The lights look great!!

Did you put the brush guard on yourself, or did you pay to have it done? And how much did it run?

I install almost everything myself. The grille/brush guard is the new Genuine Steel Products Safari guard. I bought it from www.carparts.com Part# 80212 for $209.99 Use coupon code # 1963005 for 33% off the $309.99 price. Only one thing, on the 4x4 models, you have to lose the tow hooks. I am working on a 3" spacer to remount them though. No other modification was needed to mount it. Had it on in about 45 minutes. I have complete step-by-step on my web site. www.bmgsite.com

Go to the F-150 page, then go to page 3.
You'll find it there.

Good luck & thanks for the compliment.

Looks good, Just think what it would look like with three more sets!!!! I think carparts.com has the covers fairly cheap. But check out the KC webpage also. While you there checkout their picture gallery. Mudder, CCLA, & myself are all on there. Once again it looks great!!!

Cool

They look really good, you made an excellent choice. I have some covers for sale, white letters on black back ground. They are the block KC not the scrip, you can have them if you want. Let me know. I just got some new covers, one of the first shipments of the new covers, they have been on back order for a month and a half, I love them.

I mounted my switch in my overhead console in the rear-most compartment. I'll take a pic and post in a day or so. I forgot to include this detail...oops.

I ran the wires down the driver's side pillar and did not wire into my headlights.

Good luck.

Finally got my pix back...

Here's where I mounted my switches....



Another view since you can't see the LEDs from the glare... sorry it's a little blurry...



The switches control the relays mounted under the hood....



And here's a closer view of the relay/fuse block.



(I'm so glad I finally learned how to post pics! :-) I'm cut off!!)

Question

GIJoeCam,
Where did you get the fuse block? Did you make it, or buy it? How much was it, or would you make me one? Thanks.
