well this is your gallery link
https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=9504

and if you go into your profile and type in the 4 digit code (on yours its 9504) into the photogallery number, you get the little camera icon next to your truck description in the top right corner of every post.

then find the URL for each image, and copy it into the attach image icon (the little mountain post card looking icon)






And thats some cool monting idea, but i dont know how well it will work on my lowered truck... Ill take a look there tho!

It's great for blasting those guys who ride my tail despite my 6" lift. They're aimed to blind anyone within about 50 yards of my tailpipes. It's great. Oh yeah, one other thing. Might consider some silicone around the light mount areas as water from driving (or trailering my boat at night, the original thought) will get in and blow the fuses rather quickly. I used to have a picture of the Ranger boat with my truck on the ramp. It really lit up the trailer nicely so I had no problems trailering it at night all by myself.

I did the same backup light mod, originally with the wal-mart 'burner' lights. I changed them out later for ones with a better light pattern, but I agree you can't beat the $15 price. If you want a nifty circuit that lets you turn them on with the ignition off, and prevents them from being on unless in reverse with the ignition on, click my signature photo and navigate to the back-up lights mod page and detailed description.
