Front bumper driving light cut outs completed

I finely did the driving light cut outs on my 2005 Super Duty. I also sanded the chrome off using a angle grinder with a flap disk and welded some brackets from behind the bumper to hold the light buckets in. Than painted the front and new 2013 rear bumper with truck bed coating "the rear bumper was already black".
Here are some pictures.....
Before....


After....








2013 Rear Bumper....

This just confirms that I like the black bumpers way more than the chrome...

the work? If you did please post them.

I am a fan of chrome but that look is nice and clean. Where did you get the driving lights from?

Ya I really like the look of the amber LEDs in the grille like the Raptor
I didnt take any pictures when I was doing the work.
I bought the driving lights from Summit they are Westin 4" driving lights.
Next step is to buy and install a LED light bar between the fog lights.

The driving lights that I installed in the front bumper work great...
I still need to buy and install an LED light bar between the fog lights.
