This is the standard that all other install videos will be held to from here on in.

Wasn't going to go this way but after this video finishes, I'm ordering those lights immediately!

Excellent video content! I noticed that the lighting setup features 12" Stedi ST3302 LED units with a current draw of 5.9 amps each, totaling 11.8 amps for both. It's worth highlighting that the positive and negative connections provided by Ford for Aux 6 support a current draw of up to 25 amps. Consequently, there's no necessity for an extra relay in this configuration. This setup is well within the specified limits, ensuring a safe and reliable operation.

Thanks for the great, detailed video. Bought the kit from Trailbait because of it and installed it myself with your step by step instructions. Keep up the great work!

Mate, I'm normally just a troll online. But top video. Good job, keep this sort of thing coming mate

[shoden]

Amazing video, great and detailed installation guide which will make my life easier installing anything under the grill for my ranger raptor. Love your positive attitude and keep up the great work.

Hi, good video! However EU Raptor has a louvre in front of the radiator, did someone mount one on a EU model? Or does someone know if it will fit? I tried to measure and seems tight..

[barrylingard]

Great video mate. Very informative and simple to follow. Cheers

[alexrizzo]

Legend placed my order and came here and made me sleep easy knowing I’ll be able to install these no drama

[AndrewPetrieNZ]

Nice video. Why did you not connect the pos and neg from the lights directly to the Ford supplied connections to Aux 6 and leave off the loom with relay and switch? Ford have provided the pos and neg wire with fuse and relay, and switch.

[Jimmy_Saf]

Excellent video bro. Good job and seems easy enough to install 👍🏽

[dustybum]

Thanks for the interesting video. Any chance you can post pics of the low beam, high beam without ligth bars on and then with the light bars on so we can see how much light the light bars add to the high beam light??

Yes MORE ranger content I have a lariat that I’m slowly modding so love seeing what u guys do. I really wish I had the funds to send me ranger to APG & get some wide body action! Or I wish I could buy the body panels & axels for the Australian raptor ranger! Has anyone tried to create a 4th gen raptor ranger in the US other than going all in w/ APG with this current gen.?? I’m sure trying to buy the Australian parts would be real spendy but curious if it’s even possible, I love the look of the raptor ranger down under/UK. Would love to see the overland, or Baja/desert or diesel truck content all & any ranger stuff I will be watching for sure.

awesome job on the video! super useful.

[Sly_Wolf_]

Excellent video content. Great installation too.
I just wonder if I could be bothered the remove the grille each time to give them a good clean, just to remove the winter road salts and grime along with and mud.

[ArcticRRaptor]

Just wondering if this takes advantage of the factory accessory switches on the roof in the cabin. So you can turn the light bars on/off and be able to have high beams without the light bars. I’m pretty sure being able to turn them on/off separate to the high beams is a legal requirement too

Great details install video (Y) Thanks, I would like to asses the setup once I get mine in a few weeks. I would ideally prefer a single long bar, not sure about the factory brackets and if I can make it work. If not, I'll got the Stedi or Ultra Vision - TrailBait system also.

[drakensberghiker]

Very impressed you did it all with one hand 🤪

[shanegrime]

I’ve got the same car and followed all your steps, video was perfect and helped with every step

[alvarocruzat]

Hi, one question please, to change the front headlamps (to upgrade to the Raptor Headlamps) you need to do the same of these video and remove the front grille?

[japonle]

Hi. I followed the installation, step by step from your video. The LED bar will light up when I turn on the #6 switch even if the headlight is in low or high beam. Need your advice. Thanks
