Best Grille Lights?

[Voyna]

Hello! I’m looking to purchase grille lights as picture below for my ‘24 BD, but I was wondering what brand has the best/ most reliable lights for these?

IAG is pictured but I’m not sure how reliable they are, if they are please let me know and I will purchase them!

If you know any better ones let me know, thank you.

Honestly a lot/most of the grill lights for the black diamond are being sold under different names even though they're the same product/from the same manufacturer. Take a look at the connectors and components and stuff and you'll see that they're the same.

I'd just pick the one that has the best price, shipping, company, etc

Came to realize that. I ordered from mabett as there was an Amazon coupon for them. I’ve seen some people satisfied with them on this forum as well. As a side question, if you or anyone else knows, will wiring directly into the engine bay fuse box damage the wire that will power these lights? I know it’s not held on very tight but I don’t want anything getting messed up.

I had a similar concern regarding the fuse box. I opted instead for a plug-and-play harness for the headlights, so when the headlights are on low beam (Not DRL) the grill lights will turn on. Thats ideal for my application as i didnt want the grill lights on all the time.

Did you get the mabetts as well? If so how have they held up and how are they quality wise because they just arrived and I don’t want to waste time installing them if they aren’t great.

Ive been through the high pressure car wash numerous times and everything seems fine.

IMO the black diamond have the ugliest grill lights out of all the grill trim. The lights are way to large. If a company can make it small as the badland and make it look OEM flush, I'll be all over it. Probably asking for too much but that's why I haven't pull the trigger on my black diamond grill lights yet. Probably replace my grill in the long run.

Just my opinion

I’m installing right now and the engine bay fuse box connector is way too big for it to close properly. How did you wire yours? Did you just crimp them together? I have it grounded but my wire to get power is jsut kind of hanging there and I was thinking of just crimping it to the front aux connector, do you think that would be fine?

I didnt hit the fuse box at all, i used a plug-and-play harness which piggy backed off the headlights. I fused that and had some automotive waterproof connectors that i soldered and sealed so they can be quickly disconnected as well.
There is a Mabett replacement fuse cover case to allow wiring in and out of the fusebox without pinching and while maintaining weatherproofing but since i didnt use the fusebox connection, i dont know if it will do what you need :

On the side of the fuse box just up from where the wire is plugged into the fuse box is a factory notch/slit on the side. Tuck your wire into the notch and the lid will close as intended. Just fyi I have the IAG grille lights.

My issue is the actual fuse part of the connector won’t allow the lid to close properly, the wire hang is no issue to me. I tried wiring it to the purple aux wire at the grille but nothing happens when I flip it, am I supposed to wire something else to the aux wire?

I went with the LED lettering and everyone loves them. Definitely unique to other Broncos in town. Great comments. Wired to switch #6 on Ford supplied harness

I went with these Mabetts (link to my review below). I have had them about 5 months now and they have been through several severe storms, a few stream crossings and a blast across the Nevada heat. Held up well so far!

Those are the ones I just installed! I got them wired to aux 3 since I didn’t want them directly in the fuse box poking out everywhere. Great to hear they have held up in weather as I live in Florida and we get hurricane weather and 100 degree heat of course.
