Anybody have any pics of these installed and light output? I'm torn between these and the 05. If I go to 05 I will have to do some work to trim my header panel, and I am not known for my delicacy or patience for a project like that!

Output is the same. Using the same projector for either of the two conversions.

I know he has done at least one. Or try him at his shop.

From what I read, it is more than a trim. It is an all out demo project. Once you start, you can never go back.

That makes sense. I did not want to bother you too much so I figured I would ask here. Appreciate it.

Well, I got my foglights installed. Not without dropping one and putting a crack in it. Install was rather easy except for how the adjustment screw attaches at the bottom. It's a square peg trying to fit in a smaller round hole. I just used the threaded part behind the attachment instead of making it pop in. (I'm sure no one understands what I mean by that.)
Anyways, I adjusted them (I think) to where they are the same height. I measured this by standing a ways away and kneeling down until the brightness appeared at the same height for both lights. Then I took it for a drive. I parked near a building and the first thing I noticed was how much higher the light was cast on the wall versus the low beams from the headlight. I attempted to adjust the fogs down further but no matter how much I tightened the adjustment screw, nothing happened. In fact, it appeared to get worse. I gave up and called it a night. Rather discouraged, not at the foglights, but more at my ineptitude.

I will be doing my install today. how did the wires go into the plug for our 05-07 models? Looking at the install guide it says you must test for the correct polarity? electrical stuff haunts me and I tend to over think it. would I just match the wire color to what is already on the ford connector?
Fordblueheart, I am wondering if it would be an advantage to try and adjust the fogs down as much as possible before bolting the bracket to the bumper?

I don't think the bracket and fog bolted together will fit in the opening.
When it came time to install mine, I watched the video posted previously and read over the pdf that Yahiko posted.
EDIT: The video was very good at showing that ANYONE can do this.

I just got my headlamps and wiring kit from Tony. Can anyone help with install with pics or video? I'm installing on 2014 350 Platinum. I am having a hard time finding a location to mount the main wiring harness and ballasts. I installed the fogs with no issue and they look great now I want to get the head lamps on.

WOW.......got mine and finally installed a few adjustments and now I can drive legally without the rigid, non DOT certified, fog lamps. Tony was a class act and answered my calls. If you read this Toni come up with more stuff for our trucks
