I had a kit from the same company on my old '98 Expedition. It was super-easy to install, but DO NOT use the plastic clips that come with the kit! After about a year they'll get brittle and break. Mount them with some thing metal (galvanized or painted to avoid rust). I dragged the rear light bar from Georgia to mid-Florida once because of that! I couldn't hear it dragging inside the truck. The best part was it got dark half way through and I thought "Oh, I'm gonna be so cool and run down the highway with my underbody lights on!". Totally unaware that I was dragging a lit up, worn in half, led light strip behind me! Yes, it still lit up even though it was worn in half! Anyway, not a lot of people get into it on the truck scene, but I love custom lighting on any vehicle. I have the 3 million USB truck kit for my 150, but I just got it, it's not installed yet. Oh yeah, depending on what kind of cab you have, you may want to order additional light bars. That was the one thing I didn't like about the kit on my Expo. It really wasn't built for a full-size truck. OK, I'm done writing this long-*** post! Enjoy the lights!

I think to each his own is how it goes. I personally wouldn't mind a few super white strips for some exterior courtesy lighting.

I wanted to do the white kit and then buy two extra 48" tubes and some wheel well strips. I have tossed around the idea.

I think they look great on lowered, street trucks. But just wrong on standard height, or lifted trucks.

Of course my truck is brown, and blacked out so obviously, I could not care less what the next guy thinks LOL

Peace,
Fish
