I don’t know why people do the completely blacked out Ford ovals. Looks really tacky and cheap. To each his own, I guess.
Black with white lettering would looks so much better. Even the ones with colored lettering look awful.
Wired my dashcam today. I know people opt for the Moonroof wires for a 12V switched source, but I found fiddling around near the roof a pain and decided to tap the wires on the driver side A-pillar harness connector that's right behind the cover. I've included a picture if someone else is looking for either a 12V switched or a 12V always hot (like the cigarette plugs), on the 2012 these are the ones I found. There's more than one 12V always hot in that harness, but I only saw 1 that was 12V switched.
For the ground I just used the bolt behind the cover by the door, as there's already a factory ground wire there, and in my case, a few others
For USB harness I used this, which comes with really long wires for the USB part, and plenty long for the rest. Works great.
Not sure if you've seen this post; Thinkware F750 front & rear dashcam hardwire install (Ford Explorer 2011-2017)This may be a deal maker for me. I don't have a sunroof on my '13 XLT but want to install a cam close to the mirror. I didn't want to try to route the power cord all around the windshield to a power source behind / below the dash. Your tutorial has renewed my interest in doing this. Thanks.
Your warranty should take care of that.Out for 3 Days and my ride needs a new battery. The original one lasted a year and 10 months. That’s almost too soon isn’t it?

Rainlord- Did you buy your DRLs from Dan at DriveBright(DaytimeBrightlites)?Installed new 3-light type fog lights that do DRL (ring), fog (yellow half), daylight (other half in white). Safe to say, I'm done with the front lights :-D (I can control all of them from a switch panel, including logo).
