I would be willing to purchase a pair if you do.

I'll post what the final outcome is. By the end of tomorrow I should have a 3d cad model of it made.

I thought about that but I thought it'd be fun to try to make them. If I get the F150 put on them I'll be sending them to Keldermans to get cut. They're only about twenty minutes away from me......I should be able to have these made and powdercoated there for around 15 to 20 dollars a piece.

Incredible! Even with your markup, those would be a heck of a deal. Now, would you consider building a bracket for those raptor lights for a 07 grille? Trying to copy yours but having no luck finding a bracket.

Fog lights showed up today and I got the hood mount brackets designed. No trimming required with these mounts. Hopefully I can get them made by next week.

the slit in the bracket may not be necessary, as the plastic on the hood interferes with the initial slope up thats underneath the mounting tabs. If you need mounted pics, PM me and ill get your number and text you a bunch of pictures of them mounted.

How are you liking the JW Speakers? So far I love mine. They put out almost as much light as the Rigid DOT/SAE fogs. I have them relayed/on demand. They come on when I hit the high beams and the JWs go off. Or I can have all four on at once...

Well I've only had them on since noon today and went for about a 10 minute drive with them tonight and so far they work pretty good. Not near as bright as the rigid d2 driving that I had there before but still put out plenty of light and are legal. Once I get the rigids mounted I'm going to see if I can run those with my high beams. I also have a stack of other LEDs that I am going to try to put somewhere.
