    For those of you electrically inclined around here; I installed the "Raptor" lights from YotaLeds this weekend but in doing so realized that it will make it a little bit of a p.i.a. to remove the grille.

    I have the front camera and it has a simple "male/female" connector that is simple to unplug so you can leave the camera and some wiring attached to the grille when removing for whatever mod/repair necessitated grille removal. Although not complicated to remove the leads that go to the battery positive and negative and the ground, wondering if it's feasible to "add" a quick disconnect.

    Geno to the rescue! Thank you, I will give it a try. What's the worst that can happen? Be worth it to keep grille removal as easy as it is I think.

    They will work. I used them on my raptor lights, and I’ve taken the grille off more times than I can remember.
