    Hey guys. Long time lurker. First time poster.

    watched all the install videos but for the life of me I can’t find the DRL purple and white wires to splice into for writing the raptor lights.

    Thanks for any help in advance. And thanks for all the great tips and content.

    Before you find the wires and touch ANYTHING, be sure to disconnect the battery for awhile. If you've done your homework here on TW, you already know that.

    Good luck. Pics when you're done.

    DRL has no purple, the TAIL circuit in the headlight has a purple wire.

    If I were you what ever wiring you use to connect to, put a connector inline at the grill point. That way if you ever need service, especially warranty, you can simply disconnect the connector and remove the grill rather than cutting the wiring.
