Bug Slinger
Changed out the kit switch for a nice little rocker switch..
Have had these on the truck for a week. Wasn't sure of the look at first but its really growing on me. After running with them at night I am very glad I have them. I was out taking pictures of the Aurora last weekend and on the return trip I caught a moose coming up the ditch about 600ft out in front of the truck getting ready to cross the highway. With the lights on I managed to spot the moose sooner before he crossed my path allowing me to stop in time..
Unfortunately I had the camera buried in my bag and wasn't able to snap a photo of him in time. I also should have taken photos of the lights that night but it was around 3AM and I was focused on driving..
I'll snap some good night shots here tonight..

Man your truck looks nice. Blue and black go together so well. But sorry I don't see how it looks like a raptor. Still a very sweet looking truck tho.

finally got them installed on my '06. i dont know why you guys were having so many problems installing them. it took me maybe 10min a side by myself without having to realign anything. just trim cowl, take out front bolt, take off hood strut, close hood, take out second bolt and slide in mount and put the rear bolt back in, open hood and put front bolt in. piece of cake!
