YES they sure do, then turn off when the boards retract

What I think is cool, is that there are 4 trigger wires (1 for each door) & when I open a right side door, only the right side board deploys & visa versa, however all the LEDs come on, no matter which board drops. They took me appx 4 hours to install, but I took my time & I am very particular...lol

Very, very nice. The AMP boards definitely clean up the appearance.

That 150 sure is sharp though.

It went really well. Fully settled and working away now. Sure like it here.

Best price I could find em for was $1,176 on Amazon & with my wifes Discover card, during the months of Oct-Dec we get 5% cash back on all purchases from Amazon. So approximately $1,118 when its all said/done, I believe.

A huge cost saving factor was that I could install them myself (AutoTech background) & given that, I did not need to purchase the Plug n Play system, which saved me even more $

I love my power boards I know you will also. It gives the truck a clean look. Heads up though you may want to install paint protection film on the bottom of the doors as they take a beating without side steps.

For sure. Work travels me around a bit, so if I get that way I'll let you know. Same if you come this way!

Wow! I'll keep my chrome tube steps, thanks. Besides I'm pretty sure they probably don't offer the power running boards for my standard cab!

I know this isn't an F150 but it is a FORD... Since the Wife & I have the same color vehicles (Ruby-Red) I thought it would be cool to post the Wheel color difference. She didn't like her OEM bright Wheel color, but also didn't really want Black like the Truck has.
So we had her OE Wheels powder-coated in a darker Gray Metallic & IMO while they aren't Black, they do look ssooo much better now

I really like it, black wheels are not my thing but I do like a gun metal or gray a lot. The car looks fantastic!

That made Keri happy, she said see I am not the only who doesn't like Black
I agree Black would've looked outta place on her Fusion, given the fact that the Truck has so many Black accents/graphics & her car doesn't.

The Fusion looks so much better with the grey wheels vs the bright chrome. I agree that black would have looked out if place. That was why I went grey on my wheels instead of black.
