HELP with Brush Guard and Lights

I dont browse this area so Im not familiar with brush guards and what nots.....I need you guys help please.......I have an 05 KR F150 Black / Gold in color , 20" rims, Tan running boards......everything is stock except my audio system.....I am looking for a brush guard that is cool looking and has light tabs....I am also looking for at least a 4 light system to mount on the brush guard. I also want some good backup lights to mount under the rear bumper or custom mount in the rear bumper......can you guys please give me some ideas, links, pictures, etc of some good setups ??? I certainly appreciate any help you give me :-)

Thanks,

Otis Da Whino

do a search for "backup lights" or "reverse lights."

as for a brushguard with lights, you can mount lights on any brushguard you buy. bull bars can handle 4 lights but it will be a very tight squeeze and you will likely have to drill new holes. A full frontal brushguard would likely work better for four lights, but also gonna be a tight squeeze.

CHECK OUT http://ranchhand.com , they have a heavy duty grille guard that looks great. I have seen many trucks your color combo with their guard. it doesnt have light tabs, but you could easily put custom tabs on your guard.

Thanks-it does look nice. Serves great front end protecton in collisions as well-yes I know from experiance with my ranger (guy backed out in front of me in parking lot-my truck won the battle with only mere scratch and I won the lawsuit-dumb guy thought I should pay the $1400 bill for his car )

yea they do. except the manik is alot more flush to the body of the truck. it has a little latch that allows it to swing forward so you can let the hood up. it sounds complicated but i love it. those hellas look bad *** on your rig. they really light up the road

Thats cool it sits tighter-how many times your forget to tilt the guard forwad?
My guard becomes a nice step stool or knee rest when working under the hood of mine. and Yes the hellas really light up the road-although 2 of them are only fogs so they arent so bright
