Thanks for the confirmation!
And darn. I really wanted to increase their output a bit. The low beams are ok, but I feel like the high beams could definitely be brighter...
Newbie question here. I feel dumb almost even asking it.
I've got a 2020 Lariat and my headlights don't even appear to have the grey dust cover. As a result, I can't even find how to replace the bulbs because I can't find the back of them. Mine doesn't seem to operate anything like the pictures...
I think one of these "Shaft - Front Axle" would work. I don't think you can buy individual components of the axle.

That's consistent with what I read on the Amazon reviews for the Fuse taps I was looking at. Funny enough, they're not exactly the easiest parts to source without getting a whole bunch of extra mumbo jumbo I won't need. At least they're fairly cheap (although really expensive for what I imagine...
So I'm still drawing out this out on paper and I think I've got everything under the hood organized. My questions come back to the Lightforce switches though. Can you tell me if this makes sense given your instructions?
Wires coming FROM Lightforce switch:
Blue ("12v Power In") - I'm not...
I've got the OEM Black Platinum lettering on my Magnetic. Honestly, I think they would look great on other color trucks, but I find they don't stand out as much as I would like against the magnetic grey because they are almost mirror-like. Maybe it's just my angle though.
My magnetic truck is...
One final note, I used hose clamps to secure the boot. They were just a shade wide, but I was able to get them in tightly enough that I couldn't hear air when moving the joint. I also offset the screw head of each clamp by 180" so that it helps with balance. Not sure if that even matters.
I...
No, don't cut! Seriously, just get a set of metric offset wrenches from Autozone, Napa, etc. It is exactly what you need. Takes a pit of patience, but it's not difficult. I've already found other uses for the offset wrenches when detaching the sway bar end link to provide some wiggle room to...
Good news! I got it all back together!
I pulled the boot down low and inserted the inner and outer race onto the shaft first because of the clip that needed to go on the end. I had to make sure that the faces were in the same orientation as how I initially saw them. They yellow dots of paint...
I feel like I'm doing live reports as I learn here. :)
Looks like I don't need to remove the inner joint. After a bit of inspecting, I saw the retainer ring around the shaft that I was able to remove remove with a pair of bent-nose pliers (snap ring pliers on on my list to buy from a big box...
Nothing. The grooves of the shaft from the axle were nice and lubricated, but nothing came out of the differential. Not even any drops on the floor and it's been open for about 5 hours now.
Yeah, it's the inner CV joint. I think I figured out where that inner retaining ring goes once I get it bent back into shape. It goes in the groove of the outer cup. See my first picture in the additional photos comment i made (the one with the cup and the orange bucket as the background). I...
More pics. As you can see the retainer ring is f'd up. I'm going to have to bend that into position once I figure out where it goes. Also, there were about 4 bearings just floating around in the grease too. Could be because it appears that the upper cap has grooves which keep those bearings in...
So I did a similar thing just now but with my inner CV joint. Being a dummy, I forgot to remove the axle nut when installing one of my front coilovers. I took apart the CV joint by cutting the outer metal clip very carefully with a dremel and then use some small hand wire cutters to finish the...
I'm trying to do this exact same install right now. I haven't taken off the caliper or axle nut (since I don't have a 35 MM socket). I did, however, loosen the sway bar as much as I could without dropping it.
As a result, I am having a heck of a time getting enough force to pop the old...
Thanks so much!
I've seen a number of threads on this fascia, but trying to put together all the detail. Sounds like there's no way to avoid running wiring with the Lightforce solution. I'm putting on 4 Bajas Designs Squadron Sport lights on the lower bumper.
I'm thinking I should be running...
This is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I'm about to do similar but more simplified wiring using the same lightforce fascia but only one switch (so far). Did you run those six yellow wires from cab to relay?
I'm trying to figure out what I need to buy to make this...
