‼️ UPDATE FORD E-RAPTOR grille swap and install tutorial

[AZT9]

Hello, you said you tapped into #22 from another thread recommendation. In the manual it says 22 is the Electronic power assist steering module. This is the correct one?
Also, are they mini or micro fuses.

I’ll double check the fuse used. It is a micro fuse. I’ll get back to ya shortly

I used fuse 190 based on this post:

Worked fine for me.

I didn’t get install photos, but the camera is in just about the same spot as the OEM grille.
And I used the camera mount that is flush with the OEM Ford circle, so it’s taped for now flush on the grille so the angle is the same as the OEM grille

It looks aligned to me. I still have to epoxy the camera mount to the grill. Then it should be perfectly aligned since the camera is mounted in about the same exact spot as the OEM grille.
When I disassemble it a little so epoxy the mount, I'll get some more photos.

I used the oval mount too. I think I'm going to switch over to the old raptor mount though as it projects a little more. Got one on order. Fingers crossed.

I was first thinking of trying to use the oval and cut out a hole and mount the entire oval onto the grille. But I like the clean look how the grille looks now. When I get time, I’ll take the duct tape off and epoxy the camera mount in and put some silicone between the camera and the hole and be done with it.

Hi, I love this idea! Question: I have a 2023 Lightning Lariat, and it does not seem to have a sprayer for the front camera. I have my wife run the windshield wiper sprayer while I’m in the front watching and nothing comes out to spray the camera. Did Ford delete this feature in 2023 model year? Does this mean all I probably need is to order the 2 mounting brackets and it the 3rd part for the sprayer?

PS, I purchased a Raptor Grill made for the Lightning from an online retailer called Garage Alpha Offroad. I opened the package and looks to be a solid product so can’t wait to get this done.

if anyone has any comments or guidance please let me know. Thanks!

Hi there, I checked that companies website but I don't see the grill on there. What options did you select to find it?
