    Thanks for the reply! I have tried that configuration. In this configuration, when I press the switch (in on position) the LED bar symbol lights up and when I turn off the switch LED bar symbol turns off. But, the "LED Bar" lettering doesn't light up when I turn on the headlights/dashboard lights.

    That's the only thing I can think of. I'm not home today but tomorrow I will splice the green cable and make the connection directly hopefully that will fix this issue. But thank you very much for your help I really appreciate it!

    No problem, sorry I wasn't more help! Maybe a faulty switch? I can't imagine that being the case though. It seems like you have it right

    You have been a great help! I am leaning towards faulty switch. I have ordered a new Switch today what zombie lights and zombie logo on it. Should have ordered that switch in the first place:infantry:

    Thanks! By the way absolutely love your truck and your puppy! I wanted same color but they did have it stock so bought silver sky. I bought the because of my dog. He loves going for rides.

    Thanks! I really appreciate that! He's a sweet boy! Beautiful dog and truck as well. I considered the silver and white as well. I liked the blue the most but it was hard to find especially in the Sport model. Walked in to buy a white 2wd Sport and ended up with a blue 4wd Sport that only arrived the day before. I got a crazy deal right before Christmas. Super happy with the truck. Silver is really nice as well though! You can't go wrong with any of the third gens honestly. The inferno has grown on me a lot as well.

    Just wanted to let you know that I was able to resolve the issue. After you mentioned to check the tap-ins that is what I did. I replaced the tap-in and it worked like a charm! Once again that you very much for your help!

    Just got mine done. Appreciate the help that the walk throughs provided. Couple of items that are worth mentioning for others...

    1 - Below is a pick of where the oil cooler is attached. Don't get too crazy moving it once it's unbolted. It doesn't move too much, just enough to get it out of the way.

    2 - I would recommend that you come in from the passenger side with the light. It makes it a lot easier to get into place.

    To verify before I spend money:. Which brackets don't require you to cut anything?

    I'd like it to be a bolt in install without cutting the plastic grill/venting if possible.

    The Caliraised brackets don't need cutting. They just bolt on behind your bumper.

    With the caliraisedled light bars how would one periodically clean the lens of these bars being it's behind the lower grill or do you just not? Minus taking the whole thing apart.

    Qtips! LOL

    Wash it with a rag when you're watching that part of the grill.
