cut a slice in the rubber grommet and push the wires through. the way you ran the wires they are squeezed between the grommet and the sharp steel of the truck firewall.
These bars are fantastic! I’ve got 2 mounted on my 2008 f-150! One behind the grill & one in the lower intake area, as you did!! Awesome product by F150LEDS
As a 30 year veteran auto mechanic, let me tell you about the engineering behind plastic retainers.. it takes it takes 6 pounds of pressure to remove them. It takes 4 pounds of pressure to break them during removal. Enjoy your modifications...
How do you get the wire from the light bar down under bumper/ The connection is too big to go through the metal parts to get it under. I spend 2 hours last night as well
Can you tell me where I can buy a Switchback turn signal bulb for the front for 2019 Ford F-150 XLT. I looked online I can't find anybody who carries them but if you could help me with that I surely would appreciate it thank you.
Perry Martin try the lasfit switch back turn signals for the 2018+ f150. I had them installed in my truck. It has a resistor built into the bulb so no annoying resistors. Its a simple plug in. It doubles as a white running light/ turn signal. The daytime running light has ok brightness but the amber turn signal flash is super bright.
are these light bar legal for regular road and highway....looking to get one but if they are just for off road, I'll have to nix that add on..looks great on your truck..
You should've shown how it's literally impossible to tighten the bar to the plastic with the supplied hardware. You skipped that part completely. I have this bar and added spacers between it and the intake piece. That's the ONLY way your going to get this unit tightened down properly.
Do you connect the red first then black to the battery cause I tried that and it was making a noise like it was sparking this is my first time trying to install something like this I’m just making sure this is normal
Just added it to the description sorry about that. www.f150leds.com/collections/2015-18-f150-leds/products/2018-f150-20-paladin-90w-curved-lower-intake-led-bar
I love your channel, but simply cannot support f150leds.com. they are SOO OVERPRICED. I converted my 2017 F150 to almost 99% LED (every exterior light but brake lights) High beams, low beams, box lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, etc... for significantly less than $200 total. Two years later I am still happy as a clam. Not one light has gone bad on me. I hate to rain on your parade but your viewers deserve better. Sorry but I have to keep it real.
That's fine man, theres always cheaper stuff out there and just like your case can last but the same rings true for about every other product you can get for your ride. There will always be someone cheaper but that doesnt necessarily mean it will last(more wont than will). If the quality it is there, warranty, feature and of course looks then I'll pay more for it.
In hindsight I paid $113.99 for the headlight set, low and high beam, and for 10 led lights for the license plate, and box lights kit. $17.99 for the 52 LED reverse lights. I also bought 2 sets of " KOOMTOOm 83mm Rubber Housing Seal Cap Dustcover for Headlight Install Conversion Kit Retrofit" at a cost of $27.96 shipped. These prices include shipping as I am an Amazon prime member. All that said I completely upgraded my truck to external LEDS for less than $200. It looks a thousand times better for under $200. Much like when HID's came out back in the day there were people cleaning house making profit when the technology was introduced. Please don't be that victim. Random Someone
Random Someone f150leds are expensive for a reason. Their High beams and low beam leds are the brightest led you can get and made of excellent high quality. Lights is not something u want to go cheap on. Its the same with tires. They have to be great quality
Dude, I spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to run the wires and after watching your video was done in 20 minutes. Your the man!
Those headlights are super bright as well

Good video I just put the kc single led hood lights on man and they look good. But I do like the led bar you did keep it up
Thanks for the video.

Awesome vid man! Thinking about doing this to mine.

F150 LEDs has nothing on their site for a 2023 .. or do I even see a replacement precut plastic mount.
Sucks to live in a state with a mandated front license plate.
Scott S. Yeah it does
Sir ,maybe u can find a front plate relocation bracket and still have the light bar.
How do you get the wire from the light bar down under bumper/ The connection is too big to go through the metal parts to get it under. I spend 2 hours last night as well
I'd put my 10 inch Rigid E series Combo up against your POS any time. You get what you pay for.
Hey, what headlights do you have on that 2018 truck? I like those too. Thanks.
Can you tell me where I can buy a Switchback turn signal bulb for the front for 2019 Ford F-150 XLT. I looked online I can't find anybody who carries them but if you could help me with that I surely would appreciate it thank you.
You can find a bunch on amazon that will work. You can try this one, a guy on the forum used it and said it worked great.

GTR lighting 4257 switchback turn signals. Fit my 2019 XLT, iBrightstar from Amazon do not fit.
I'm gonna wanna get one of those I just got that truck
Nice!!
How is the light bar holding up
Just watch that light bar after it gets wet. I ordered the same one and had condensation inside it despite there waterproof rating
Thanks for the heads up. Their warranty would take care of it though
are these light bar legal for regular road and highway....looking to get one but if they are just for off road, I'll have to nix that add on..looks great on your truck..
they are for offroad use only but thank you!!
So where wud u put the license plate ?
I dont need one in my state but I would just move it down to the lower part of the bumper underneath the light bar if I had to
License plate relocate?
What matt's do you have??
See I don’t know about mounting a light bar specially a big one just in the plastic I don’t trust that
Any issues with the intercooler being somewhat blocked?
Not in any way

I had mine tight just fine...
👍👍!
Where did you put the black box I just purchased this and no instructions
The black box just sits, it does not need bolted to anything
Thanks for the fast response your channel is the best
@@darkhorse3856 No problem at all, try to respond as soon as it pops up lol Thanks man I really appreciate that!!!
Do you connect the red first then black to the battery cause I tried that and it was making a noise like it was sparking this is my first time trying to install something like this I’m just making sure this is normal
@@darkhorse3856 I was always taught to do the black first but yes that is normal since you did the red first.
12:07 is it just the camera or does the LED bar dim the headlights when it’s on?
No it doesnt, has nothing to do with the headlights. Just how the camera looked
pretty sure he was turning the bar on when he said off
What floor matts are those?
There will be a vide on those coming shortly, keep an eye out!! 😁
Hey do you notice any difference after putting the led bar in the lower grill. Just curious
nope not at all, temps are all still the same
Link?
