Default New pics and mods to the truck

Just bought some Harley Tails off ebay for $74 shipped.

(I got the guys info if anyone wants a pair or anything else OEM ford for discount price..)








Got a new third break light!





I had a buddy make some badges for me to replace the factory ones

Still looking for a true factory replacement for front/rear ford emblems 9"
Anyone knows where I can get a black one or carbon fiber, that woul dbe awesome. Thanks in advance.

Looking good!

What are the differences between the stock & harley tails?

When you say blacked out headlights, are you referring to the 3M tint tape they sale on ebay? Or is there another product out there you have in mind? I've looked at the 3M stuff, just hesitant to buy it.

I too want to tint the front windows, they look so much better that way.

Good luck on your future mods.

The Harley Lights are the same as the stock. The only difference is the Harley lights are smoked. I looked at a few differnet tail lights on ebay but couldnt find any I liked. Recon is supposed to be coming out with a new pair in a month or so. But those run at least $320. May not be worth it for me.

Headlights I was wanting to get are below. Found them on ebay.
I wouldnt reccomend tinting your heads. It will limit the amount of light the lights will throw out on the road. The lights will look dimmer.
just do a search on ebay for 06 F150 headlights. You will find plenty to choose from. I also did a thread on here of all the differnet kinds I could find. Search for Headlights by ukjonese. somethign should come up.

Thanks! I can see now that they are slightly tinted, not too much though. I may go with the 3M tape or the spray others have done to their tails. Prefer a stock look myself with only slight modifications, but would like it a little darker than what the harley's offer.

If you hadn't already noticed, I have the Lund Head/Taillight covers. You do notice the difference at night with the covers on, but I rarely drive at night. The 3M or anything permanent over the headlights, I'm not for. At least I can take the covers off if need be and is why I haven't sprung for the 3M tint covers. I've been looking at the black harley headlights to replace my stock heads and covers. Notice they seem to be stock on the '08 models now.

Good looking set of headlights you've selected. I'd just like to see what they'd actually look like on a 150 before purchasing. If you get them, post some pics for us.
