In that picture I think the round fog lights look great. They really match the headlights and the parking lights. I think I just like them because the camera flash is reflecting in them.
I'm not that big a fan of them in the daylight.

where did you get the porterfield pads? My rotors are already warped from the 100,000 mile stock ones... So, when i take it in to get them replaced i want to replace the pads with diffrent ones.

BREW, I am sure that you have seen several of the threads about replacing trucks. I didn't use the BBB. After all the problems I had, my service adviser told me to continue calling Ford's 1-800 number to request a "requisition form." After several calls to ford requesting this form, the regional rep offered me a replacement vehicle instead of doing a buy back. He told me that the DSB had been replaced by the DRP.

Steve, I don't think ford changed the brake pads for 06, so with the new chrome wheels, I just decided to spring for Porterfield pads to help keep the chrome clean. Also, the light switch is just a little bit smaller. It was about 1 1/4" in diameter in my 04, and the new one is about 3/4" in diameter.

Stephen, I bought my porterfields from this guy on eBay. Even if he doesn't have a auction for F 150 pads, call him. He has a contract for direct shipment from the factory and offers a discount if you buy front and rear pads together. I think I paid $163 for both, delivered.

What was wrong with your '04...other than the fact that it wasn't yellow?
