New Lights.

Definitely on the short list of mods is a yellowtop battery and possibly a larger alt. but for now they work with no problems.

That was snared during a group purchase here at f150online. Unfortunately, that purchase has since closed...

--->Here's the thread<---

The seller is ranchitout on ebay... also, his email is in the thread at the end...might check with him.

Looks good. Did you go with a spot light beam or driving?

Can we get more pics of the light bar, as many as possible.

Went with the KC 150watt for now. May replace the front two with floods later. Underestimated how bright these were but it's alright. Had to do a lot of cutting to the wiring harness for the roof lights and some for the front lights. Had to lengthen nearly all of them. It's a long way from the battery area to the roof and center console. I was suprised that they came with a heavy duty 40 amp relay instead of a 30 amp or smaller typical one. Plus the fact that they are also covered under the 23 year waranty just like the bulbs.

Where did you get that wrap around your shift ****?
Shifter came from a group buy here on f150online. well over a year ago. Don't have a clue who sold it to me.

how does that top light bar mount?
Lightbar has a bracket on each side. It's like a small gutter. Four sheetmetal screws per bracket that screw into the edge just under the weather stripping. Small amount of rub between the door and the finished bracket but livable.

Here's all the others that I have of the finished bar.

Might also add that the mount is stainless steel. Which looked like $^&% on my truck. So it came back off to be painted flat black. Just rattle caned it with primer & flat black.

Was a definite pucker factor putting 8 holes in the body of my truck.

stoked! Will be duck out of water anyway though. Don't even know where to take the truck once I get there. I guess they'll tell me at the door Friday. Spent the better part of the last two days detailing and cleaning up the light wires.
