I used those same type you have in your grille when I had my Expedition...they worked, but started to fail after about 6 months (started losing individual LEDs) and were dim compared to these. They are a bit more, but are truly waterproof and crazy bright.
Look for the TIR3, Gen3 or 3w when you look at LEDs...those are the latest technology and brightest - it's what are used in current LED light bars on PD/FD units. Crazy bright and hella durable.

Anybody who has an sense at all will have a go-bag prepped for the zombie apocalypse, along with a couple weapons and a few rounds.

Just picked up a 2000 Limited V10 4x4
It is not on the road yet, I have had it at my friends garage and he is doing upgrades and repairs on it. (I kind of blew my whole wad buying the truck and then wasn't able to sell my old F250 and ended up trading it for a little card for my girlfriend, now I have some big *** checks coming so I can actually afford to register it and finish getting it road worthy)
Already done
To do very soon (within the next 2 weeks)
To do after all the above stuff is fixed up
There is probably more stuff that I want that I can't remember right now but that is a good start.
