80s in combo yellow. A pair of S2s in white for back up lights. And another pair of S2s in yellow in the GJ 3rd brake light.

Back light for the bar is hooked up to the parking lights. The back light on the LP9s are on uplifter switch 5. Didn't want them on all the time.

I still have a gym full of truck parts, but this is a good start.
