Thank you for your detailed reply.

The problem I'd be trying to solve isn't looks (if that was the problem I'd be trying to solve, I'd drive me and the truck off of something really tall... ) - but rather how the lights perform. IIHS, as many of us know, slammed the F150 for having terrible output, spread, and total illumination. Part of that is simply so we don't blind others. Part of that is less than optimal design. If the Recons, which really do look fantastic, perform identically to the stock ones, I'd skip that and go with the Anzos (when it's time to do that mod).

You got it correctly. The brightness of a headlight projection on the road depends on the bulb in your low beams, since you don't want to deal with LED or HID conversion kits, the brightness of a halogen bulb will be pretty much the same in Recon, Anzo or your factory headlights, because it's impossible to squeeze more out of it. You can also adjust the angle of projection on all of the headlights that you decide to proceed with. There are adjustment screws on the back to aim the beam.

Today we are here with the next step for upgrading our Ford F-150 and we feel super excited about it. No other accessory will provide your truck with a tough, off-road style and an extra layer of defense between your truck and the trails better then an off-road bumper. We've searched for a long time and came up with another solid choice – Warn Ascent Full Width Front HD Winch Bumper. What do you think of when you hear Warn? Right, winches and toughness. Those 2 things are successfully combined in this bumper, along with refined, low-profile styling and ultra-durable 11-gauge steel construction.

It comes fully packed with utility features for both winches and lighting - this heavy-duty off-road front bumper accepts most WARN mid-frame winches up to 12,000 pounds and features integrated dual light ports to mount auxiliary flood or spot sights. This bumpers comes in a durable black textured powder coat, delivering up to 2X corrosion protection and also accommodates oversized wheels. The installation is a breeze - pre-drilled bolt holes and cutouts make it easy to mount a WARN winch, even after bumper install.

What do you think about this Sport Bar? Would you install it on your F150?

That looks pretty sweet. Would it work with an MX4 bed cover though? I'm thinking no...

carid

Actually, it worked perfectly with our BAK roll-up cover, and the manufacturer says that this Sports bar is compatible with most retractable, roll-up, and folding bed covers. We can't confirm that it's going to work perfectly with MX4 as the bars get closer in at the top of the roll bar, but it may work.
