I baked them at 250, three intervals of 11-12 minutes. Then once separated I put the housing back in for a few minutes at a time to make sure I got all of the glue out, before resealing. Just be patient, it's really not to tough. I did it with no backup plan other than parking the truck until I bought headlights.

Default Mirror LEDs

I installed LEDs under the reflectors in the mirrors. They are wired in as turn signals. Here is a video of them in action:




After taking the reflectors out I had use a Dremel to cut the white plastic off the back.



LED strip placed under the reflectors.




Spliced into the other LEDs on the mirror.

I spent $5.00 on a 3" snorkel. I have a 2009 f150 STX. I just ordered a 2011 snorkel from Ford. OEM and 5 minutes later, fit perfectly. MPG increase 2-3 over the last 2 years.

the lockable fuel cap? I'll link the ford site but I'm sure you can buy them on eBay or wherever for cheaper. I was just there so figured what the hell and bought it.

I bought the same one too. Works perfect.
Amazing though, after 25 years of having fuel caps and only 1 year with the capless, I constantly keep forgetting it's there again.
