Hood-Mounted LED Kit Install – Super Impressed with the F150LEDs Spartan MKII

[Joaquin F]

Just wanted to share my experience installing the F150LEDs Spartan MKII Hood Mounted LED Kit on my Maverick. Hopefully this helps anyone thinking about doing the same — especially if you’ve got the hybrid. This kit works perfectly for both turbo and hybrid models.

The install video they provide is based on the turbo model, but I can confirm the hybrid install is just as easy. I used the red jump terminal under the hood for power and grounded to a nearby bolt — didn’t even have to mess with the battery. Everything powered up without any issues.

Even if you’re not super into wiring or electrical stuff, the kit is very plug-and-play. It’s designed in a really intuitive way that makes the process smooth.

The wiring harness is impressive — thick, well-protected, and clearly made with quality in mind. All the connectors lock in tightly. One of my favorite parts is the ability to wire the amber DRL backlighting to your daytime running lights through the included harness. It gives a clean amber glow that looks great even when the main lights are off.

The wireless controller is a huge bonus — being able to light up your surroundings with one click from wherever you are is perfect for camping, loading gear, or just extra visibility.

There’s no glare off the hood, and the brackets hold everything securely, even on rough roads. The beam angle is dialed in nicely, and the lights really add a sharp look to the front end.

If you’re thinking about hood-mounted lighting, I’d definitely recommend this kit. It’s simple to install, super functional, and looks great in person.

I’ve included a few basic pics here in the thread, but if you want to see more — including under-hood wiring and some video clips — check out the full album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/rSnw34HLQ47nGQax5

Hope this helps someone out! Let me know if you’ve got questions.

I had ditch lights/spot lights installed on my Maverick. Mine are Hilight brand. They are LED bright white & amber. The lights are either stationary or can flash. White can flash, Amber can flash and White & Amber can flash off and on. I really like them, though my wife isn’t really a fan. But what does she know? LOL

Love your rims; where did you get those?

Haha love it — looks like we’re both lighting up the neighborhood!

Quick question though: did those Hilights come with remote control or did you have to hard wire everything in? Also was this a kit for the maverick? Cause I don't see how those are mounted?(Hood clamps?)

Also, respect to your wife for keeping you humble — mine just shakes her head and walks away every time I add something new!

Appreciate it! They’re Forgestar F14C in Satin Bronze. Got them because I wanted something that stood out without being too flashy — super happy with how they look on the truck.

The lights have a wired switch on the dash. The lights set on brackets that are mounted under the hood’s edge. The lights move up and down with the hood. I hope this helps.

Appreciate the reply! That setup sounds super clean — I really like how the brackets move with the hood. And having a dash switch keeps it nice and simple. Thanks for the info!
