They really do light up the night behind you!! My brother keeps telling me I couldve gone smaller and simpler, but I figured LED's will last a long time, dont have to worry about replacing bulbs, and they look bad ***!

They compliment my rigid industries light bar up front

Can never have too much light!

This is what I did upfront...

Here is my up front light I'm looking into doing a Bumper Guard for some auxiliary fog lights to use when driving at night (properly aimed of course) or just doing a simple light bar to add a few more lights....decisions decisions.

I like the idea of putting them behind the grill. How did you mount them back there if I may ask?

Ford has "smart Relay" system that doesn't like extras added on and can shut circuit off for 15 minutes. Relays using wire from circuit as trigger is the best way. There is a great electric relay available here: http://www.waytekwire.com/item/80121...BUTION-MODULE/

Thanks for the reply. I tied them into the reverse lights on the trailer harness in the rear. I've had no issues with it at all. Considering the trailer connector is meant to hook up just that, camper toy hauler etc, it would make sense that circuit is fine for 2 lights. The front light bar is hooked up to my up fitter switch.

That looks great! I would have done the same if I had your year truck and that grille!

For mine I mounted them on the header panel that runs across behind the grille. I put some big washers to hold them steady and so far so good!
