    Got the new grille from KOKauto installed last weekend along with the raptor lights. Everything works, lights and sensor. Now I’m concerned about the wiring when i have the chance to wash my truck. I noticed the wiring of the lights are exposed behind the grille. Never thought about the wiring getting wet until now

    Btw I’m definitely a rookie when it comes to these things and I don’t want to mess up anything.

    Not sure what you mean by exposed. Pictures would help.
    Nice look on the new grille and lights

    Most kits generally have some sort of weather sleeve around the wires and maybe a little may show as it gets closer to the plug. But all have the rubber grommets where the plugs connect to prevent water getting in. You shouldn’t have issues, I’ve had mine for over a year with many washes and no issues.

    Ha! Dude, I just installed mine over the weekend too. That material is rubbery goodness to protect from the elements. Zip tie it nice and pretty along the top of the grille so it's not flopping around and it'll be fine. How long the LEDs last ... I've also got my first warranty claim in. Had one d.o.a., but customer service was a breeze.
