Default Off Road Lights??

I'm thinking about getting two PIAA 520 off-road lights to go on the front of my bull-bar of my F-150. Do you guys think I should do it? anyone know a cheap place to get these lights? Are they easy to install yourself? (I'm not really electrically inclined)

Yep, definitely like lights on a bull bar... You will have to run a switch to your truck's dash somewhere and pull power from the battery and get a good ground connection.

Should have pretty detailed directions, but isn't too hard to do...

i've installed piaa 510 lights in my fog light holes and it is very easy. piaa has some of the easiest lights to install especially since they come with a switch that just plugs into the wires instead of actually having to plug up wires. the lights come with a relay and all that you need.

Thanks! How easy is it to run the wires for the switch into the cabin to mount the switch onto the dash?

it's really easy, there is a rubber plug that goes in a hole through the firewall right under the steering column, just poke a hole through that piece of rubber and run the wires through. the switch that piaa sends comes with double sided tape on the back of it so mounting it is as easy as pulling it off and sticking it where ever you want it.
