USE THIS LINK FOR THE RAPTOR GRILLE - amzn.to/3SFv4W2 or amzn.to/3wmsInr

I kept seeing this grille on Amazon but I thought I don't want it to say dood. I did not know that extra letters came with the kit. Now this is very cool!

Thank you brother this helped a-lot especially that you actually show us instead of cutting parts out and stuff im thankful about everything I’m 16 years old bought the same grill only needed the blue parts went to autozone today and got them got home did it as soon as i saw the orange light on I got so happy Im so thankful Gracias

I installed a raptor grille on my 06 F-150 today. I followed this vid and it was super easy! It took me about 40 minutes total.

I just wanted to say thank you for doing a sweet job showing the steps to do this. I have a 2007 F150 FX4 I just bought the grill for. So I am exited to put it all together. Great job! Looks Awesome!

Great video! Just a quick observation. The reason it was a PITA installing the 8 bolts through the hood was because those square nuts that you used as washers on the "control arm" are to be used on the bolts that you insert in the grille; you only have to finger tight them. This keeps them in place so you can then feed them through the holes in the hood. I did add some small washers on the "control arm" screws just for added insurance. Also, after I installed the grille, which looks awesome BTW, I did notice that there was a tiny, tiny gap between the grille and the hood...enough that if you look hard enough, you can see the light from the LEDs shine through. Nothing negative against the grille, i just think it's how it was cut. So what I plan on doing, since my OCD won't let this slide, is removing the grille and instead of using those square nuts (which could be acting as slight spacer) to hold the bolts in place, I may either try using a small strip of tape or cut a piece of thin flimsy plastic (like that wire shelf lining material) to the shape of the square nuts and slide that over the bolt threads to hold them in place. Hope this helps!

I've got those same headlights, took my 05 to the car wash, next day they are fogged over with condensation like one of yours. I just got some in the mail (1A auto) that cost twice as much, hope they are better. Thanks to you, I ordered the same grille 👍😁👍

Hey Andrew! Thanks for the video. My 15 year old son and I are fixing to buy him a 2005 F150 with a new engine already installed. We're going to work on cleaning it up together and making it "right" for him. This project is definitely on our list to do together and looks easy enough now that I got to see your video! Thanks for what you do. You're helping people! All the best,,

Love what you do Andrew..I'm new to owning a Ford F150, and I normally don't work on upgrading anything but I love cleaning things, but watching you upgrade your truck has given me inspiration to do just that. Upgrading my truck on grille, emblems and headlights, tail lights. Whatever to beautify!

A very detailed description of the installation. I would highly recommend NOT using the splice blocks in an area that can get wet. At the very least tape up the blocks, so they are water tight!

Hey man. New to actually doing the work on my truck. I’ve always paid to get stuff done. I added running boards and Tonneau cover along with LED lights. Love my truck. Thanks for your instructions which encourages me to do more. Thanks for your help.

If you thought 1k subs was wild I can't imagine what you think now with 10k! Awesome video bro. Thanks for taking time to make this easier on us 👍

Thanks for the video. Installed my grill w/LED 2 years ago. Recently, one of the Led's was not working, another was half lit. Played it safe, purchased a set of new LED's from Amazon. Finally, had time to install today. First checked wiring; light not working was not due to power, 2nd same. Both diodes bad. Check the wiring main harness to battery; found a power wire (red) completely corroded through and water inside heat shrink and tape. Quick trip to HD, problem solved; so I thought! In order to change the LED's, you must loosen all bolts that hold the grill on. Now, comes the pain! All the bolts had rusted over the years. When loosening , both bolt and nut turned. Break out vise grips; progress made. Finally, got all LED's installed, grill tight, aligned but too dark to continue for power hook up. All in all, I highly suggest you use a good heat shrink, solder your connection where you can, and use dielectric compound on your connections. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for this video. The company I bought it from is no longer open and I could not get instructions from them. I just finished getting it all hooked up and everything works great. Thanks again.

Hey man I’m new viewer I really like your videos keep up the work

Definitely finding your videos helpful. Recently changed out all the interior lights in my 04 to LED. I really wanna try raptor lining mine but I'm a little hesitant cause I don't wanna screw it up. Next project is changing out the hoses and jets on my windshield washer system. I enjoy working on the truck and these instructional videos are a lifesaver.

this video has helped me an incredible amount, thank you so much for all of these videos on an older truck that doesn’t get enough love

Been waiting on this one! Hope me reaching out to lasfit about those headlights gets you some soon!

I really enjoy watching your vids i had a 2014 f150 that i tried putting one of those grills on but the 12 gen f150s were awful for lining up so i just sold it and the truck and bought a 2020 f150 which i just traded it for an suv for my wife, now i am back to restoring my 2006 f150 that i bought brand new in 2006 and i love getting ideas from you, my headlights are on the way i just had all new shocks and struts put on it, love watching your channel man.

awesome work I have a 2005 f150 and have been viewing all vids for ideas

wow that gray really looks amazing with your two tone truck. I just got one yesterday in the mail and it was black which is fine for me. I'm going to run my wires behind my Hood foam I believe

Andrew, thanks a million for the video. After watching I ordered the Raptor grill and swapping out was incredibly easy. I would not have considered swapping a grill myself prior to your video 👍🏻

Andrew, your video on how to install the Raptor Grill was sooooo helpful for connecting the lights!! Those quick splice/tap connectors were so awesome!! Thanks for being you and being awesome! 💪🏼

Okay....haha....hmm okay, where do i start on this. First, i bought the black version of this grill and i love it. Theres a few things that i learned about the installation of this thing and ill pass them to you and the other viewers. First, the grill is easy to install itself even though its not a perfect fit. It takes a few small taps to get the gaps right...but no big deal. Second, the wiring has to be done before you install the grill on the truck. The frame is wide enough to stuff all those wires in so you wont have a clearance problem between the hood and the radiator core support cover. Im a huge stickler when it comes to running wires. I want all my stuff to look factory. I ran the rest of the harness behind the hood insulation and then behind the coolant jug. I then ran it along the inner fender where i came up short. I had to add another 16 inches to my harness so that the wires were where i wanted them. I dont have a spider web hanging all over the place like you have there. I also finished it off by buying some wire loom cover to pretty it up. I would redo what you did there so that your wires arent laying all over your motor. These are the things i learned about this grill. Next time i install one, ill know to wire first, then install the grill second.

I haven’t watched all your films, but I would suggest upgrading to a melling high pressure oil pump and replace the phasers and chain guides rather than upgrading the aesthetics. I have a 5.4 3V and that would fix the real issues.

Just actually found the kit. The link didn’t work anymore but I found it. Materials are pretty much on par with any high end aftermarket stuff I’ve bought in the past. The actual grille seems well built and pretty tough plastic. Let’s see if it lasts. I’m going to wrap electrical tape around my connectors for wishful thinking

NICE VIDEO! and for the clearance lights, you could've just used a "add-a-circuit" Fuse tap and ran the positive from the park lights fuse, And just grounded to the vehicle and they will come on whenever your park/headlights are powered, And if you wanted to go a step further you could Through the pain staking task of running the wire through the grommet and into the cabin to a switch

I would have ran the wires behind the hood heat shield so there out of the way so when you close the hood and don't lay on the hot engine parts or something moving on the engine .

I just purchase the grill and front and back lights for my 2005 F-150 can't wait to install great job in your instruction.

Good Job. Thanks for the easy to follow instruction.

Just purchased this raptor grill and was looking for some splicing tips and came across your video. Wanted to say thanks to you. Great job !!

I found this video and was fortunate enough to find a grey Raptor grill for my 04. Going to be using this video as a guide once it gets here. Enjoying the channel and thanks for the content!

This popped up when searching this and instantly saw the optic gaming shirt. Champs is this week.💚💚💚💚

Beautiful bro!!!🫶🏽

watched so many times and finally tried it out and works perfect thanks to you very grateful rn

Best install video on the tube!!! I have a 14 f150. Put the raptor grill on today. However I didn’t know about installing the 4 bolts to the inside of my grill. I already pushed the clips in on the hood, and bolted down the bottom of the grill. I’m afraid that if I try and pop out the grill that I will break the clips. With all the 2014 f150’s the clips always break when lifting out the grill, you have to use a pry tool. The set up is kinda different than yours..slightly. Still have to do the amber lights..

Changed out the grill and headlights on my truck and it all came out great! Thanks for the help great video!

Hey man, great videos and very helpful! Keep them coming! I just referenced this video for my raptor style grille on my 08 60year anniversary, very informative and easy to follow your videos. I was also going to install a K&N cold air intake until I saw your part 2 to that one and now I'm just going to do the K&N filter instead. Again, very helpful bro, keep it up!

I just Bought an 06 F150 STX I have a lot of questions and there’s a lot of things I wanna do to my truck thank you for this video I am definitely subscribing to your channel

those square 'washers' you used on the bracket with the screws...those hold the bolts on the top of the grille so they don't spin while attaching.

Thanks for the tips! Good video. And I like to pre-run my wires before I plug them in… it helps if you want to chase through something…

You should put The wires behind fire blanket

Love these videos ! Convinced my old man that I’m gonna do this but he don’t think it’ll look good my neighbor has a 06 and it looks sick!

Used this during my install… much appreciated my dude!! Love all the content

Thanx Just bought one Will install today

I just bought a grill like this along with headlights and tail lights, so glad I watched this video, thank you for what you do and keep up the awesome content. I'm definitely subscribing lol

Good job Andrew! You’re an electrician on the side too!

Andrew I love this grill. Looks so good on my truck.

Just finished installing Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Awesome work, definitely i’ll be doing this to my f150

Just an FYI those "square washers" you put the Phillips screws into the grill with were meant to hokd your bolts in place at the stop the square head bolts you had so much trouble with. Pre-install them and tighten down the sqaure nut onto the bolt threads from the other side and it holds the bolts nice and rigidly so they don't move. Other than that great job

Great content. I will say one thing. If you live in a climate with bad winters and where vehicles rust let all those bolts soak in some pb blaster before taking it off. If you don’t you will play hell getting the old grill off!

Thanks again Andrew. Installed and lights working. Looks great bud

Trucks looking sweet man keep up the good work

Great video I just would have ran the wires underneath the hood insulation

All you’re videos are very helpful thanks keep up the great work 👍 easy to understand and do.

Great video! Thank you for being so informative and including the links in the description

Sweet video. Im looking at a 04 FX4 tomorrow morn. Im excited. Def getting that grill. Thanks! Subbed.

Subscribed, very helpful video. Also liked the closing metal 🤘🏽

Just bought this grill!! Thanks for the video!!

So you connect red with red , and black with black?

Great Video! You just got yourself a new subscriber. Keep the content coming bro!!!!

that was awesome and very easy to do, thanks for the video!

splices are great if you want the wiring to corrode

Good how to video. I plan on ordering these soon.

Great video man! Thanks

I just installed this grill. But the square nuts are not washers. I used those in the studs so they would keep falling out. So square top stud slides into the groves. Then square nut goes on to stud. I did that because the count was right 7-7-7. There are eight screws that hold on the brackets.

Hey buddy I just got my grill today imma install. It and follow your steps thank you 🔥💯👍

Ithink you can attach the black wire to any bolt that is in metal frame work since black is ground. Want to change my grill on my 2004 f150 fx4 to raptor

I installed this grill on my 2006 f-150 followed your video for instructions did everything the same way but for some reason my hood won’t close all the way

Yay I am learning f150 because I just bought one.

I liked the video , only suggestion I got is maybe tucking those hanging wires behind the insulation on the hood. I’m just worried about them touching a hot component and melting other than that grill looks guuuuureat.

Awesome video. Still helped me a year later! where did you get your fender flares?

Love the way you explain everything ..great job...

Man that grille looks awesome

quick question which light did you tap into, looks like the blinker. Can you clerify?

2500 subs and has better quality vids than many people with 2.5mil subs

Anybody know why it doesn’t come with the f and r already attached ?

The grill lights turn on but not the little bulb I connected them too, where did I go wrong?

Just a suggestion, but wouldn't an extended harness running under the padding ,across the inner fender, to the left parking light be much better ?

Why didn't you hook it up to the headlights? I just got my grill today. I want the grill lights to come on with the headlights. Would that cause any problems?

Thanks for the tips Andrew, I believe I can do that now.

your link does not work. DO you know another place to buy

Is it possible to switch the letters around and make it say FROD, DORF or anything?

I bought one and mine did say that it said EOMD before I swapped the it out for the F and R but don’t have wrench to take grill off so gotta either borrow from someone or buy one for myself because it doesn’t look that hard to do and it only looks like it’ll take about 20 or 30 minutes to do

Love your videos buddy, very helpuful ✌🏻✌🏻

Great tutorial can’t wait to install mine

I have the grill already, how hard is it to replace the led's if one burns out.

Cool and precise video, great job.

Can I put this on an expedition?

Do they make other letters so you could change name altogether

Hey Andrew, Thank you for your videos, they help. So, I installed the grill on my son's 05 and light do not come on. I double checked connection that gets the splice and it's correctly made, but lights don't come on and now the audio to radio does not play. I checked fuses and they all looked ok. I reached out to manufacturer and they are sending a new harness. At first during install I was concerned that connection wires coming from LED was so close to hood lip they would be crimped and cause issue. Not sure what is going on, any suggestions? Appreciate you

Very cool brother thank you for the help much appreciated 👍🏽💡💡💡👍🏽

You're using your turn signal? I used my parking light,like I thought you were supposed to,but my parking light has 3 wires one of them is white,I tried the black and the faded red wire,clamped it down using the quick splices, watching your every move and nothing..You have any suggestions? I've read the old wiring alot of times prevents the connection because of the corrosion build up making it hard for the metal connector to penetrate

Do they have this grill for my 2006 f150 WITHOUT the 3 Amber lights????

I love it man ! Im a new follower to this, ...and Ima try it on my 2004 F150 Thanks!!!

Does it matter what side headlights you run those wires to?

Dude AWESOME vid! Truck looks bad ass

Sadly, the link does not work anymore for the raptor grill

Your videos are so helpful thanks 👍👍
