Thanks for all the kind comments!

I think they look pretty good ... I'm trying to decide if I'll keep the orange corner bulbs or get chrome ones (I kind of like the color the orange bulbs give the corner).

I cheated on the before shot as it was taken when I first got my truck in '06. I'd forgotten some of the changes I'd made!

Patman, my truck is a XL 4X4 ... I'm not sure I've seen a XL 4X4 with foglights.

4wd150, I got the lights on ebay. They're not the cheapest available, but they seem pretty well made and they installed with no problems.

bohnman, I did a short write-up on installing foglights behind the grill on a '99-'03 ... https://www.f150online.com/forums/19...ind-grill.html

What kind of rims are those? They look sharp. The truck is coming together real nice now, congrats.

Rims are stock 16" Expy rims ... I painted the edges of the openings and the inside of the rims black to change the look of them a little.

I think you should move the the lights behind the grille up a little to be leveled with the lightning lights, the corners look okay, but I think I'm with tarajerame... maybe some orange/amber corner lamps would of looked better

My goal in installing the grill lights was to have them slightly above center (vertically) in the grill. I must of screwed up my measurements as they ended up slightly lower than centered (something that wasn't obvious until I installed the grill at the end of the project). I'll move them up someday when I get a little extra time.

If I remember correctly, tarajerame was the guy who suggested using the stock corner lights w/ the lightning heads in a previous thread ... I'll have to try that out and see how it looks.
