You can switch emblems provided the new one is as big as or bigger than the old one. You can just pry the emblems off if you're careful. The desired way would be to remove the fender or whatever and pop them off from the back, but either way will work. Just be careful with the paint. Clean the area thoroughly, and then use outdoor double sided tape to stick the new ones on.

As for the headlight bulbs, not sure exactly what you mean. You want bright ones? Get the highest wattage rated bulbs you can find.

thanks zach, the headlight deal...i have aftermarket diamond cut headlights on my 94 f150, right now i have silverstar bulbs in it, those are supposed to be "the whitest brightest light" from what they claim, im wanting something as close to the HID look as possible rather than paying 200 for a HID conversion kit, i was wondering which bulb out there is the closest looking to these, and i dont want something that has that yellowish brown tint to it like a regular halogen bulb

I'm not even sure what the "HID" is lol.

Simply put, the clear bulbs rated for the highest wattage will deliver the brightest light. So if you're lookin' for the brighest lights, you'll just have to shop around for higher-wattage rated bulbs.

For the emblems, get some fishing line and slip it under a corner of your old emblem. Use a sawing motion to cut thru the emblem tape. Clean it up w/ either Goo Gone or WD40. Get some 3M emblem tape from your favorite parts store to attach the new emblems with. Check Ebay for Euro Dezigns bulbs. They will give you that simulated HID look.

Josh, I have the Silverstars on my F350 and I like them. If you want more of the HID look, you want the "white" light specturm check out this link from Sylvania: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...on/default.htm
It says you will want the 4100-5400K kelvin range for the HID look. You can pick up those headlight bulbs on EBAY for about $12 from what I found, but the Silverstars actually put out more light for our application.
I use HID lighting on my mountain bike and quads and it is awsome since it is actually putting out more white light compared to the halogen bulbs(yellow light) for the power it takes, but unless you upgrade to an actuall HID system which is $$$$$ on your truck, you can use the other bulbs to get the HID look.
