Curious how your wiring goes Brent. Are you painting to ensure no fading or prefer gloss look?
The problem with non-local OEM grills is that shipping runs the average person nearly $200 due to package length.
Looks killer trizzot, I like how you placed the letters. Did everything fall right into place like that or did you have to do some tab trimming? I sure would feel better having an extra set of letters on the shelf.

It was real easy. I had free shipping, bought off eBay. USA model grill, 479$. The letters went on in 10 minutes. I set them in place, they have little tabs to keep them straight. Then I taped them down, flipped the grille over and put the screws in. As for the wiring, I didn’t remove anything but the very first intake piece on the passenger side. It simply pops off. It’s the scoop piece in front of the battery. I then unplugged the center light plug for the amber light, and wire tapped the red lead to the blue wire, and ran the black to a ground. Took all of 30 minutes from start to finish for everything. Lights work with the normal running lights.

Mine didn't have one, but considered adding one recently. Need to see if I have the correct harness or not and if compatible with SYNC w/ 4" screen.
I did wire up my lights last week and took some pics, I'll try to post them this evening. No drama, just tapped into the side marker since I didn't think there is much of any current draw from the LEDs and it was more accessible.

Exact same question I have had.
I order one of these and am embarking on how to fabricate a way to use the front camera.
If I come up with something to be proud of, I will be sure to share the pictures on this thread.

I would imagine that if the front camera can't come out of the front Ford emblem and be used on this grill then the option for trucks with the front camera that want this grill will go away. We look forward to your progress and good luck sir!
