Default upgrading my XLT



Just added Fog Lights, Auto Headlamps, and Drilled and Slotted rotors. The next thing is waiting on my door keypad. Anyone know what Tailgate will fit this with the Ford oval in the center. I wanna add a backup camera but dont want it on plate.

I love that Ford has all the wires for these options already run in the truck.

Looks pretty sharp. I hear the output of those headlights aren't very good, do you concur?

99-07 superduty tailgates will fit.

Good call. Guess I should have looked closer. Not sure on the Supercrews.

supercrews have the narrower tailgate I believe like the flaresides so SD tailgates won't fit

That sucks, i really want a nice way to mount rear camera and the logo is the best looking way. Guess I have to use the plate mount. I wish they had a handle with the camera mount in it. Someone needs to make that!!!!!

No it's 08 and up but again won't fit a SCrew.

You'd mind if you saw how much better a set of real projectors does

Auto headlamps? As in Ford's light sensing deal or the headlights you have?

I'd be interested in learning how to get the autolamp feature. I've had it in all my cars until this one.
