Damn, you beat me to it. I have the same year and same color and I was going to do the same thing to my lights. The spare set of headlights I bought should be here tommorrow or tuesday. Did you use the dark blue pearl (paint code DX) or some of the shelf rattle can stuff? I plan on using some leftover DBP paint from when my flares and mirror caps were painted.
I used the rattle can...Krylon plastic paint, luckily they had a real dark blue. I must've done at least seven or eight light coats. I wasn't too sure about the finished color until I set one in place, then it all came together. Can't wait till my 2" AS get here

I just did my tails today with some black krylon fusion, they look just like a set of harley tails now. When I get my heads done I'll post a pic of them.
Here is the tail light thread where I got the idea from. https://www.f150online.com/forums/ar...4-08-f150.html

I found that 225 degrees for 12 minutes works better than 200 for 10 on the tails, they come apart easier.

Thanks for the tip....the worst part about the heads mod was getting them damn things seperated.
