"Lighting:
Rigid Dually Spots (Behind the Grill)
Rigid Dually Floods (In Front of the Intercooler)"
Any pics of the lights? I had some on my F250 and want to do something similar to my F150.

Finished up the install of my Rigid Duallys today.
They look amazing! I ran just the floods in front of the intercooler for a week or so, and than added the spots behind the grill tonight.
I am looking for a roof rack and a 50" now!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rigid Dually Spots behind the grill paired with the Rigid Dually Floods in front of the intercooler. This combo creates a wall of light that'll make Stevie Wonder see! I wired these up using the supplied Rigid harnesses, and just ran the switches into the cab and mounted them on the headlight dimmer switch panel. I used my own switches, as I wanted a more low key setup, than the supplied Rigid switches. The wiring had to be extended to reach the battery cleanly, but it was expected, as these are universal kits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spot Lights alone would have been sufficient for my needs. Very minute light cutoff from the grill. These were mounted using the same method as Fishhawk460 HERE. Simply drill from below using a step bit, or moving up slowly in diameter. I used some scrap metal I had laying around, and a couple extra bolts, nuts, and washers to make the same bracket, which brought the lights up a bit closer to the grill.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flood lights in front of the intercooler provide a nice spread of light, and actually make it really nice to see the road signs at night. The spread is much higher than I had expected it to be for being mounted so low. However, as advertised, they do not throw the light out very far. This is why I believe they are best paired with a set of spots as well. I mounted these using existing holes in the frame on either side of the opening in front of the intercooler. I simply used some large washers in addition to the supplied hardware to mount these.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This here is the Zombie Assault Vehicle lighting configuration. With all lights on, you will wake the dead! Be prepared to be amazed at the light output of this setup! I find it to be a brilliant spread of light, and a best of both worlds setup! I also found that onroad, this layout is much more effective than the horn, or the popular middle finger to get slow drivers out of the passing lane! Simply put, cars will move out of your way as you make your way down the highway!

Appreciate it brotha! Needs a good wash and wax! Just got back from a 1800 mile road trip!
No need to be jealous, as you've got your hands on quite the truck as well! Especially at your age, I was driving a '78 F250 Ranger I bought back at your age.
Thanks for checking it out. Still need a retrofit as well!
Do it! I want to get a pair of D2 Wide Angle Floods for the rear, a 50" bar for the roof rack facing forward, and a 30" facing the rear from the roof rack.
