Keep looking, found my set on ebay early on when they 1st came out and paid premium price $1,300.00, but they came with the harness to make them truly plug-n-play.

I've seen some sets go for as little as $600.

I just can't believe it took ford this long to give us truck guys some better lighting. Upgrade to a hbi or cbi bulb and you'll be even more impressed with them.

good job! enjoy driving at night. personally, I would have gone with the chrome version because of your front end is mostly chrome, but it looks good none the less.

Agreed...chrome would've matched better with this grille...but I don't know how long I'll have this grille. Really looking at the custom Raptor grille a board member is putting together. If I do that, then the chrome lights will look out of place lol.

EDIT: I've also played with the idea of getting the grey parts of the lights painted Ruby Red. That is a wish for another day though lol.

I think silver is a lot more forgiving. Nice truck!

I think for you [MENTION=174992]FL5OVE[/MENTION], the limited grill will be nice on yours. keeping some chrome to match the front bumper.

I would love to have the limited grille. I really like the looks of it...but the price of Ford grilles...nooooot so much.

Do what I did, I have the same grille you have. Take it apart (5 pieces) plastidip the grating and have the surround painted to match or find one already painted.

Before



After




I think breaking up all the chrome with a painted surround would help those lights blend a little better.
