First, thanks for the compliments guys. Lets see how many questions I can answer for you.

http://www.thelightingfirm.net/ is the company making these headlights. They are oem projector housings retros, with upgraded bulbs inside, and obviously the light pipe added. They can be wired as switch backs, or left as running lights, I have mine wired as running lights.

https://www.f150forum.com/f83/2015-h...-alike-258678/ This is where I originally saw the lights, and who I purchased them from tuxedoblack11. There are a few vendors on this site including tux that sell these, but you can just as easily order from the lighting firm directly if you want.

They came with a harness, I only had standard chrome halogen heads before these, and I have ZERO complaints since I have gotten these. Harness was very easy to installs There was no instructions, however I figured it out in under 5 minutes and had the lights installed in under 30 min. Because I had the lights not wired for the switchback function, everything was plug and play and wired internally. I hear this is not the case for switchbacks, they must have the Pipe wired separately.

Hope I helped guys I would love to see more on the road like mine. Also gives me a great excuse to run with my running lights on. They look great with the headlights off and the running on.

-Eric

Yes. It is just an actual cover that is fitted over your stx bumper. The parts can be found for a decent price.

Default 2014 update

To all,

Here are the minor updates that I have done to my 2014 F-150 STX Sport Edition……………..

*Access soft roll-up tonneau cover
*Line-X spray-in bedliner
*WeatherTech molded floor mats
*20% window tint on the rear windows

It`s not much but I`m pretty happy where I have the truck at now. The final two modifications ( if one wants to call it that ) will be a set of four Goodyear Duratrac tires and a set of mud flaps. I do like the wheel style and the way the truck sits so I`m pretty much good to go.

I'm with you. I've found factory sun visors with the illuminated mirrors on EBAY for reasonable coin. If the wiring is not available, you'd just have to run + and - back to the dome light.

Definitely on my to-do list!

the wiring is not there I added the lighted visors along with the factory rear camera in mirror I removed the headliner and found standard wiring harness I bought the harness I needed from tasca ford and installed it the harness has the wiring for the sunvisors the overhead console if you want to install one and the wiring for the camera the harness part# is DL3Z-14335-BJB I got it for $39.83 it lists for $64.00 and as far as the turn signals in mirror mirrors are not wired for stx but the main wiring harness to mirror is, all u need to do is rewire your mirror with a new mirror or go the way I did I went to a salvage yard and found 2 damaged mirrors and removed the wiring and installed and they work great...tom

Ok guy's I am trading in my 2010 Screw XLT for a 2014 Screw STX. I have it down to two trucks both white with 5.0L one has the sport package with 20's 3:31standard rear end and the other has 18's with 3:55 limited slip. I like the sport package but I want limited slip rear end. What do you guys think?
