New lights.

Read this thread. Worked amazing on my painted rims. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/303-graphene-nano-spray-coating.10062/

When do you want them to turn off? Won't that affect which circuit you use, also? *Edit - I should note I'm doing a similar thing with bed lighting at the moment. Looking to use the circuit that supplies the factory tray lighting in the rear sports bar. Easy (I hope) to access on the Aus spec...

Cool. As someone from Oz who is converting a few select pieces of trim to Wildtrak spec (colour mainly), I'm interested to see what you're going to do!

And three mins after I finished drying it, it’s now pissing down. Again. Love Australia ?

Suffice to say it was a little easier to clean this morning. Had to do it in a crap spot, but washed and dried as well as any car I’ve ever done. That’s see how long this lasts.

Closest I could find to a flat wall, to adjust the new fogs. The factory ones just would have just flooded this whole area with dull, yellow light. These have a very clean, defined beam, like any, well designed LED or HID should. A little bleed in places, but I’ve had worse from factory main...

Grabbed a pair of Raptor LED fog lights to replace these jokes. Raptor ones looked better from the start Huge difference, not just in colour, but beam spread. Yup, still raining. Old was basically a mini flood New have a nice, tight spread of light and heaps of adjustability, just...

Works a treat doesn't it?! I haven't had time to try anything else at home, hopefully this weekend I do.

So after the second coat, the rain has hardly eventuated, but when it has rained, it's back to this. I'm going to hold off on a third coat (second on wheels) until I have a bored day over Christmas. For the time being, let's see how it goes shaken, not stirred.

Found it - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/313656973653 This is the model I got and works perfectly with my 2021.25 XLT. I'd lend you mine, but a bit far to send it mate.

You can, I think I got mine off Ebay, I'll have a look. If not, I'll get the Ford part number off my unit. Bear with me.

So, I was pretty agitated about the result today, along with the not shaking thing. So I figured stuff it, and gave it another coat. This time I shook the bottle. Vigorously. I also applied a little more than the first time and gave it a little longer before buffing off. To the eye, looks...

Phew, lucky the shit’s not expensive or anything ? I’ll try again next week. Then do the wheels again. FML.

Before you pull anything off, go on Amazon, buy the genuine ford training tool (it’s about $15us from memory), follow the stupidly easy instructions and relearn the sensors. Then you have the tool for when you rotate tires anyway, win-win. I’ve had a few different issues with the TPMS system...

It seems to have dried off ok in the wind, while we were out. Still a few spots, but I’ll give it that, it does look ok for a truck that wash quickly washed and then driven without drying off. I’ll leave it for a week, try and get a second coat on and see what happens. One thing you mentioned...

Maybe you’re right? I’ve just always looked for beading as a sign it’s repelling water. I don’t have time to dry it (it’s going to rain anyway), so I’ll just take it out as it is and see what happens. I hope you’re right and I'm wrong here, because im just about overspending my weekends trying...

Roof unedited, simply quick wash and left without drying at all. Wouldn’t know it had had a coat of anything. I wish I knew this, I’d have taken more time and done two coats on the wheels while I had them all off. It’s not going to last five seconds on them.

And the shock result…. After being so excited after coating it, first Wash and basically no beading, other than on the glass and a little on the doors. Looks like rain washed it all off. I’ll try a second coat when I can, but at this stage, pretty poor result.

I think you’re right mate. I’m going to give the Ranger a quick once over before I go out, see how it comes out.
