I am jealous. The dealer is telling me a delivery date of 9/21 and Crystal is telling me 10/3. I still can't get over the wait since I ordered my truck two weeks before you.
Does your smoked roof lights have led bulbs or regular amber bulbs?

Crystal had me at 9/2, The dealer was at 9/6 but the Truck came in on 8/31, go Figure!

Not much longer and your F350 will be here. I have No idea why mine came in before yours.

The Smoke roof lights came with Amber LED Bulbs but I feel they are not bright enough, so I ordered 5 Brighter Amber LED Bulbs from Superbrightleds.
The link enclosed is a different set than what I ordered and this set of Smoke lights and LED Amber Bulbs appear to be brighter.

On Spyder's web page regarding the LED taillights, they show two different part numbers for each type of LED taillight - that look like basically the same thing. Anyone know the difference?

I believe it comes down to the Lens color. I looked at them and decided on what I ended up ordering, perfect with the Ruby Red Color but others may like a different look.

I like Chrome but sometimes too much chrome is not for me. Now Ford does offer a color match Front Grill Surround but not as a option that I know of on a XLT.
So, I had mine Color Matched at the Ford Dealer body shop, I purchased a new unpainted surround and two days later it is painted and mounted.
Now this is the Look I was wanting.

Earlier you said you had Spyder lights. That link is for Venom lights. Anzo and Recon also make them but they all look about the same. Any idea who has the best quality.

The Box says Spyder LED Tail lights, SKU#5029188/Spyder part # ALT-YD-FS07-LED-G2-BK 1-set.

I had Recon for my F150 and I need to sell them and I'll take a big loss on them too.
Recon claimed No Hyper Flash but both of my turn signals did, after I got the flash relays I decided to go back to the SD, didn't include them (Recons) with my Sold F150.
My own fault for not doing more research on these aftermarket tail light LEDs.

I like LED rears but I don't like how the aftermarket ones are putting the backup light on the bottom instead of the top like factory. That's more like the older trucks.

Switched out the dimmer LED 194 Bulb for my Smoked Roof Lights to a brighter LED bulb, result: Exactly what I was looking for.

3rd LED Brake Light caused a Hum/sent back, will try a different brand.

I'm sort of jealous. Your truck fits in your garage. (My door height is only 7'.)


I asked my wife if we could add a bigger bay to the current garage, and I got one of those looks that translates as "only if you want to sleep there too."

Have you measured? My F350 has 35" rubber on it and it fits in a no-touch car wash that says "7' clearance".

I am so jealous of you guys with cab lights. I asked my best buddy who him and I do all of our 'projects' together if he'd be in to helping me this winter. Unfortunately he doesn't even like the look of cab lights and flat out refuses to help me drill holes in my roof. I don't know if I could bring myself to do it after the fact. One option I really wish I had.

Your truck is looking sharp!

The opening is 7'. When the door is up, there's only about 6'10" of actual clearance.

I don't want to scrape off my cab lights.

Your Door should be adjustable to raise it up further.
Mine barely fits and my opening is 6'11". (it was suppose to be 7' but the builder came up a tad shorter)

I have a slight 1" difference between the Garage Floor and the Driveway, there is a little step, I always back in, the cab clears the opening while my front wheels are still on the driveway, then I just back in the rest of the way.
