Added led bed lights and a reed switch to keep things easy to see.

Looks really good. Got me wanting to do mine now. I've got a 2014 XLT Super Crew. The color is called sunset metallic. Any suggestions on a color to go with?

Lamin-x has 20% coupon code for F150 pre-cut headlight and foglight films. Puts that under $50 for both sets.
http://www.lamin-x.com/default.asp

Use code "F150DEAL" for 20% off.

I ordered yesterday so I can update after I install if anyone is interested.

Protecting the headlights was one of the first things I did. But I used the Husky Shield film. Its held up very well and was cheaper than the Lamin-X even with the 20% discount that they are offering.

I had the Husky version on my stock headlights and had no issues whatsoever. After the 20%, these were about $5 more than I paid for the Huskies, but this has the fogs too, so for $5 more, I get the fogs covered.

I did a little checking and it looks like the code may have expired at 12:00 midnight 8/7. They are on a new deal already. You could use code "SIGNUP10" for 10%. This code good until 8/31.

Rmaas,

Nice job with the vinyl, but my favorite item was the four-legged, lop-eared, tail-wagging friend in the bottom of a photo.

Default LED Cap Lights

I have been adding to my 2016 f150 1 mod at a time, its time to post a few.
This mod cost about $40.
I added 2 LED strip lights to the inside of my Leer cap.
I mounted them with the adhesive they came with above the side windows.
I wired them to the OEM LED lights.
3 months after the install, so far so good.
I was worried about the adhesive but it is holding up.
The lights were purchased online from Super Bright LEDs.
