It is slightly adjustable however I'm pretty sure it would be easy as hell even how mine is set, it mounts above the license plate. It does have a limited swivel but u could do wonders with a couple custom shims.

I have pretty bright headlights stock from what I can tell, so the lights behind the grill only improved vision slightly. Infact, when u switch them on the only change u see is that it fattens the front end light output vertically improving vision above and below stock headlight beam.
Again, my lights are mounted behind the grill also hindering their usefulness but increasing the style factor.
If by chance you have different headlights from me. ( I have really clear chrome style, maybe Harley?) the pilots would probably help out a lot more. I have seen many f150s with dim, yellowish, not so clear headlights.
The reverse lights I installed however WERE a tremendous help using rear views to back up. Then I installed the backup camera with night vision, and that works amazing, kind of over shadowing what I did with the reverse lights.
Hope this helps.

On a side note,
I arrived in chesapeake Virginia yesterday. I'm here until dec 16th. I will be taking pictures of random trucks I find down here. I have to be honest, coming from Maine I was not expecting to see this many lifted trucks. I've already seen at least a dozen crazy trucks, and at least two jacked f-series trucks jacked way up with solid axles. However I have seen no use for trucks this big down here other than running over lines of traffic at the 5 min stoplights. Never have I seen lights take so long. It's bulldookie!
I'm done flaming

Great thread & truck! Going from Maine driving to Norfolk is quite a change. I lived in a few city's over the years, never again. My town has no stop lights, a pizza shop and 6 churches.

I've actually had a blast here. Lots of bars and everything you could ever need. And if u want country, just head 30 mins out to north Carolina. I'm having a lot more fun than expected, but I can't wait to get home and finish my truck. I do have a few pics of fords I've seen here, unfortunately the ones I want to get pics of are always driving by, solid axle monster trucks! I'll upload what I've got in a few. Hopeful I'll catch some I em parked
