The lower grille insert really makes the front end look finished. The glove compart organizer really surprised me with its functionality.

And no, that is not a flood light in my glove compartment! I just made sure to put one of my brightest LEDs in there when I rigged the light. I also lined it with some of the rubber non skid for carpets. Help keep noises down. Short sections of double stick tape hold the rubber in place easily. BTW, thanks to those who have sparked ideas and provided links to products.

I had one of those grills until I added driving lights. Keeps snow from accumulating on the sensor for the adaptive cruise and rocks and bugs out of the intercooler. I like the light.

It is NOT the Ford item. I bought g/c light fixture for a Chrysler product and modified it slightly to make it fit into the square(?) hole that the Ford item slips into. It takes a 194 bulb so the T-10 LEDs work fine. The biggest pain to make it work. I fished a wire to the fuse panel above the brake pedal and picked an always hot fuse to put the add a fuse adapter into. Ingenuity to attach the wire plus a ground to the socket and there you have it! The socket is designed for a connector, so attaching wires is a custom job. This socket costs about $10. The Ford item is over $30 and includes a very dim LED built in, but you still need to McGiver the connector. I don't ow for sure but I think the Lariat has this as standard equipment. Or did have early on. is a bit time consuming but it is worth it!

Looks like this. Shop around since this listed for up to $30 in some places. If you have more questions, DM me if you can.

After looking at the pictures I posted of the glove box, I realized that they looked like the ones I used to be critical of with the debris showing so obviously on the dark surfaces. Note to self: Clean the damn thing before playing photographer next time! Live and hope to learn.

Finally got around to installing my rear diff cover

Did you get this cover for drain convenience, or other reasons? My '21 has a drain, but the '22 does not. Hmmm.
