I replicated what I saw someone else had installed on their 2017 in the fordraptorforum so thought I would post details here. These are the Rigid Ignite lights and they are installed in existing holes in the rear bumper. In order to provide a little more clearance for the wires without rubbing, I added some vinyl spacers that I dyed black with Rit dye, and also had to pick up longer bolts and washers at Home Depot. I bought a 1/4" wire loom and ran the wiring along the frame using clips from the rear up to the engine bay. I used weatherpack connectors everywhere for water-tight connections. Currently I just have it wired to Aux 6 so I can manually turn them on. I may wire them into the reverse at the trailer wiring harness as I did on my 2011, but that also tended to wash out the backup camera so not sure if I will do that this time. Lights installed in existing holes with spacers to allow more clearance for wires. Wire loom and clips to run along frame Weatherpack connector to AUX 6 lead Grounded to frame
Hey i have a few questions i would be interested in dsoing the same thing. 1- which wire harness do i have to buy? I am assuming you bought these for 129 in the rigid site but they dont seem to include a wire harness...alao how Easy is the install i am pretty handy but have never installed lights of any kind
You don't need a wiring harness, just get a spool of 2-conductor (black/red) wire and some 1/4" wire loom. These lights draw less than 1 amp each so you can use some fairly small wire, I used 18 ga which is probably overkill but worked well with my weatherpack connectors. Just put the run of wire in a 1/4" wire loom to protect it and run it all the way up into the engine compartment near where the AUX leads are located. I wired the red lead to the Aux 6 and grounded the black to a screw using a ring terminal. The lights will have a red and black wire lead on each. Just spice the red lead from one LED light to the black lead on the other and then connect the remaining leads to the corresponding leads on the wire to the engine compartment. I would recommend weatherpack or some other waterproof connectors, or at least use solder and heat-shrink tubing for all connections.
I don't think you are gonna find a Raptor-specific wiring harness. Find a buddy that knows how to make electrical connections to help.
there is a plug-n-play harness - but it's on a $269 backup kit https://www.apollo-optics.com/colle...roducts/2017-ford-raptor-reverse-lighting-kit
Baja Designs provides instructions and the harness for their lights. You don't tie into the auxiliary circuits. You wire directly to the left tail light, which has the reverse light circuit passing through it.
Check out They have a complete harness that's plug and play. http://starkey-products.com/ I ordered the Rigid 20 degree flood, and I deleted the switch in the order. I was told by Starkey that the part of the harness that you run into the cab for the switch only requires that you connect the blue wire to the up fitter in the engine bay. Just have to tape off the red and black that would be for the light in their switch. They also have video of an install on an F150. I will be doing the install this weekend.
What brackets and lights are these? I noticed last night in an unlit lot I couldn't see shit backing up and now over interested in adding some backup light. The wiring I can figure out, just the brackets and lights I am "in the dark" on.
