BTW. Raptor retrofit has them for $990 shipped for everything. Best deal I've seen so far. My wife has an Escape with the HIDs and they are awesome. It seems everywhere else has them for around $1300 without the bulbs and ballasts.

LizardKing- Here are my thoughts for what they are worth.
I too have a silver truck with the chrome grille, wheels and trim around head/tail lights. As others have said the FX4's have the mono color and blackout theme consistently over the entire truck. With almost any other color besides silver you have a nice contrast or lack of with darker colors. If you go black, you really need to go all in. Door handles grille, mirrors etc. The silver/chrome would continue the current theme of your truck. Also, there is a LOT of chrome up front with the grille surround, bumper, lights. The gray color would blend in with the paint color very well while still leaving enough chrome trim so the lights don't look out of place. So pretty much what others are saying just with more words.

As for price. I believe a forum member is selling the complete set up in chrome for $830.

I would go with chrome, it'll look great with all the chrome you already have.

I went with the Grey Raptor HIDs (RaptorPerf)
Looks great with my color scheme and FX2 grey tails!

That gray looks nice with silver too. I'm thinking chrome though. They all look good.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Still stuck between gray and chrome. I'm tempted to get gray in case I change the tail lights. That way it shouldn't look too out of place. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
