well i got a few new mods for the excursion!

6 head amber/white LED strobe lights hidden in the back window...very bright with 15 diff flash patterns

control unit


the lights





after getting my 5.4 triton decals on ebay i asked the company if they would make some V10 decals and they did! i really like them on both my expedition and excursion. we'll see what ya'll think.



third but not last is i picked up a front light bar for $100 off craigslist. i'm going to go with a set of Hella 550ffs and 4" HID off road lights but gotta hold off a bit for that. i'm also painting the bar tan to match the whole tan front thing i have going on lol



i'll try to get a vid of the lights up soon...i'm on a slow connection right now.

safety...you'd be amazed how many situations extra visablity can help. pulling people out of the ditch, stopping on the side of the road for whatever reason..ect ect

i'll have to get the link to e-bay later, you just have to ask them to make them in the "6.8 V10" version instead of the 5.4 version.

How hard are yours to rotate between lock and auto, I ask because mine work between both settings but almost need pliers to move them they are really tough to turn
