lighting

I know we've been thru this before but let me ask again: what is a good headlamp/bulb upgrade for 2004 F250? What about auxillary lighting?

put some sylvania sliverstars in the headlights and fogs and you will see a big difference; 9007's in the head lights and 9005's in the fogs

I also went with the Silverstars and selected the PIAA 80 series driving lights for aux lighting... The PIAAs are relayed to my high-beams and at 110 watts they turn night into day.

For aux backup lights, I bought a cheap set of small lights at Wally World and tied them into my trailer harness reverse wiring.

Pics in my gallery.

I also went with the Sylvanias, what a big difference. My next mod is to get ahold of an SUV harness or one from APC so that I can run my hi and lo beams at the same time without burning out my wiring. Also looking at modifying my fog lights to stay on with the hi beams on.

redstar, your lights are identical to mine, 2002. The first real change to these lights were 2002 and they ran through 2004. The SUV harness works for yours as well, plus the Silverstars should be a quick upgrade for you. I'm looking through our sponsors now for the SUV harness and BriteBox.
Just upgrading to the Silverstars will amaze you.
