Been busy but got a couple of things done to the truck. Finished taking off the grime on the door, love the moldings being off and fx4 decal. Also finished the tail lights.. I want to buy the tailgate lightbar because my rear lights are rather dark. Rather be safer than sorry. Anyone have sites to recommend to buy it from for a good price? Seen these two, first site has bad reviews.. Also tell me what you think, heres couple of pics

Oh and the black ford is 01screw20





nitto muds baby



the new look of the tail lights

 

Damn you went dark on those tails. Go with the Recon. The $10 more for a name brand is worth it so you don't risk the chance of getting non-working LEDs. Good to hear you got all the grime off

 

Yea, i didn't realize they would be so dark. I was hoping it wouldnt be that dark. I may end up redoing them some day. I want the bar though, so go with the recon from costco? Any other places you recommend?

 

How many coats did you do? And I think costco is the cheapest ive seen

 

4 coats like in the link I posted. Where I was doing it not much light. Thinking I put it onway too thick

hoping to get the valence painted with fender flares and honeycomb my next set of days off but not sure what will happen

 

I only went 3 on that. Definitely paint all of that. Makes it look better in my opinion

 

looks good! can you even see light throught he tails?

 

yea, i can't wait to have it painted. I went with oxford white because they didn't have any of my touch up paint (pastel white) at any of the stores. My door didn't list the paint code, just same letter as pastel, hope it looks about right. I can hardly see it. Not that well, i will take some pictures tonight when its dark to see how it works at night time. Hopefully good but who knows. I should redo them to make it look cleaner, but it took forever. Have other things rather get done first

 

It looks clean but I would think light output would be pretty bad with that dark. I didn't know they made seperate whites. I thought it was always Oxford White for our body style f150s

 

Yea. It's not too bright. At night it's ok. Think led bulbs would help? And maybe I just have some weird touch up paint

 

Ya I'm not sure about the paint. I think leds would help. Light bar for sure tho

 

your truck is oxford white.

 

Yep, - it's Oxford White. That's the only white Ford had on the F150 when I picked my color.

 

Awesome. That's reassuring. I thought it was but the touch up was labeled different. Thanks guys

 

I just blacked out my lights a week or two ago I put on the light bar from jcwhitney it looks good and secures well to the metal, I just added some rtv to the ends to seal them better from moisture. I tried to hard wire it with splices but the factory wire was too thick to tap into so you will probably have to use wire nuts or a buy 4 3-way connectors to hard wire it in. I've seen mixed results for both but i'm a broke *** college grad so I went with the cheaper of the two lol I'll Try to post up pics up if you want later tonight
