Daveantonio92's Build- 2015 F150, 22x12 on 35", Retrofit LED Headlights
New to Ford, I now have a 2015 F150 and a 2015 Edge for my woman.
Lariat: Crew Cab: 3.73 Gears: 5.0 V8: Short Bed.
What I have purchased and is on or going on this coming week;
-6" Rough Country Lift going on Tommorow 1/21
-22x12" Fuel Renegades 2-piece on 35" Fuel Mud Grippers 1/22 install
-Redline Lighting Retrofitted, Led Headlights w/ Diode Dynamics Switchback Led 1/25 install
-Raptor Retrofit, headlight wiring adaptor
-All interior Door Speakers, Led exterior lights for license plate.
-De-badged tail gate and 4x4 sticker
Upcoming mods- [Next 30days or so]
-Paint Match- Raptor Style Mesh Grille w/ white leds instead of amber.
-Catback Exhaust + Tune- Still very indecisive want a nice grumble but not obnoxious.
-White Rock Lights
-Install subwoofer
Without further a due...
Photos of the lights and my truck as it sits now.

Yes ford did take blame for their fault, and a settlement was accomplished [Can't get into specifics] ... Now onto the fun stuff!
In regards to a PM from @Wreckless how did you take off the badges?
If you have a white truck I recommend getting these off right away, as they leave a yellow hue from the adhesive which will be harder to compound out once its sun baked over months. FOR THE 4x4 stickers.
I took a heat gun for 15-30 seconds of High heat evenly side to side over the chrome badges on rear of truck. Than I took a plastic wedge and placed it in a corner and peeled it up. Had to reheat 3-4x each piece to finish removal. Temp was around 50 degrees.
For the 4x4 sticker just heat again, peel up corner with finger nail carefully... and peel at a slow angle downward. After I was done I compounded area, than used a polish, followed by waxing area and looks like it never was there !
Slow and Steady is the way to do it.

Things I also forgot to mention plan on doing a retrofit to fog lights w/ rectangle rings and run leds on them, not doing morimoto. And Oracle wheel lights.
Truck was dropped off this morning 1/21 9 am for install of 6" once I have it photos will be posted.

The shop doing my lift and wheels is behind schedule... So today they finally got to installing the lift, and wheels arrived. Due to snow storm this weekend in NY may not have truck back until Tuesday. Stay tuned
