No problem. If you have any experience at all working on cars or with a power drill, I'd strongly recommend doing this one yourself instead of paying a shop. These lights require 15 holes to be drilled in your roof. If just one hole is improperly drilled and sealed, your headliner can get ruined with water leaks. This is one of those times when you should do it yourself to make sure everything is done right. The install is very straight forward and doesn't require any hardcore mechanical/electrical knowledge. Drill the holes, seal it up, and run your power wire. After it's done you'll be kicking yourself for ever considering paying someone else to do it for you. Cheers

Where did u run your ground wire

J15

There aren't any ground wires. The HF kit is designed to use one of your mounting screws as a body ground. They work great. If you're not comfortable with that, you can always add a ground to hook up to your overhead console ground or snake it down the A pillar to ground with the rest of your fuse box.

Ok. Was little curious with the all alluminum. Anyway I could get u to take a closer up pic of the placement of your lights? If u can i would appreciate it.

Sure. I'll have to get to it after work. Generally speaking I used the roof channels as a guide. That made side to side alignment easy. In terms of front to back spacing, the 3 center lights are close to even with the center most light a hair further forward. The two outer lights are about 3" further back. If you want an easy way to get a feel for proper spacing, visit your local dealer and check out an F-250.

Looks great! Did you end up installing the lights yourself?

Thanks. No I couldnt do it. I usually lile to do wiring and installa like that but i couldnt bring myself to do it. And i thought if I let a company do it then they will be responsible also for any screw ups lol. But they did a great job.
Barracks Automotive, Charleston,WV. They did the lights.
