get those huge crome round lights and bolt them right on your hood but then get an even bigger one to go in the center like a 9" er that way you can just cook the deers when ya hit them oh dont forget a cow catcher so it flings them right into the bed >

na just tuck em in the grill?

They fill in the holes completly and look like they were made for the application..


This is not the exact ones I have but it will give you the idea..

I know people have put hella 550's in those bumpers... I'm still looking, waiting to find a good deal.
Also, one of the sealed beam headlights also has the perfecet dimensions for there to I remember when I was at schucks... so maybe make some kind of brackets for those...

Their 90's Ford trucks...
hence the ford truck forum

eddie bauer f150's have them, I've seen XLT F250 and F350's with them, so probably XLT F150's may or may not have them as well..

The bumper was on Eddie Bauer and alot of diesel trucks.

I have Hella 550 series lights. They come in fog and driving. I think they fit, look, and perform great. There is a hole on the back top of the bumper that it almost centered above the openings. Thats where I mounted mine.

The bumpers with the holes are on all the '96s (and up on the HDs) and maybe some '95 models as well. You can buy the replacement bumper for not too much $, but the plastic trim is expensive if you can't reuse the trim from your current bumper.
