I'm planning to put two Morimoto 2banger SAE wide amber fog lights on the front bumper down by the air intake. Has anyone opened up various frunk and bumper plastic trim to get wiring and bolts in there? I have not tried to take the frunk tub apart yet to look. Trying to gather some intel on what I'm getting myself with the disassembly requirements. Ideally as little disassembly as possible.

Before some brings it up, yes I am aware that the lights will partially obstruct a small amount of the air flow. I am confident the conditions I drive in will be fine with no negative impacts. If it does, I will remove them. Not oblivious :)

There are a few videos on removing the frunk beeper, which to do so, requires removing the frunk tub. not crazy hard, but easier with 2 people or 1 ratchet strap.
Start there. Either in here, or on reddit: f-150Lightning forum.

I'm looking for a way to get some fog lights up front also.

I'm in the process of wiring these DRL's/fogs that I just installed above the recovery hooks. I wanted to stay away from mounting them in the area of airflow. I know that with small lights in the airflow area most likely will not create any problems but if the truck goes into the dealership with an overheating problem and the lights are mounted there good reason for them to say that's the cause and bye bye warranty. Just my opinion.

Nice. Can you show a close up of the mounting method down there? That's very clean looking!
Here is a pic of my install from underneath and some pics of what the lights look like and wiring. I am not wiring the turn signals. I just drilled two small holes in the plastic above the recovery hook and secured the bracket with two sheet metal screws.

Do you have a link for these?
