Headlight SWAP........Roush Lip (Square or Round Fogs, Which is better?)
Hi guy's, I am about to take my truck for repairs/Mods, I wanted to as for some opinion/advise:
1) 03-04 Navigator Heads: I researched and saw that a few pple were also inquiring about swapping Navigator Headlights into F150's, but most of them were trying to convert the whole front end, I wanna keep my 04 F150 front but swap the head lights for the Smoked Navigator lights, do they bolt on without mods?
2) If Navi Heads bolt right up..... I don't know much about wiring but I think should be able to split the wires going to the FOG's to turn the High beam side of the Navi on right? I don't know if there is a way I can split the High and Low bean from the stock wiring since they come to one bulb.
3) I am going to get a roush Lip, I have an 04 with the square Fogs, I've heard some pple say the squares are better looking, I kind of like the round ones more, but since I already have the sqaures, well, it doesn't hurt tosave $120, but what do you guys think?

stick with the squares with the Roush lip. Follows the natural body lines of the truck better and they are more functional for light output.
If it were a mustang I would say round...but I'm a bit biased

x2.. Those 'revised' Mark LT headlamps are HIDEOUS.
And yes the heads will not fit due to the fenders. They have more curve to them than F150s.

Wow, THANKS FOR THAT!!! I was about to put an order for the smoked Navigator heads.......I'll just stick with the Harley smoked ones.
I have to agree with Sooner, if I was going for pimped out w/ 26's and chrome then maybe, I prefer the sporty look..........even if I have a bulky Screw (needed the extra seating).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw an old post that said that the Roush Chin lip from an 06/08 F150 WON'T fit on an 04/05, something about the tow attachments placed diff.........That really sucks cause I found a seller on ebay letting them go for $225, but he only has the 06/08 edition.
Yeah, the squares look good also........Anyway, that sucks, the 04 Rousch Lip is $389, the 06 is $225.......... Anyone got the hook up on a Roush chin?
Sorry, imo the Mark LT stuff is fugly.

Speaking as one who's owned a 2005 with the rectangular fogs and now a 2010 with the round ones, the rounds ones suck - no matter what bulbs you put in them. Slap a set of 9005 Silverstar Ultras in the rectangular fogs and trust me, you'll love it.
