Hey I was wondering... would this be the same process/ wiring to hardwire the OPT7 Tailgate light to a 2022 Raptor?

@LivinWith3M

8 ай бұрын

Yes. It should be the same. But double check the ford factory wire colors on your 22 against my 18 in the video to make sure they haven’t changed colors. I don’t think they have changed but can’t be certain.

Just watched your video, seems simple. I have a 2023 F-150 that i'd like to wire a light bar to my tail lights. Where did you get the wire diagram? I've been trying to find on line and not had any luck. I did right down notes from your video. I just don't want to screw this up.

@@LivinWith3M heck yeah man! Gibsonville for me.

I installed this via hardwiring it into my 49 Chevy half ton. Worked great for a while, then all of a sudden the brake light function and turn signal function both quit working on the right half of the unit(right side of truck). Anyone else encounter this problem? I went back and verified all my connections are good and there are no shorts in my new circuits as well as my original wiring. It worked out of the box, I don’t know what would cause it to fail now. I’ve only been running it for a month

I hate it all of a sudden giving you trouble. Possible issue with the light bar itself? Hopefully someone will chime in with other experiences like this.

Hello! Great video but somehow if I can ask for a little help. I ran the same way splicing the left side taillight. My question is when you splice the left side, did you wire the other end to the 4pin connector? The led tailgate has 5 wires, left turn, right turn, red reverse, ground. Now if I took the wire from the tailgate light to hook up on brake, that would only work on brake. If I take that brake ( white wire ) to tail, that would only respond to parking ( DRL ). How did you connect so it work on brake and DRL? Any help truly appreciated!!

Brown mic tuning light wire goes to a blue wire with grey strip behind the drivers side lamp harness. This is the parking and also Brake light wire. This one wire does both the parking light and when you push the brakes it also gets brighter. I just looked back on the video and I am realizing that I did not make that clear. I’m very sorry about that. So if you connect the brown wire to the blue with the gray stripe, that will give you parking lights and brake lights. You have to do all of this at the tail lights and not lower down near the trailer connect plug. if you are tapping in at the tail lights, you will see the blue wire with the gray stripe. Please let me know if this makes sense. Thanks.

So I’ve been researching. What year model is yours? On my 2018 my stock lamp assembly I have the dual filament bulb. Meaning my top bulb is a parking lightbulb but it’s also the brake light bulb. So the blue wire with grey stripe connects to the brown mic tuning and works fine for me. Yours may be different and have multiple wires for brake and parking. I honestly don’t know at this point. Let me know your year model and also are your tail lights the Blindspot monitoring BLISS. Mine are.

Overthink things much? Lol looks good.

Yes for mine it did. Because my bulb is a dual filament parking and brake light. I’ve had some guys with different model trucks ask me about theirs having two separate parking and brake bulbs. Which I can’t advise those.

@@LivinWith3M I was thinking about this. I noticed you have the same wire notations and my 2021 F150. Stop wire and Park wire.

I built a flat bed, would it be possible to run this system as the main tail lights? I have 4 wires coming from my truck, I have left and right turn signals, running lights, and brake lights. I'd there a way to get it to run into the 4 pin harness?

@LivinWith3M

I feel sure you could splice the wires into the 4 pin and get them to work. Yes.

Did you have to worry about placing it low enough so tailgate wouldn’t pinch it.. when tail gate is down?

@LivinWith3M

10 ай бұрын

No sure didn’t. It was thin enough that I knew it wouldn’t interfere with the tail gate. I’m sure there are thicker hard plastic led tailgate lights that you may have to worry about making contact. But the mic tuning doesn’t come close to hitting it. 👍🏻

Easier to splice into the trailer plug wires. Can wire everything in on spot.

I used a butt connector that has heat shrink on it. I crimped it then heated it. I may have wrapped black tape around the outside of it but never recommend just using electrical tape. Sorry I should have put that in the video. Here is a link amzn.to/3rrID20

Mike, this looks awesome and I think I'll do it on my 2018 F150. I do have a question though. Does your Raptor have LED brake lights and Blind Spot Detection? I am thinking it looks like that in the video, but wanted to verify before I get too far into this. I had read a couple years ago when looking into doing this that there were issues on the Ford F150 with LED taillights lights.
