Thank you, appreciate that.
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.

Really compliments the painted front, but I'll bet it would be nice even with the chrome bumper and grille.
Oh yeah, I had those on my '12, heads and tails both, they were aftermarket, but I never had an ounce of trouble. I agree, they'd look good even with chrome.
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.

Changed out my Raptor wheels the other day to these Vision Manx Overland, 17X9, grey satin, +20. Used my 315/70/17 KO2's on them. I think I like them, gave me the amount of poke I was after. Still have the Raptors, undecided on what I'll do with them.

Looks great! Like that they are grey - to many blackout rims these days for my taste anyways.

Also, more sidewall = better bet they ride nicely.

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.

I like the offset and color. To me, it's the center cap that doesn't look quite right. How do they look with no center cap?

Very refreshing and nice to see an owner of a pickup with larger tires that don’t stick out far beyond the actual fenders.

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.
