I got a little bored with the LED lights in my Spyder projector headlights, so I changed them from white to amber bulbs. They were a bit pricey, just under $50 for all 10 of them, delivered from Hong Kong. But they are brighter than the white ones were. I couldn't even wait to get the other side done before taking a picture.

FYI: these are my DRL's, always on with the key.

Agreed!!! Plastidip'd my whole truck black. Ford emblems on grille and tailgate, F150 emblems on front fender, step rails and stock wheels. Changed the whole look of the truck!!! I'll try to post pics.

Yes pics!

I've considered doing that as I really like the idea of matte black (truck is black as it is) - so I'd like to see one already done

Let us know how it goes. They're pretty easy to install.

I'm working on making some of these right now for the big hole in the bumper. So far they have been quoted at 50$ dollars a piece but i'm waiting on two more quotes. They should be pretty cool when they are done.

Looks good! Is the F-150 removable?

Make sure you get Fords permission or they will shut you down and sue you, just happened to me for the led door sills I was selling. Apparently you can't say or use any word they have trademarked without their permission.

No its part of the whole piece. I was looking at these on ebay and figured I could make one cheaper.
