    Yup. Baja Rock lights as raptor grill lights. But just an FYI BD discontinued the orange color rocks, and not just have a yellow color.

    well.. the day I have been dreading has come. Routing the wire through the roof.
    after some hard liquor, and hesitation..I drilled through the roof:eek::goingcrazy:
    I tired every other possible route and there was no way to hide this thick of a wire on the exterior.
    I have no doubts about the waterrpoof seal..it's a marine grade coupler by blu-sea. PLus a shit ton of silicone inside.

    Those marine grade couplers do a great job. Plus it will be shielded with your deflector to keep most of the water off. Can't wait to see it all lit up at night...

    When cop cars get fitted with light bars they just drill a hole and silicone it. You should be fine.

    That's because they care what it looks like and didn't pay for the vehicle. We did...lol

    Okay thanks, they look like they attach in the same way as mine, with a screw on each side of the light. What did you put on the back to fasten it to the BAMF grille?

    It's ok.. it's a first gen:boink:
    But at least yours are in the rain channel and can be hidden easily. This is smack dab in the middle. I'm not worried as the light fairing will hide it, and I have no plans on returning to stock. Ever
    2 screws on each rock light through the grill holes and through a piece of aluminum flat behind it with the nuts on. Locks up tight and the aluminum can't hurt as a secondary heat sink


    What the hell is MESO up to now o_O

    Snorkel, but instead it dragging on the outside it's going in along the inside of the fender. You going to cut yet another hole in your truck :annoyed:. But for a good cause. Lol
    Can't wait to see

    Lol should do the trick, make sure it’s even on both sides of the truck you don’t want it to lean again.

    Must be for new power supply cable for your lights. Wouldn't fit under the headliner?
