Driving lights done/working on switch
I've had these for a while, but between work and it being cold as ***** outside(don't have a garage either), never get a chance to work on my truck nowadays! Anyway i spent about 3hrs on christmas day since i was off, fighting the cold and i got my driving lights installed. It was not that easy bc the lights were so cheap,(bout $19) guess that's what i get for being cheap...lol Anyway i think they look pretty good...I've been able to get one pic the next day after i put them in and of course i didn't think about taking any pics while i was installing them....
I don't know the technical terms, but i measured 9"s from the opposite sides of the post in the center behind the ford emblem on the grill. I think i could have went an iinch farther on both sides but i've already got everything back together now and am not taking it apart again until absolutely necessary! It took me a while to figure out how to get that whole front grille piece off! Anyhow, i might should have went 10" or 11", but the lights are little so i think i did fine with the distance, it looks good to me.
I don't want my truck to look tacky, I don't kow wear to mount the switch at and i don't really think i'll like having a switch in my truck. I think it would look out of place. I've thought about splicing the wire to the drivers side headlight and the driving lights will just come on when i turn the headlights on, but i think that might might be kinda dumb cause i don't know if i'll wnat them on all the time.
I need help with this what sould i do? Is their somewhere for me to bring the wires into the cab at or do i need ot drill a hole in the firewall? Any help will be appreciated, i'm dieing to be able ot use these!!!

Take a look to see if you have the fresh air intake on the driver's side.
This was by the brake pedal, it is a rubber flap, about 1.5" in diameter.
My 2001 SuperCrew had one, so I am taking a guess your MY might still be the same. Seem to recall it was around where the edge of the carpet is at, but this could be slightly different, depending on the carpet and if the layout changed with the cab type.
