Not wired up yet, just had time to get the bolted on before the sun went down. See my previous posts for the switch panel I'll use.

Hmm. I want to put an NFAB light bar on and then some lights but deciding on PIAA, KC Slims or these. Interested in seeing their output.

You will be MUCH happier with the Daylighters than with the all-popular, yet much less effective LED lights.

Good for you!

Someone should tell Ford to remove the "much less effective" LED headlights as an option on the 2015.

The off road halogens aren't my thing. Much more options with LED with less power draw. Although, they looked good on Marty's truck.

I love the old daylighters. The nice thing is that if you get caught in a snowstorm they get hot enough to melt the snow and ice off of the lense.
On the flip side I use to have the old vinyl/foam covers on my daylighters and I accidentally flicked the switch on one. I have no idea how long they were on for but what a mess. Melted the lense covers and cracked both lenses from the heat.

What light bar? The tabs look to be toward the rear and most (nfab etc...) seem to be on the front. Looks nice. I am actually looking at the new PIAA LED lights, just waiting to hear some reviews.
