3 Front Grille LEDs (pre-runner/raptor style)

[BluGuy]

Well, I did it! I figured it out. Getting the grille off was trickier than expected. The grille is different than the regular Silverado grille and connects at different points. But here’s the final install. These are Oracle Prerunner light kit. I bought the three year warranty on them as a precaution but the build quality seems great. Used 3M emblem tape to attach though I could have used small zip ties (provided with the kit). Spent the most time getting the darn grille off! Overall spent about 2 hours start to finish.

Got a day time pic with the lights.

Those look good. I hadn’t run across those when I was looking. My setup came with 3 lights per harness as well. So I could add two more light but that felt like it might be too much. I might add one to the middle. Odd number feels better aesthetically but it involved drilling to mount where I did.

If you haven’t taken the grille off yet, i recorder a video and will post it.

Thanks, I have not taken it off yet.
I did look over what it might take to remove it.
But a video to watch would be great. I appreciate the info.

Hope this helps, but let me know if there are any questions. I am going to open her up again to tweak a thing or two and can grab additional shots if needed. Removing The Front Grille

Looks good! Can you do five lights, one centered under the flowtie?

Yes! You can. Been thinking about it and tinkered today. Had to drill a small hole and there is just enough space to get the wire behind it and under the mount for the grille.

I just wanted to say thanks Blu Guy for taking the time to show how to remove the grill. Yes, it is a little tricky the first time. But once you know where the clips are it would be easy next time. I put my grill lights in a different location, just a row lower and had to do some serious modifying to the grill so it would accept them. Being from the custom paint and body biz in my past it wasn't too scary. I think they look cool and will put everything back together today then off to install my kicker sub inside and a light bar in the lower back tailgate area.

That's a lot of lights...sometimes less is more.

I missed this post before. It really looks good with five lights.

I am so glad it was helpful! Your lights look great. How are they connected for power?

I did all the set up with installing the lights and wiring in the grill myself. I had the dealership connect them to the fuse box since I could find a solid answer from anyone where to jump them into.
Here is a photo of where they plug in (red wire) they will run only while the time the truck is running (day or night). The same day I had the dealership install the Putco light bar on the back lower tailgate area and the Kicker sub woofer inside to boost up the Bose stereo. I'm happy with how all the results came out with lights and sound. Thanks again for the help with the grill removal.

Finally got a night time pic:

Love the five bulbs.

I would like to do the same. The biggest issue of all is not the electrical connection part, but how to attach the lights to the grill.

Well, I did this mod, I think it looks good! It looks very stock as well, I've actually had people ask me what package I bought to get the marker lights. It's actually the high quality Led light strip from AVS. I just used the light bar and threw out the hood wind deflector. I had to drill one small hole to get the wiring inside, but unless you inspect it super closely, it looks stock.

Would like to mount three LEDs behind the grille (pre-runner/raptor style). Not looking for a while light bar, but three individual light units. Found a few on Amazon with so so reviews. Found a set from Oracle (https://www.oraclelights.com/produc...re-runner-style-led-grill-light-kit-new-style) though not sure they will fit.

Curious if anyone has done something similar or has any input on if this would/wouldn’t work without much tinkering.
Thanks!

I mounted 3 x 32" single light bars behind my grill in front of the shutters didn't think it would work but got em in

A guy on Facebook (Nathan Evan) 3D prints mounts that fit within the grille openings. I bought some and mounted them with white LEDs on my 2022. A month or so ago he posted he was running another batch through his 3D printer. I bought them for my 2024.

Just ordered the 4 pack with the white lights as well. Nathan was quick to respond. Thanks for the info!
