upper grille
Always disconnect battery before servicing any fuses or electrical system.
The 40” E-Series mounts behind the existing main grille. Open the hood and
notice the two black bumpers on both sides of the grille opening towards the bottom.
Behind those bumpers are two Torx head screws, remove the screws and the nut
clips that the bolts are threaded into. You will use these existing holes to bolt the
L-brackets that are included with your light bar.
Step 1
Install the L-brackets onto the light bar using the supplied Delrin bushing
and ¼“ x 20 nylon lock nut. Then install the the supplied bolts into the L-bracket
on either side of the grille opening to attach the light bar to your truck.
Tighten all hardware.
Step 2

Your Raptor is equipped with four factory “Uptter” auxiliary switches. These need
to be connected to the OEM output wires. There are two locations that need to be
addressed; inside the glove box and inside the engine compartment under the hood.
Wiring Instructions - Auxiliary switches
Open the glove box normally and empty out. On the rear right and left sides there
are tabs holding the box in place. Place your hands inside of the glove box, reach to
the back left and back right, pull in the sides where there is a tab holding it in place.
The box should swing downward and towards the oor of the truck.
On the side of the dash area, there is an access panel, pull towards you to remove it
and expose the wiring under the dashboard. After removing the access panel you
will need to locate two bundles of 4 wires each. These wires are what you will need
to mate to gain switch control to your lights.
step 3

Glove box tab released. Wiring bundles after access panel is removed.
step 4
In order to get the switch outputs connected to the pass through wiring that
terminates under the hood for Step 7, you need to make the connections below
and behind the glove box.
There are 2 wires that are exiting from the wiring harness provided with your
light bar; red and black. The red a wire will be mated with a preinstalled OEM
wire from Ford® by following the wiring diagram and colors below based upon
which auxiliary switch you would like to use. The black wire is the ground.

The wires passing through the rewall are prewired from Ford®. The Ford auxiliary switches are prewired from Ford. You will need to mate the prewired auxiliary switch wires to the wires Ford installed that go through the re wall.

Locate the Power Distribution Box (page 365 in your owners manual).
Open the box and notice the fuses are numbered and switch fuses are as follows:
(page 326-329 in owner’s manual):
step 6
1 18 30amp
2 19 30amp
3 44 15amp
4 28 10amp
Switch# Location Stock fuse
Use butt connectors or solder to mate wiring.
Each of the factory auxiliary switches are rated for dierent amperage. This allows
you to choose which switch you want to power each lighting option you may install.
We highly recommend changing the factory fuse out to the proper fuse size rated
for your lights. This will protect your lights from any potential damage from
being over fused.
Note: You are limited to the factory amperage rating for each switch. So, if your
lighting requires more amperage for operation than your auxiliary switch is rated for,
you cannot use that switch location. Amperage ratings for the OEM switch outputs
and a list of required amperage for Rigid Industries Lighting is available in the table
on the following page.
step 5

Congratulations!
your Rigid Industries LED lights
are now installed!
Engine compartment wiring connected to light harness.
On the passenger side of the truck, locate the under hood OEM wiring above
the wheel well. There will be four colors; red, green, violet, and blue, with heat
shrink around the ends. Refer to your owner’s manual if you need help locating
these wires. These are the switch outputs that we connected under the dash
in Step 4. Connect the power wire from the wiring harness provided in your kit
to the switch output desired. Route the other end (male weather pack connector)
down behind the headlight bucket and over to the grill area to your light bar.
The black ground wire can be grounded to passenger side inner fender by using a
factory bolt location or by using a self-drilling tek screw.
Standard grounding principles apply.
