[QUOTE=TickTack;5197106]Installed a pair of these the other day. Fold down rear seats without having to drill holes are stuff. Installing both took 10min max. Looks totally stock.

I flip my seat bottoms up frequently for the dog, so the things that I would normally stuff under there (jumper cables, first aid kit, small tool kit and extra jacket/hat/gloves) are now stuffed behind the seat back. I'll snap a picture later if I can remember.

I did both sides of mine with a fishing lead kit, some heat shrink, and a couple of key rings. No drilling, or latch removal involved.

Thanks - I just purchased a pair myself. A bit pricy for what it is, but I'd spend $65 worth of my time just fiddling to make one latch work and it wouldn't be nearly as nice.


I have my whole sound system back there, so easy access for tuning and tweaking is nice...

Little bit over $50, bought $50 diode dynamics RGBW demon eyes and scored a set of 1st gen morimoto C-bar lights for $10 from somebody on F150 nation on facebook. Opened my headlights, threw some paint on there and installed. Pics:

Thanks, yeah the demon eyes are great. Pretty simple install too, especially if you're running a mini h1 projector. I just wired them to my side marker lights, black to power red to ground, so I'm not really using 90% of what these can do, but I didn't really feel like buying a bluetooth controller when all I really wanted was red anyway.

I know it's pretty easy to put them in the mini H1's, but what do you think about stock FX4 black housing projectors on the 2014's?

The problem with OEM projectors is that in my experience the shroud around the lens (the part that bolts up to the reflector bowl the bulb sits in) is usually closed off, so you have to do a bit of cutting to open that up enough to stick the demon eye in there slightly.

That being said, I've never heard of anybody not being able to install one, though...just takes a bit of ingenuity to get them to work sometimes.
