Yes, I used the light kit from F150LEDS, the strips come bit long, just need to cut off the part you don't need. Ihad the boards off the truck to make it easier. I just determined where I thought they'd work best, cleaned the area with alcohol, and laid down a bead of RTV, letting it setup for a few minutes. Took the protective strip off the tape on the strips, and pressed the strips into the RTV.
Power was grabbed from the grey/violet wire in the cablerun under the kickplate on right side. I fed the wires from the left side behind the back seat. Ground, you grab anywhere.
I don't recall if I posted this photo, but here is one showing the underside.

Wow, I don't think I've seen those smoked headlights in the wild anywhere around here. Do you guys remember those few years where the FX4 package had different, darker headlights? I always thought they looked really sharp, and these also kind of add that same classier toned-down look. Really compliments the painted front, but I'll bet it would be nice even with the chrome bumper and grille.
Actually, these aren't smoked, just most of the chrome trim is black, with clear lens. I got a very good price on these, plus being OEM, no surprises, and the quality is there.

Thanks guys, they're growing on me, wasn't really convinced at first.
Robb, they do ride great right now. Belle tire obviously went with the recommended 35psi on the door. I had been keeping the front at 42, and the rear at 40, judging by what I heard from the Raptor guys. Rides a bit stiffer then, but the tires wear better I'm told.

Thanks Steve, amazing what a difference wheels make, surprise me when I first saw it.
Thank you, when I get it back from the body shop, I'll pull them of and take a look. Maybe some grey on the flat top?
Thanks, I didn't want them to stick out too far either, throws crap all over the sides, but is one way to prevent tailgaters.
