I installed all ford oe stuff on my f250 and it was about a 3hr job. Taking my time. The factory plug is behind the pass side interior kick panel and the clips all snapped right in place. Placement was easy for me as i had my 99 dually next to it for measurements. Best thing next to a leveling kit i did for the looks of it. I believe everything cost me right about $125.

I purchased all my stuff at my local dealer (gridley, ca ford) With the exception of some sealant for the base of the lights. The headliner wasnt bad but i didnt have a overhead console either. Took the visor and trim pieces down and it was out. 10 min job to get to the bare steel roof. Another 5 mins hooking Up the wiring and about 1hr 30m driloing measuring and centering everything. Use masking tape and mark and measure you lines with it. Only way to go. The last hour was reassembly and admiring the lights glowing as the sun went down lol. Best $130 i ever spent on that truck

The Perks of using the factory harness is that it runs off the headlight switch just as it would if the factory installed them.

If you do some searching you can get the Recon LED kit (comes in smoked, and clear covers also) with the harness for around $90

Some do, but not all of them. You need to make sure you look at the fine print...

Edit: According to their website, they all should come with the harness.

I bought a kit for my Duramax....

Recon lights were $100 and the wiring kit was 40$ worth it all day long...

The smoked lenses go great with my black truck, and the LEDs look great at night.
