Mirror Lights

Hi all,

Tried searching for this and haven’t found anything. Looking to see if there is a way to have the mirror lights come on at any speed?

Thank you.

I did a "cut wire" on my 2017 and they would do that, cannot find the post though. I had pictures and everything.

It can be difficult to find stuff on here sometimes. It's a topic that has been discussed for years and there are a few different options to make that happen. BoostedGreyGoose is the source of possibly the first, and last I checked, least expensive plug n play option. It looks like their site is closed for maintenance currently. You should be able to find some info on DIY self methods with a Google or YouTube search of something like, "Ford spot light at any speed". I went with a Wicked Warnings kit that incorporates a strobe module into it. It gave left, right or both spot light function at any speed and a strobe function off an upfitter switch.

I am interested as well. It’s great to have the additional light when in the woods. It is pretty ridiculous that it turns off at 3MPH. I know that Limitless makes a plug in harness for it but it is spendy at $70.00.

I did the cut wire that shuts off at 5mph and splice to wire that is always hot. Only draw back is they can be left on, but don't draw much power.

Thanks for posting the video. Now that I have had time to watch it my only comment would be about the jumper. I wouldn’t just jam the wire in there to make the connection between the two pins. Over the life of the truck I would worry about it falling out and making random shorts on the circuit board.

I would highly recommend making a permanent connection and solder a jumper between those pins.

JMO,

Bob

I agree and didn't want to take the module apart or do any permanent modifications. By cutting the wire that only has power up to 5 mph and connecting it to the one that is hot all the time, you can now use the mirror lights at any speed. To switch back, just disconnect from constant hot and hook back up to the one that shuts down at speed.
