Thank you Sir for all your help.....got my in lightening speed. But it may be a bit until I get to it since it has been so cold.

What do you recommend for the bottom valence on an ORP? Wrap it?

Question for those already purchased from cartrim > Is this black valance is undersized. Is it hard to get on and does it go on all the way. There are large gaps on both sides for similar .cn valances sold on amzn etc.

So are those lights just for looks or do they actually put out usable light?

On F-150 Raptors they're actually a federal requirement. They're a requirement for any vehicle over 80" wide.

For some reason Toyota enthusiasts latched onto them thinking it looks cool I guess. They're not functional at all.

There is a 3 MM gap. If you install correctly, it’s hardly noticeable. Lots of YouTube videos for help with the install process. I have a super white and it looks great. Ones on eBay or Amazon are poor quality and/or have larger gaps from what I’ve seen or been told. Some may also take your money and run.

PM me if you need more info than what is otherwise in the thread.

It can also set my truck apart from the other 900 mgm 4runners in this town so I dont lose it in the mall parking lot when im hard-parking or crawling.

Your raptor lights are turned on all of the time?

And there are 700 posts in this thread... Probably not that different anymore. :biggrin1:

Out here I see almost more 4runners with them then without. Flavor of the month.

Turned on? What do you mean? I just like the orange things in the grill. I ordered several sets so I can fill the whole thing in.

Installing them today. Let’s see what happens! Just doing 2 lights and not all 4. I feel like 4 is too much. Good to keep 2 extra on the side if they go out.

I really hate you guys...now I have to have one of these for my rig....:biggrin1:

Is there any way you see to make those lights work in the sections of the grill that don't have the notch at the top and bottom? Whenever I get one I'd like to do three across in that middle row but it looks like it doesn't have the notch for those stand-offs on the light that I assume keep it from pushing through the back of the grille.

Ordered!

The convenient package was too much to pass up.

Being a T4R member is like the old saying "The more you buy, the more you save!".... saved my butt right into the poorhouse.

Oh darn I didn't see that until your post, I just ordered the lights a couple days ago. That was my plan too, I don't want 4 I only want 3 and was planning on using the middle row to evenly space 3. I'm guessing just snap off the posts and use a little superglue. I think the snap tabs will still work on the lights. Anyone else have thoughts?

 

[DigitalRJH]

Neither, I followed the YOTALED install method they are tapped to the 10amp INJ circuit which is switched on when the key is on, in the under hood box which was much easier and faster than going through the firewall. You also can relatch the cover this way.

Are those the Cartrim grille lights or the Yota's? I want to do the 3 across the same way you did but not sure how with the Cartrim ones. See above post.

 

[DigitalRJH]

Never mind, I looked more closely at the lights from the picture they will not work in the middle row. The grill openings in the middle row are a different shape then the top and bottom rows and the lights are specifically shaped for either the top or bottom row. So it's either order different lights or use 2 or 4. I'm thinking I'll just use the 4.
