    Yup work perfect now, apparently my battery died right after I installed them. Bought a new battery and the truck has been running great!

    Ordered their white grille lights but unfortunately they were all too large and wouldn’t fit in my OEM Pro grille so I had to return them...major bummer.
    I could’ve tried to enlarge some of the holes (not even the very top row) but it just wasn’t worth the trouble. Curious as to why, thinking these lights should all be uniform in size. I know not every grille opening is the same size and watching their video showed how easy it was to just snap into place. I tried every configuration layout; vertical, horizontal, etc. no dice, they just don’t fit.
    At least these guys have prompt customer service, I emailed them and they got back to me the next day w return shipping label.

    I complained about the same problem. I bought from them and 2 of the 3 were extremely tight to the point the scratched my oem grille. I stuck the third in but it was loose. I was able to use epoxy to a piece of plastic to hold it in. They ended up telling me these lights only fit plug and play for their grilles which is a joke because they didn’t say that on their site. It’s a shame because they are nice lights. I think each batch of lights they get are not exact size.

    Outer 2 are very snug and the middle is loose like almost falling out on the oem grill.

    Yes exactly as mine. After I snugged everything up with zip ties too it held it in place good. I haven’t seen any movement. Had it on for about a week.

    Same they are good lights! I like the YotaLeds a bit better because they come with metal brackets that tighten over the grill. The R4T lights scratched my grill a bit but not noticeable at all. Might upgrade later down the line but the R4T match my Morimoto amber fogs almost perfectly.

    Did yours come with 10a and 15a? If so, did you still tap into a 10a in the box?

    I agree, they scratched my grille a bit too, luckily not noticeable. Yeah they are excellent lights, I really like them a lot. The output is great, matches hikari ultra low beams and rigid pro fogs.

    I used the provided wire harness and fuse tap supplied by R4Ts. Followed their online video for power by removing the 10 amp fuse and inserting the tap fuse per thir instyctions. My lights come on when I turn my headlights on. Have had no issues!

    A lot of people with recent orders from R4T on oem grille have had problems. Two outter extremely tight and inner very loose. That’s how mine were. They told me they only guarantee plug and play on their aftermarket grille through email and not on their sale page. You must of gotten a good batch. I think each shipment of lights they receive are slightly different when they receive them from supplier, in regards to fitment size.

    I’m on my second pair of grille lights from R4T. I have the fitment issues on my OEM PRO grille but made it work. My issue was that after a few months the lights started to fail. I noticed corrosion inside the light housing and some of the LED’s just stopped working. They sent out a new set free of charge but now after a few months the same thing is happening. I ordered a set of Yota’s so hopefully I’ll have better luck when they come in. The Tuan’s are great guys but I think they should look into the quality of they’re lights with their supplier.

    just some unnecessary tires
    I’m sure it’s been said a thousand times already, but I love my runnin 4 tacos lights. Though they didn’t fit perfectly and I had to glue them. High quality wiring.

    Glad they fit in your OEM Pro grille, unfortunately they didn’t fit in mine. I had to return them.

    Can anyone comment on the fit of the recent batch of pro grille lights for an aftermarket pro grille? Looks like a few months ago members were having issues with some top tight and top loose (appears to be linked to oem grilles however)

    After I returned them I did not order new ones. That was about 5 months ago. Sorry bro.
    I was bummed and a little irritated that an after market product that was designed for an OEM part did not fit properly; it wasn’t just one hole, I experimented w all possible combinations and the four lights I bought only fit in just a few of the openings and the fit wasn’t precise either.
    I rate the fit an F, but an B+ To A- for customer service. They refunded my money. Can’t say anything about quality or performance because I had zero experience w them installed.
    There are numerous other vendors selling various different styles.
    Good luck.

    Thanks man. I really like the look of the smoked white lights so I'll probably give it a shot and if it's still not fitting right I'll just return
