If you want to be the guinea pig, I still have my old fender badges. Will give em to you if you do the install. Plus shipping of course. lol

Interesting offer Dave... Thanks. I might take you up on it... I have an extra set of the 2013 badges that say "SHO".... But I can't figure out how I would cut it out and preserve letters yet... The 2010-2012 badges are obvious though.... ?maybe go stealth with no letters?  I have a bud that does a lot of custom LED work for Vettes and Audis... I met him through my neighbor and his work is stellar. He has offered to do work for me... Let me talk to him and show him the extra badge before we do anything... On further search exLED now has a USA outlet too, but they list it out of stock and are saying they could get it in a month... Still rather do it with someone I know. So keep me in mind on your offer. Thanks again.

BTW... What is the removal procedure for the fender badge... Since you have done it?

Its super easy. Best way is with plastic putty knife or even regular plastic knife. You just pop in something to unclick the tabs that hold it in. There was a "How-To" on here but I can't find it now. Hopefully this picture helps. Maybe one of you with a better working relationship with Dan at Drivebright can persuade into coming up with something.

If your friend can do it I would be interested. There is a company that does does lighted "F-150" badges. I called a while back to see if they would do one for the Taurus. They had said if they got enough interest then they would pursuit it

Thanks for the pic.... Helps for sure.
Those truck badges are sweet! Definitely will let you know on my progress. Wonder if Autogarge would do one for the SHO?

i just bought some of these and had a question, is it easy to wire up and have it using the switchback vs just a running light?  is it just another wire you need to run to the turn signals or just in the programming or what?

Just ordered a set of these for my '14 SHO, looks like a nice product.   What I'm not sure of though, what are the different powering options? I've read some of the wiring is optional?
