I have a video of it but this web site won’t allow me to attach it

Wow! That looks very cool!

I ended up getting this kit from Harbor Freight:

Harbor Freight trim removal kit

I saw another video (think Simon maybe?) where they used something like this. The star nuts came off in seconds. For 20 bucks it was a no-brainer to have in the shop. Sure it'll come in handy again some day.

Oh wow! They have brick and mortar stores as well, and one is only 8 miles away! I know where I’m going on Friday ?

Hi,
Has anyone received the new front pony harness from BSKT that's supposed to fix the side marker light issue? Last I heard, they sent out a test harness to someone here first.

No one has received the new connector/harness yet because they are being shipped to me and I will be shipping them out. While I was out of town (Europe) Bruce had them manufactured then sent a couple to Mach-E owners here in the US to test out. He said they tested out good and will be shipping them out to me. I will post here when I receive them.

Great! Thanks Mark.

Has anyone figured out a way to shield the rear camera from the rear pony backup light? I saw the post with the decal over the bottom but that doesn't seem to work on mine. I have half the lens covered and the light still really messes with the camera in the early morning. I like the pony lighting up white, but it wipes out my backup view.

Nope. I disconnected backup light. ??‍

Here’s my post. You need to use black tape to block as much light as possible. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/bskt-design-updates.44851/post-952952

If the camera lens is dirty or scratched, it will pick up more light and wash out the image. If it still bothers you, then just pull the reverse light connection and let it stay red all of the time.

Thanks. I read that thread and tried the tape already. I have tape so high on the lens it blocks the bottom few inches on the screen inside. It's still picks up so much of the light it washes out the view. Guess I'll have to disconnect the green wire.

Good news, Bruce has shipped both the front and rear updated connectors. He had the front connectors ready to ship a couple of weeks ago but I told him to hold off until he had the rears ready too. There are many here that bought both front and rear and I didn't want to be shipping out twice to all those customers. I'm looking to get them within the next two weeks if everything goes ok with customs.

Thank you, Mark!

Just had the rest of this from EE-Vida ?

Speaking of BSKT Design, does anyone know what ever happened to the non-GT grill with led pony? I put down a deposit for the opportunity to purchase one (only $10, but it guaranteed their best pricing - about $200 off their current advertised pricing) in January. I've emailed BSKT for status information and received no response. I know there was a manufacturing disruption due to natural disaster, and the BSKT website has has production photos, but no word to those of us who put down a deposit. Has anyone here have additional information? Thanks!

First off, sorry...I'm an engineer who can't leave good enough alone.

I like the BSKT rear pony turning white when in reverse, but it completely wipes out my rear camera view at night. I've tried taping over part of the camera as suggested in another thread, but no luck. So I wired in a relay to inhibit the pony backup light when the taillights are on.

Cheap relay from Amazon:

Triggered by the red wire on the pony harness, the pony white wire is NC and opens when the relay is powered. Pretty simple and works great!

Relay white tapped into pony red
Relay black tapped into pony black
Cut the pony white wire
Relay blue to white wire to car reverse light
Relay yellow to white wire to pony
Cap the relay red wire and tuck everything up behind the plastic cover.
