    I feel like lights in the scoop scream, “this is just how non-functional this scoop actually is”

    So I made my own Raptor lights years ago. They got trendy so I removed them and put them in the scoop. There is some fab work involved so maybe these won't get so trendy.20210515_150310.jpg

    Mods? We don't need no stinking mods.
    I'm going to JB Weld a skewp onto my Off Road just so I can add lights to it.

    What lights did you use, how much of a pain in the butt to make this work in the grill?

    Good morning!

    It's Friday.

    Another revived thread.

    I've got smoked Amber Raptor Lights on the grill...the Skewp Lights would be repetitive in my opinion.

    But the Skewp Lights on their own look great!

    I say either/or but not both.

    I found this great instructional video for adding a light into the skewp form a totally random YT channel.

    If you're removing parts due to them being trendy then I have some bad news about all your other mods :/
