this is what I heard and not sure how true it is, but its something to do with restriction on how many lights they are regulated to allow to turn on at one time. I think its 4. thats why fog lights go off when brights go on. which explains why those are covered and advertised as off-road lights and do not come on the same time as fog lights. even though they are the same exact lights.
The max of 4 lights on at one time has changed. Superduty and some other vehicles have 6 or more on at one time. Not sure why the covers are there, but there has to be a reason. They sure as hell wouldn't put them on if they didn't have to.

Continued the 2023 build. Added a front half Xpel Clear Bra from the boys at Ride & Joy Tint & Clear Bra, South Denver. Perfect Customer Service and very experienced detailed work. Added some Vinyl Sometimes decals on the hood. Chris uses the Avery Car Vinyl.

Next up Lights..this is fun!

Installed my J&L catch can this afternoon. I picked it up 2 weeks ago with 17 miles on it. Now has just over 200. Glad I got it on early.

Yes, the cover snaps off, I guess Ford has to cover one of the lights. They pop right off with a set keys or screwdriver. I threw mine inside my glove box. They also sell amber covers that fit over the OEM lights.
I didn’t get any covers on the second set of lights.

Did my first raptor run through Ocala forest in Florida with some of the crew. Truly an epic day. Crazy that I beat the SHIT out of this truck, in baja mode, 4H for about 3 hours straight, in the Florida temps and not a hiccup. Earned my pinstripes, but thanks to ceramic coating, they came right out.

Congrats but ceramic coating does nothing to protect from scratches. You’d need PPF for actual protection.

Thank your for the info. It did a pretty good job protecting it this weekend. Can’t even tell. I know PPF will always be a better option but is what it is.
