It's definitely less coverage than the standard halogens.
Here's some quick pics I took tonight for reference.

Parking lights only -



LED fogs only 1 -




LED fogs only 2 -

That's looking damn good! The Harley valence and the Saleen grille look really good together. I don't know if I would have thought about that combo before, but I really do like it.

question for you though... Are you going to paint the valence Black or Tan? Just curious, and keep up the good work!

Looking great! Did you get the proper lugs for those rims with the rims?

It will stay black as I'm changing all the gold to black in the next couple of weeks!

I had to order the lugs from Ford. They won't be here until around Tuesday of next week.

However I did get the Nitto NT420S tires mounted up today.
I just had to go ahead and bolt them up too!

are those HID headlight bulbs just direct replacement or was there more to the install?

Thanks. I prefer the 08 HD wheels over everything else I've seen also.

I'd like to but they are cost prohibitive.


Quick shots from today. Was going to try and clean up truck but it's been raining.

The Caps you can do yourself and you can do the covers for ebay handles.... def not that pricey of a mod. And that looks great. The saleen vents ruin the look imo though

Yep some will like the vents and some won't.
I had blacked out F150 emblems but didn't like them....they looked cheap to me.
Because FORD decided to put 3 holes in the fender, it is not worth the effort to have them filled, sanded and the whole fender painted.
So I found an alternative in the Saleen vents.
