Looked for the pics of your "look-Good & Go fast mods".... yet no linky....
Seems you bought a pick-up to "go fast".... Some might consider that more silly than clearance lights on a pick-up truck similar to what is available on the super-duty's....
I for one like em and want to do the mod. Personally I am not a fan of making a 2wd pickup "fast" Thats what Mustangs are for, But hey thats just me...
btw... I'd love to see a pic of your "truck"
"MY04 F-150 4X2 SS R/C XLT 4.6L 2v
Born on Date: 02-14-2004 (USA)
Some look-good & go-fast modifications ..."

Maybe if you have them on and you try to go through a drive through thats too low you will know its too low when you knock them off???
I think the law about them having to be on trucks towing wide loads makes more sense as to why big trucks have them. Not that the law makes sense, but the fact that the law exists explains why they put them on dulleys from the factory.

AS you SLOWLY aproach a clearence the lights right before you hit the overhang will cast a dim but definate shine on it indicating you better get out and look.....
Your Antenna on your f-150 kinda does the same thing I found out... lol

Dumb question... 
Do the 2004 f150's have a single or dual sheet metal roof? (What I am getting after is, when these lights get installed do you drill through both sections or is there a gap between the first and second roof (Like my 1977 Dodge).
Dumb question, flame away.

To me, they give you a MUCH better idea of the size of vehicle that is coming towards you. Also, if I were on a narrow road I'd watch for a big azz box or trailer behind said vehicle. The above pic shows what I mean....

Plus I think on alot of trucks they looks cool, and that is purpose enough alone!
