I would like to install some driving lights without having to put on a brush guard...any ideas? I would like to put on KC type round lights on the front grill/bumper area....thanks in advance for the help...

 

several companies make after market lower valances with holes for lights.

 

You can mount some driving lights behind the grill insert. It might take a little customizing to get them to mount correctly but I have seen others mount them in that location. Also, if you can find some small foglights you can fit them into the stock holes in the bumper. This is where I mounted them on my last truck and where I plan on putting some on my current one when I get some time. The other F150 website (not sure of the name cause I havent been to it in a long time) has detailed instructions on installing the later option.

 

I've got a set of Hella 550 driving lights with 130 watt bulbs mounted on the cross member behind my grill. I've got them wired with a relay) to come on with my high beams. Works great and the install wasn't bad at all. If you want pictures, drop me an e-mail.

 

I have driving lights behind the grill, and a set in the bumper on both sides of the licence plate. The set behind the grill are hanging from 2 pieces of angle iron. The bumper set is a Pilot brand kit that came with custom brakets. Just a couple of ideas...

 

Just had an idea. I have an '04 FX4 with the fog lights. How about using those for driving lights?? Is there a way I can turn the fog lights on without turning on the main headlights?

 

"Driving lights" are different than "fog lights." Driving beams are for seeing farther down the road with a fairly narrow / long pattern. Fog lights utilize a fairly flat / wide pattern to illuminate under fog and out to the sides and not far down the road - supposedly. You can't turn one into the other without physically changing the lights. Oh by the way, fog lights generally don't **** off oncoming motorists. Driving lights do - even when properly aimed.
