23+ Front LED Emblem

I just figured I would post this as I could not find the answer anywhere or many talking about it other than the F150 group. The Ford LED emblem is made by Putco and if you see on the Putco website the emblems they sell have a cool start up sequence and they are nice and bright. If you purchase the OEM Ford LED front emblem from directly from Ford (so you can use your Ford points) you get the same Putco emblem EXCEPT Ford did not want that cool start up sequence for some reason so Putco was told to only supply units without the start up sequence and the emblem is not as bright (This is pretty misleading for most people). Also the unit from Ford has zero instructions (Very frustrating for people that don't know what's going on). The OEM Ford unit is nice because it comes with the play and play adapter to plug into the headlight but unfortunately no instructions which creates a problem. The Plug and Play harness needs to plug into the drivers side headlight to work correctly. If you want to use the passenger side headlight which is 100% easier the black wire front the PNP harness is powered for some reason, to get it to work you will have to disconnect the black wire from the LED emblem and connect it to chassis ground and just leave the black wire from the PNP harness disconnected. Now for the start up sequence, if you want it to work before you put the emblem in you will notice 3 wires black, red and a green. That green wire is disconnected in the split loom if you purchased the one from Ford. Splice back the black wire and tap the green wire to the black wire (ground) and boom it works. I call Putco and the person I got on the phone told me there was no way to make it work but It works.
