Lighted Grill Letters Issue

Letters Lights Emblem Compatible for Bronco Accessories 2021 2022 2023 (White), Front Grille LED Bronco Emblem BLUECHARM https://a.co/d/cM7NNDW

I installed this last night and it looks great. The only issue I have is that it uses a fuse tap in the fuse box and the lid can’t shut. I believe the fuse it uses is the DRL? I’d like to tap into it another way if possible. I may just use an Aux switch for now since I still have two left.

One of my tricks to remove the old letters was a countersink bit.

I’ll post a closeup of the fuse box shortly but you may be able to see it in the one pic of the instructions.

I think I have the same kit (or from the same factory). I ran mine to my last aux switch and just leave it on all the time. Sometimes I flash it at other broncos for kicks but honestly you can forget its there if wanted.

I wasn't into the lid thing either, you could probably get a grommet and drill a little bit out so it can close tight but that seemed like too much work for little return to me.

Probably my favorite mod on my bronco honestly. Stupid that it didn't come this way, makes it look way more upscale in front. They have plenty of their own stuff to flaunt but I notice a higher number of jealous wrangler owner looks now...

For now I ran it to an open aux. Although the fuse box isn’t sealed I don’t like the wire sticking out.

In another thread I’m hoping maybe to tie it to the DRL.

Also while it’s a silly mod I know what you’re saying. Might be my fav too. I think the Hummer EVs light up.

I have a basesquatch and really loved the blacked out letters on the grill at first. Wasn't until I put the white ones on that I realized how much it was missing something up front. The lighting adds just that little bit more presence or something, it's really nice.

I believe I put that same kit on my wife’s OBX. I used a saw blade and cut a notch about 1/2 inch deep on the lid of the fuse box. Closes nice and seems real tight.

Real tight except for the notch. Also I think that fuse is for the fuel injection. I'm not willing to risk a failure on that circuit even if it's fused.

I was hesitant on these untill 2 days ago I saw another Bronco with them. I just ordered mine. I plan to tap into the DRL that way its always on when Im driving.

They are dead sexy. Do you know where in the DRL circuit you plan on tapping?

@flip I've seen a couple attempts to document the fuse panel but is there a definitive source for all possible fuse locations (I assume the vary by options)?

I have the same kit and was planning on installing it this weekend. I hadn't decided to tap the DRL circuit or use an inline fuse and the AUX 6 switch. I have the Braptor lights I was going to install too.

God doesn't even respond to my prayers that quickly.

with the Oracle letters, which are slightly different. It is impossible to see them as lit during the day. For that reason I ran them to my Aux 6 and only turn them on at night (when I remember to). Wouldn’t running them to a DRL line cause them to turn off when your headlights are on at night?

Havent even began to look. Hell in 9mo and 14k miles I think Ive only popped my hood twice.
