Looks awesome, did you paint your grill or replace it. That looks good as well.

Those look pretty tough guys. Nice job!

A question for the new folks with the lights...

How does the performance look? In short, compare them to stock with light availability and throwing. Pretty good?

Scrool back a to the middle, there was a picture provided of the beam pattern and it wasnt so bad. Im pretty particular with beam patterns, but its not to far off from the factory pattern.

I may not have a pic to compare the lights as earlier in the thread, but my lights are working very well. At first I almost thought they were better than the factory ones, but it was just me. They are basically identical in lighting performance to the stock headlights. I think with the black in the surrounding parts of the headlight may allow the light to focus more and not reflect off of all the chrome. I am very happy with ther performance of these new headlights, once I adjusted them correctly that is. I do not regret this purchase ONE BIT! I recommend these lights to everyone! Especially RockPick, I think they would compliment the King Ranch very well!

Put mine end today, removed the factory headlights and plugged them in to the new boxes. Looks good, no difference in lighting.

FCSD, Ford Customer Service Division.
They are shown in the 2005 model brochure.
In other words the Ford parts counter.
I don't have a picture of the released center cap yet.
I have the cap, I just don't have a picture yet, maybe tomorrow.
As for price, if I remember correctly they're about $200.00 each.
I'm getting older now, my memory’s not what it used to be.
I'll post another picture tomorrow.

FINALLY my headlights arrived today. It only took me 15 minutes to install them. I love the way they look on my black truck, especially now that I put the black overlay on the Ford logo.

Now im just waiting for my rims and taillights to arrive.
