    Oddly enough, when I use the add a fuse the raptor lights work, but I lose my right hand low beam. One or the other works, but not both. Is there a better way of powering the Raptor lights? 2018 OR.

    Some of them have 2 fuse slots in the add a fuse. Make sure both slots are filled.

    Both are filled. Top fuse it came with is a 15, bottom is the 10A out of the original spot.

    "INJ" fuse location for under the engine bay. There are better ones inside the cabin.

    Yup. It's a key on power. Anytime the key is on, the raptor lights will be on.

    But does that circuit have enough to power both? That’s what I’m thinking is happening. 15A seems like a lot for a 4 LED Raptor light kit.

    WAG here. Change the direction of your add-a-fuse. In other-words flip-it and re-insert it into the fuse block and see if anything changes.

    So I don’t because the lead is directly up against the lid. But regardless. I did flip it and try it and it worked. HOWEVER, I fiddled with the two fuses and reinserted the add a fuse in the original orientation and it worked. I did change both low beams to LED prior. So, it seems to be ok at the moment.

    Umm...what does the low beam being LED have to do with the INJ fuse and the "Raptor" lights?o_O
