Does anybody know if a front bumper from a 99 lighting will fit on a 2001 regular F -150 and if it will do you need anything that is not already on the 2001 F-150 Thanks!

 

I've just gone through the same thing and yes your 99 Lbumper will fit your 01 f150!Go on www.fordpartsonline.com and grab the phone #.Ask for Gary Star he's the master for parts he knows the part#'s you'll need! There are four brackets in totall. Two are the fog lite brackets which go to the frame and two are side bumper supports for the Lbumper cover which are made of plastic. All four should cost you $80 in change U.S. You'll have to remove the original upper plastic bumper cover directly on the top and the lower valence and tow hooks if it's 4x4. Don't sweat it!It can be done on a Sunday! I would recomend buying the factory fogs for your year bumper cover there almost the same$ as aftermarket!

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks that helps alot! So does the bumper cover from the lighting fit over the factory upper part of the bumper or does it have to come off. If it does is there a impact bar that I need

 

The original steel part of the bumper now acts as a re-bar for the Lcover.It fits right over top!If you needed a new re-bar for a lightning they would give you a regular bumper off a f150.

 

Would a '99+ L bumper/grille setup work for a '97? Looking at doing a '97 F150 for a project vehicle. Thanks!

 

Yes a 99 and up grill and bumper will fit on a 97 98 but the brackets involved to do this are alot!your best bet is get a complete front end from a 99 and up at a scrapyard. If your looking for a lightning style bumper for a 97 98 check out www.wingswest.com they have a user friendly with brackets front Lbumper!

 

Looks like you guyz got the bumper cover figured out. What kinda lights are yall running. The lightning lights are a total pain.

 

What are the parts needed? Who has the best prices on the brackets and does anyone have part numbers? Thanks!

 

I personally had no problem with the factory Lfog lites,but you do have to get the right year fogs for the matching Lbumper cover!They do very from year to year in the way of how they mount.If you use the brackets that I suggested they'll work great and they're the same money as aftermarket.

 

I had a set. Then i rode in the rain one time with them on and crack. Tossed em the next day.
