    Yes, the blue tooth connector is like $90 and is well worth the investment. Just shutting off the fake engine noise white noise alone made it worth it.

    I'll try to dig through the forescan cheat sheet i have and see if i can find it.

    Looks great, how was the wiring on the set up? Easy to plug in and connect under the hood?

    Looking to see if they'll put together a custom package......

    I was considering doing that so they could act as trail lights as well.

    Ford Raptor lights,
    Besides what's on their website, Jeff will do some custom combinations. I mixed up my lighting preference vs what their standard options were.

    The install is pretty simple. Read the directions a few times first, get some zip ties, drop the skid plate and the install of all the hardware will take maybe an hr.

    The problem i'm having is on the truck side of the equation, the under hood wire to uplifter switch #2 doesn't seem to have power and i had to run one of the lights to uplifter # 4. Works fine for the moment. I had a few other issues at first and can't pin point why but i don't find it to be hardware issues. First few times firing up the lights they didn't come on full power and flickered a bit. Problem has gone away. The other issue was all three light sets are ran to three different switches but when i threw one switch on i would have different lights on different circuits flicker on and off or partial power. This too seems to be self resolved.

    I'm leaving Saturday morning for the Raptor Assault course and plan to do a lot of playing off road in NM, CO, UT along the way. Once i get back i'll take my baby in for service due and have them check on these electrical issues.

    Looks great,

    Reached out to Jeff and had him modify light choices, went with: Squadron Racer Spot (for long range), Squadron Pro corning (for mid/short range) and the KC Flex for short range.

    I'll get some pics on my trip next week and get them posted.
