HID's are in the works; however I may get my foglights first. I'm I little undecided on which ones first though. Opinions one that anyone?
To be honest the fact it has a great warranty along with the fact that I've never had to warranty one at work was the reason I went with it!
It's been great so far!

Note: Hopefully I can install some of this stuff during lunch (or at least after work, pics will follow!)

if you just got bulbs, i would keep running them until they went out. pretty pointless to install them and then switch to HIDs. they are great but from a monetary standpoint it isnt the smartest choice.

i would get heads first then foglights. just ask yourself: which ones are on more often???

i agree. well i already have the headlight assembly and the light bulbs. Just so I understand what your saying, your suggesting to get the fogs and then the HID's? (you said since I already have them, run them until they go out, right?)
Also, question for Raptor. Do you have HID's in your truck?
Since I haven't done it I don't know if the 10th and 11th Gen are different as far as wiring goes, but regardless i want to learn how to do both so I can do mine as well as my dad's truck.
Thanks for the help and the thoughts!

Very nice! Your truck is coming along nicely! Are you planning for custom wheels in the future?

Yeah, eventually.
I want to lower her first though.
even though these are OEM wheels, she came with the matte Grey XL wheels, so these are at least better than that.
(the best $100 I spent on my girl so far!)

The problem is I want a clean looking road wheel. I'm not into the whole "luxury wheel" thing, and an off-road style wouldn't make any since on my theme. There is an American Racing wheel that I like ok... It's a deep dish 6-spoke, they come in Chrome, Brushed and Black. Even better than that I like the O-Z Racing "Canyon" Wheel. It's a 22' Wheel, Silver Painted 5 spoke. Very Euro looking.
But I don't have my heart set on anything, so I'm open to ideas if anyone has any!

Info on the OZ's :

Not bad. That wheel is not quiet my taste, but could look good on the truck. Either way, nice work so far

I think with your truck, a set of 20's - 22's maybe in chrome would look nice. Those 20" Black machined NASCAR Bristols on tirerack would look very nice on your truck. They are on clearance too, 150 a peice in 20"s

I looked at those, as well as the Nascar Haulers (which I really like).
I've been looking around, and couldn't find any pictures...
I tried to photoshop and couldn't get it right.
Thanks!
