Great job, excellent write up Tylus. I may have to break down and do some of those on my truck.

Not for me but they look like they were professionally installed. Nice job and write up.

I know, I know...that's next on the list. I might take the plunge this weekend with 1 light. That way if I screw up, it's only 1 light to buy.

I even have 1 head with a rock scrape on it...hmm...

That was the goal. I want this to look completely OEM and operate OEM. The lights turn on/off with the parking lights (since on same circuit).

They even flash like the heads/tails/parking lights do when you lock/unlock the truck.


The truck just looks meaner IMO. Especially at night. These lights are pretty bright. Videos and pictures just don't do them justice. I really think this is my favorite mod. That or the 2.5" autospring anyways.



edit: just realized I gotta fix my signature

Great write up. I just did mine too but wired to the White/Red which only comes on with switch.

I like the idea that yours come on with the remote, might have to get back in.

And I really like the Recons, might have to switch out my $20 el'cheapos

Later

I like them a lot. I have toyed with the idea for a while and I drill holes in my trucks all the time but the roof is just one place that I shy away from.

You may have convinced me though.

Looks really good!! I have installed a set on my buddys 04 Dodge 2500. He was so nervous that he couldn't hold the drill steady so I drilled them for him.

If you get a chance i want to see what these look like off at a distance. Maybe 50 yards or something. Like others have mentioned, you may have created the latest "I HAVE TO HAVE THOSE!!" mod on F150online. Nice Job.

Great job. I don't think I could ever bring myself to drill into my paint.

If you do the dark headlights, it will really pull it all together.

definately not on my "must have mod list" props for the write up tho. I see at one time you also those window vent visor things... Get some rubbing alcohol and clean that chit off It would drive me crazy!
