Adding Lights to Grill (Raptor Style) - Issues Help Please

[Shiner Bock]

I am new to this site as you can tell, I was extremely active on Ford Truck World back in the day if anyone else was on there but I believe it is since, have come back to Ford trucks have been looking for a good resource for tech on my new truck.

Specs: 2025 F150 Crew cab FX4 5.0L XLT package black on black.

I am trying to install these lights in the grill:

I have been researching this, page 479+ specifically for fuses:

Watched this, I do not have an F21 on my truck


I have tried passenger headlamp No. 22, vehicle power No. 17, and vehicle aux 3. Lights of course will turn on, but they stay on, so I need to find a fuse that is not a constant hot when the truck isn't running and one that will only allow lights on when truck is running, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Instead of running to a fuse, you could run it directly into the headlight wire harness. Those don’t have power until commanded by BCM. Fuses in the fuse block have constant power and ground is usually commanded on by PCM or commanding module. You can buy wire taps that work flawlessly. Added raptor lights to my 2013 f150. Different set up but same concept.

Hey guy you may want to go out to f150.com and check. I replaced my grill with one with lights and they had a harness that plugged into the headlight harness that works out perfectly. It had two wires for connecting thing like the grill lights without cutting into factory harness

UPDATE: Ended up tapping the driver's side DRL, it's only two wires. From the light kit I wired black to colored and red to white and they work perfectly now. Thanks everyone.
