I have a 2008 F150 Flareside Supercrew Silver. I am looking at upgrading the lights in it (headlights, fog lights, 3rd brake light, and tail lights) so far this is what I have in mind:

Headlights:


Fog Lights:


3rd:


Tail:

or


Two things:

1) I dont really like either of the tail lights but flare side is so hard to find nice lights for I would much prefer LED lights where there is a cluster of them but havent found such a thing yet.
2) I have heard that putting black lights like this on a silver truck could make it look really weird? are there any comments on this?

If there are any suggestions I will gladly take them

Here is a picture of my truck!

 

Sorry, but what you have now is better than what you are asking about. If you really want output, sell those headlights, and use the money you would have spent on the tails and 3rd brake light and put all that towards a set of properly retro-fitted projector headlights. A few guys on here make them and they are amazing.

 

^^^ X2.

OP - those are all Downgrades, not Upgrades.

After they start leaking, fogging and you get totally fed up with the horrible light output and beam pattern of those heads, you'll wish you'd listened.

Plus - that looks exceedingly Ricey. Is that your goal?


You can do the work yourself, if yer at all handy and so inclined...

Personal opinion here.
Your stock tails are better than those pictured. Euro anything should stay in Europe. JMO.
A better idea for the high mount would be led upgrade. And maybe paint part of the housing so it blends in a little more with the truck. Pic is a test i did with my old one that was cracked.

 

Yes you can do all the work yourself. I opened a set of Ford Focus headlights and painted the bezel black. Its not hard to do at all. Adjusting/mounting the projectors would be the hardest part of the job I would guess.

Black lights on a silver truck look AMAZING.

Also, I have those halo fog lights. I suggest getting the set from Spyder. Spec-d and winjet put really cheap halos in their lights.

 

Also, the projectors in the headlights ARE pretty bad. Fortunately TRS sells a kit so it's pretty much a quick swap over from these to top of the line projectors. I'm doing it myself this weekend.

 

I put the third brake light on my truck that you have listed and I love it. I've also received a ton of compliments from other truck guys who saw my truck before and after. I have a white 05 Super Cab. Also when the lights are not on they're black unlike the picture depicts. I think it looks good because it ties in my dark window tint.

 

NamedHerOksana I'm thinking about the same taillights you have except in chrome to match my third brake light. Does the small group of light below the reverse light flash for the brakes and turn signal as the main brake lights do or are they a steady burn? Thanks.

 

Unfortunately the bottom and side LEDs only turn on at night. But they're definitely the best looking tail lights I could find. Mine are chrome but the lens is smoked. Looks really good with the silver body colour.
