Update:

Morimoto tail lights came in today and were immediately installed. I got to be honest, had my doubts about them, didn’t think they were all that.... but...... once I saw them at night....... WOW! To hell with OEM LEDs, these puppies are a beast!







Got some videos, I don’t think they do justice to how bright these tail lights are, will post once I figure out how to upload videos on here.

QUESTION:

I’m thinking about swapping my steering wheel for the raptor sw. Anyone know if I’ll be able to use paddles or they’ll just be for looks?

thanks,

Dexter

Done so far:
  • Dropstar Wheels 24x9.5 Gloss Black 25mm Offset
  • Tailgate Damper Kit (A must!!)
  • Locking bed cleats (meh!)
  • Storage box center console tray (helpful)
  • US American Flag decal (Hell yeah!!)
  • Bulb - Indicator illumination (Yes! Apparently 2018 was the year Ford decided to remove the PRNDM illumination, at least on the lower models, not sure about higher trims, it just bother me that i can't see it, I'm used to my other cars being illuminated).
  • Still Plates (nice touch!)
Still to come:
  • Morimoto headlights (pre-ordered)
  • Morimoto Taillights (ordered)
  • LED fog lights (ordered)
  • Tow mirrors (in the market)
  • CAI (still in the market for it, undecided, need HELP!!)
  • Short stubby antenna (ordered)
  • Mirror caps (paint or buy, undecided if keep stock mirror or upgrade to tow mirrors. Hard to find Ruby Red paint believe it or not)
  • Interior carbon fiber trim accent (in the market)
  • Grille replacement (Raptor, Roush or just OEM painted ruby red, undecided)
  • Husky all-weather floor mats (ordered)
  • sound upgrade (in the market)
  • Exhaust system (in the market)
  • Little tree air freshener (in the market)
  • Whatever else i can think of after!
where did you get the american flag? I wasnt able to find any that looked that good online.
