So I finally got around to doing these two lighting mods today and after spending some time ( several hours ) using inconsistent connectors that weren’t making a connection to the wire I finally figured it out and the light was awesome.
The one middle raptor grill kit was bought at O O O O Riley’s for $32. It’s identical to the $99 F150Led’s.com kit that I ended up canceling my back ordered LED kit after I compared both kits that were identical down to the last detail.

The other kit I installed is the AVS marker light kit that I posted a week or so ago. It’s pretty slick, very custom fit and nice molded plastic finish looks OEM.

I would highly recommend both kits at this time.

Looks awesome! great info that the Oreilly's raptor grille lights are the same as the F15LEDs lights.
 
Did you wire to the upfitter switches or tap into the headlight power? Looks great; first time I have seen the AVS kit installed.

I hooked up to led headlight socket for power and grounded to screw on top of engine compartment. Initial impression is great, well see how it performs over time.
 
Looks good, but that roof light bar looks like a big air dam on the leading edge of the roof, which seems like it would add significant drag and noise at higher speeds. Have you noticed any elevated wind noise at freeway speeds?

No noise added at all. If you have the big sunroof there was already considerable noise. Adding this roof light spoiler did not make things any louder.

How is the reflection on the hood while driving at night?
