looks good, im not really a fan of the flame gauges but all in all it looks good.

Yea, i know, i wish i would have gone with different gauges, but you win some you lose some..
the lights are extremly easy. Thats what i love about ford, at least on the 03 and older. All there is to do is pull the two tabs under the hood, and the head light practically falls out. Put the new ones in, lock the tabs around the adjusting bolts and youre done. then its just a matter of adjusting the new ones. Mine were pretty close when i put them in but i had to adjust them up a little higher.

thanks guys, lol, actually the second picture is two. it just looks like one.
As far as adjusting the lights........If you have a haynes manual it sorta tells you, but for me that didnt work perfectly. It says to be on flat ground of course, and be back from a wall about 25 feet, and sorry, i dont remember much after that LOL. But i just drive up to a wall, get back about 20 feet or so, and make them level, and I started a little low. Then test drove it. Then turned the adjustment screw on the top side of the light, clockwise(I think), until they were a little higher, test drove it again, until they would light up the road well. The lights I bought were actually pretty close to what the factory ones were. I just had to tweak them up a little bit.
I also thought for what i paid for them, I got a really good deal. Im just hoping they dont stain really fast. But they seemed very durable.

Oh, and about the gauges....No, theyre really not as bright as the picture makes them look. the only thing now i wish i could find, were some blue needles, cuz the orange ones are a little hard to see at night.

Its a sticker plate that replaces the factory black faceplate. The factory face plate is tacked on in about 5-10 different places. I just peeled it off, and the new one is sticky all across the back
