Nice truck, man!! I have the same truck, except mine's and XLT. I love the sound of the MBRP, so don't let these 5 inchers get to you!!
Definitely get the minimum three gauges -- I went with the DiPricols from ITP with a four-gauge pillar mount. ITP is also a site sponser, and I love how well they match the look of the stock cluster:
I have yet to add the forth, but it will be there shortly. The tranny "gauge" on the dash is worthless. Ford hosed us by making most of the gauges just a a three range indicator (low, mid-scale, and YOU'RE SCREWED!!). Basically, slightly more fancy idiot lights.
I've had the time for a few more mods, but you're right there on the same path as me -- get ready to hang on to your britches when you put in the DP!!! Which tunes did you get??

I was looking at that guage set from ITP i think im going with them, they look really nice in your truck. Didnt know they match up so perfect to the factory dash Lighting! On the DP tuner i chose the 60 tow, 80econo, then the crazy 140extreme lol. its mostly a daily driver but when ever some one on the street messes with me ill just flip the switch and go at it lol.. I own a 20ft center console boat so thats why i got the tow tune. For the bulbs, its not just the bulbs, It's a Hid kit. Basically it comes with 2amps 2bulbs, and the wiring but its direct bolt on just gotta find a place to mount the amps close by the bulb housing. The bulbs are 10000k, usually the higher K the lighting is the lower the light will be on the road and they turn from yellow, white, blue, purple, to pink.. so yellow would be 3000kelvan i believe, white is 5000k, blue is from 6000k-10000k.. i had 12000k on my old daily driver and they were blue with a little purple in them. Btw the kit ran $135 shipped!
Okay, sorry to hijack, but which kit did you use? There's no application guide I can find, and there are a pile of different kits. They all come with the different color bulbs -- just need to find the one for our trucks...
BTW, I think I'll go with the 8000s -- I like the blue look, but a bit less is enough for me...
Nevermind... It dawned on me that the numbers on the kits match the stock headlight part number... DUH!!
EDIT: Just ordered the 8000K -- can't wait to put it in!!!
Good choice! my brother bought the 8000k and they look really good. You'll be happy with how much more you can see at night When ever i get a few bucks to throw around im going to get Hids for the Fog lights. Seen it done and it looks like pure sex

Hey, that's a great idea. My XLT doesn't have the stock fogs, so I've been thinking of adding them. This would be a bad-@$$ way to really set it apart...
Thanks for the heads-up on these! When I get the kit in, I'll post a new thread with some before & after shots...
