after market lights?
I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death but I finally got my bull bar with pre-drilled slots for two off-road or similar lamps. I'd like to get two and connect them to the uplifter switch on the inside. First off what suggested lamps are there in store for me? Second, how much of a pain is it to connect to the switch?
I'd like to be able to use the lights legally, if it's possible since the low beams on this truck suck bad.
Thanks.

Many of us have (and like) Rigid lights. LED's are recommended. Go to LED Lights | Off Road LED Light Bars | Military L E D Lighting | Defense L.E.D. Lights | Agriculture LED Lighting | Marine LED Lights | Mining LEDs | Landscape L.E.D Light | Police LED Lights | Fire Rescue LED | Rigid Industries and pick whichever you like. Many vendors sell them, typically for a hair less than the mfr site.
As for the upfitter install, connect whichever you like to a pass through wire then run a wire to the lamp. Ground to the battery and enjoy the view.

This thread has a slightly different approach, but a pretty slick one: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...r-install.html

Many folks like to get BIG lights...Size has no relation to quality. I have seen small (2" x 4") lights put out more focused light than a large flood light. I had a truck with Ag-lights for backup lights. Good fog lights should put out a fan-shaped pattern.
