Raptor Lights, Hate ‘Em or Love ‘Em...What Do You Guys Think???

The Raptor is over 80 inches wide. Legally, this required additional lights. Traditionally, these light are placed on the roof. That is where most duallys still have them.
Ford decided to put them in the grille as an alternative to the roof.

Because the Raptor is cool, people started copying these amber marker lights on other vehicles less than 80 inches wide.

 

Here is an alternate option for a hood scoop specifically designed for Toyota Trucks meant to mount to and off road hood not a sport hood.

ALSO, DOT requires 5 lights, which is why the raptor uses 3 in the grille and the 2 marker lights for 5. Most taco raptors use 4 in the grille for 6 total.

So they don't even get the correct number of lights on a mod that they copied from a truck that they don't know why it has it.

 

If you got rid of that color matched first step, that would actually look pretty alright I think.

 

Come ready to paint and can be matched to your paint or left in Satin Black finish it is shipped to you in. All Air Design body armor parts are also paint ready and can be painted or left in standard finish. AIR DESIGN

 

I'm glad somebody else knows what they're for. I was starting to think I was the only one.

 

I like it. I prefer 3 to 4. Provides good visibility and looks cool.

 

Yikes.....

Double Yikes

 

Bingo lol

 

I like them.

 

Don’t give a rip

 

I like them...

 

Raptors, and every large truck on the road. It's not a Ford thing, it's a DOT thing. It does however make me think of scenes where a shadow of a big cat looms but only a kitty shows up but that's not a criticism, just an observation. Our trucks too small to need them but they do add a certain something.

 

I like them only on the Raptor. Installed on anything else, it’s copied...these copied Raptor parts are like the rice of the late 90’s and 2000’s but for trucks and SUVs. These kinda remind me of this stupid LED washer nozzles..

 

Just got the same set up.
Did u hook the wire to a switch or splice into one of the lights?

 

I’m in the love em crowd.

 

Does anyone have a solution to mounting raptor lights to the 2011 Tacoma grille?

 

Yikes.

 

Wired to the corner/parking lights.

 

Make a casting of the grill hex, make a mold, fill it with amber tinted epoxy resin, drill a 3mm hole in the back and glue in a 3mm led, repeat all but the first two steps 3 times.
