I may be jumping the gun a little here because my Raptor did not get delivered this week as I hoped- hopefully next.
Anyway I plan on installing a sweet setup in the lower middle grille section on my truck when it arrives. Already have F-250 "fog lights" for the outside which are Halo/Projectors and I converted to HIDs. I also have 2 Rigid Single Row 10" light bars that "should" fit inbetween the F-250 housings. The Upper SR is the Spectre Driving light which is intense!! The lower SR is an Amber Flood. No lights in the openings in the bumper in front of the tires- which is what I want.
Also installing 2 Vision X Solstice (the round ones) inside the plastic of the rear bumper. (I saw someone do rigids like that before on here)
To get to my point, These will take up all 4 of my Upfitter Swithes. The fuses are rated way too high for these lights and I need to find a couple 5 amp and possibly a 2-3 amp fuse to replace them. Checked 3 auto parts stores today and didnt see anything. I am assuming that these fuses are the "box style" fuses not the blade ones. I am not sure because I dont even have the truck yet.
Anyone know where to find 5 Amp and 2-3 amp fuses to replace the fuses that are stock for the upfitters?? And can anyone tell me the style of fuse?
I have boxes of stuff here waiting to mod- thanks to you guys!! Just trying to get together my final things I will need....
Thank you guys in advance for any help!!

Ok, from what I am reading the Upfitters are mini fuses? Or are you just substituting mini fuse for the "square" ones?
THANK YOU!!

They're both, depending on which upfitter we're talking about. 1 & 2 are what Ford calls "square fuses", and 3 & 4 are what Ford calls "blade mini fuses"

Here, take a look at this drawing I put together. This might help better explain things:

Ok, I remember seeing this pic before... couldnt find it.
The blade mini fuses are not a prob to get 5 amp but one of the "square ones" I still need to find a 5 amp which is the problem I am having...
Thank you again!

Gotcha. And no prob! Glad to help.

With all those lights, I assume you're planning on some serious off roading? Do you think you might ever add an air compressor or other similar tool? I'm asking because ya might consider tying a few of those lights together and saving the 30amp upfitters for the big stuff if/when you add it?

Not sure what I am doing yet, I just wanted a setup that is different. Everyone buys the 20" bar for in that spot... yawn! I will have a ton of options packed in that spot and it will look sick. I am a graphic designer so I have already done some photoshop mockups for myself.
Things would be much easier if I had the truck right now!
Still looking for a 5 AMP SQUARE STYLE FUSE??
Thank you Big J! Its great to know that you can count on your friends on FRF!

Awesome! LOL I hear ya on being a bit different. I ran with a pair of LightForces on my bull bar for a year. Each light had it own upfitter, and it was kinda fun to "blink" once in a while. But since moving them up on top of the hood, I put both on one switch. Honestly it wasn't worth losing the switch for the few times I played with each light individually. YMMV.

Keep us posted on what you find. I hope that 5amp'er is out there somewhere!!

Looks like 20amp is the lowest for this form factor, Rigid should change there instruction to have the Dully's use upfitter #3 & #4
