    Wiring is solid. 8 months later, lights still work with no issues.

    If you do install with add a fuse go to the low beam. The raptor lights will be on when your lights are on. If you go to the drl fuse your raptor lights will stay on with the truck off.

    A little late to the party here but I have read through all of the posts and am now more confused than when I started... I want to install my raptor lights so that they are only on when I turn the headlights on. I just don't see the purpose in having them on during the day since they aren't really going to be bright enough to see. Is there a way to do this with the add a circuit?

    I have only been seeing people use the add a circuit to have the raptor lights on all the time when the engine is on.

    Help please? o_O

    Yes, my kit came with the add a fuse installed to the end of the harness. The black goes to ground, the red goes to a marker light. Simply look at the video, unplug the fuse and put the fuse into the add a fuse then back to the fuse panel. Are you confused yet. It's so simple. Mine come on when I cut my head lights on. There is a video from running4tacos. Don't use the ing fuse. I will see if I can find a pic or video.

    Was this in response to me? I guess I am just confused about which fuse to tap into... I don't really use my DRLs much, and they aren't automatic on my truck (as far as I know), so I just want them to be on with the low beams and high beams. I see three fuses labeled H-LP LH-LO, H-LP RH-LO (assume these to be low beams for left and right?...) and them H-LP LO (Why is there a 3rd?)

    I bought the running4tacos amber 4 light set and had it on my truck for a while. They snapped in fine and the wiring harness was easy to route/install. The add-a-fuse was easy (into the headlight fuse)- and ran the wire around the edge of the fuse box. The wiring harness was long so it made it easier to route (just had to zip tie the excess out of sight). Never had issues with them falling out or burning out.

    I just took them off last a week ago though for a different look- if anyone is interested in some, I’m willing to part ways (DM me).

    Show us what YOU see...

    upload_2019-9-9_21-11-16.jpg

    H-LP = HEADLAMP
    LH = LEFTHAND
    RH = RIGHTHAND
    LO = LOW
    HI = Hi

    The larger square drawing with the H-LP LO is the relay...

    Yes the ones you boxed off in the bottom left are the ones in question... two above that box is "H-LP LO" on a 15A fuse though...and I didn't know what that one was. So if I wanted my raptor lights to be on with the high and low beams, would I have to tap into both the LO and HI (both of the ones you boxed in red) fuses somehow..?

    The 15A fuse provides power to the Headlamp LOW Relay (Left & Right) then each lamp has its own 10A fuse.
    upload_2019-9-9_21-29-20.jpg
    Just tap any of the LOW fuses(10A) for your added lamps to be ON. Some models do not turn OFF the Lows with the Highs...I don't know if yours is different.

    Lets just hope that the lows still have power when the highs come on... Guess I will find that out. Going to tap into the low like you suggested. Thank you so much.

    Installed my yotaleds grill lights today ... perfect fit and only took about 25-minutes
    Yes they are expensive but quality made, the metal brackets are a perfect fit in the grill slots .. wiring was simple as it's just one ground wire and the add-a-fuse you just plug in your fuse box low beam 10amp so grill lights are on when lights are on.

    I did not modify it's plug and play depends where you need to put it. If you put on the top of your grill then you need to modify or trim ur grill . I put mine second row .
