Flux Geare Hoodbeam Install

[rachunter]

The spreadsheet has 2 lines to change to change brightness. 726-42-01 controls when the C clamp LEDs are on. Stock mine are 726-42-01 0303 0101. Switching to 0202 changes from fixed DRL position to DRL position.. whatever that means. I stayed with 0303 as I didn't want to change stock behavior.. just brightness.
Brightness is changed with:

Thanks so much for your help, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Where are you all putting the flux geare? Are you attaching it to the hood or under the good above the grill? I have a bug deflector so am curious as I think mine might block it if you have to put it on the hood.

Not wanting to mess with a wire dangling or the hood weather stripping I attached the flux geare to the headlights and grill. Inset perhaps a pencils width so the flux geare is mostly invisible unless turned on.

I am not sure how much of the space a bug deflector uses so you will need to experiment there.

Just to clarify a behavior I suspected.. but could not easily reproduce unassisted...

The C clamp leds have 2 functions from the factory:

1) As DRLs they much brighter (daylight duh) and the brightness is controlled by a 726-38 setting (but not the one below). The plug and play harness for the raptor lights IS NOT HOT when the leds are functioning as DRLs. So no flux geare or raptor lights in day time.

2) As clearance/marker lights where they are naturally much dimmer. They frame the headlights. The raptor plug and play harness IS HOT when the leds are function this way. Brightness is controlled by :

If you want flux geare/raptor lights in daytime you will need to tap different wires. Or manually switch on your headlights.

I put mine along the top of the grill. I too have a bug deflector and it definitely blocks the hood beam when looking at it from ABOVE the hood line, but since most folks look up at my truck, it's not really an issue.

I can take some photos of it later today if you want.

Actually... I already posted photos and a video in post #34 of this thread.

The hoodbeam strip is back as far as I could put it, maybe 1/2" from the front edge ... if that.

Or use Forscan to turn on running/clearance/tail lights with as DRLs. Should have mentioned that earlier.

I think in the area of:
