it's a shame the 7w cree bulb that I show below did not fit into the hella housing... I could make it fit but requires time and more money so I was happy to seal the deal with the 5w cree bulb.

Here's the night shot with the 5w ...extremely bright ,I'm very pleased with this mod ...I will return the red 7w bulbs and install these on my cargo lights

and then I put some more of those t15 5w silver cree bulbs on my cargo light housing, here's a night shot of the cargo lights ...I must note this night shot was using flash thus taking some of the brightness away.

Looking good bud!!! I'm saving for a DVD headunit!! Hope all is well.. I love the reverse lights. how much those run you? Might have to swap mine out for those. They look brighter than mine and I must say my tinted windows make backing up a challenge at night. Take it easy!

Hey Joshg,

I picked it up at TascaParts.com and it is a Lariat Grille but will fit any 04-08 F150. The kit comes with the chrome grille and chrome surround so it makes for a super easy swap.

Part Number is 7L3Z8200BA. ~ $285 bucks

I must say I did modify the logo to the stock size logo vs. the smaller logo as I didn't like the horizontal bars ending by the logo. One word of advice is to make sure you put the mounting plates on before putting on the surround. A buddy of mine made that mistake and it wasn't easy getting the surround back off again.. That was the reason I bought this kit in the first place.

everything going well my friend, let me know when you install that dvd unit, the bulbs can be found on ebay for 32.00 a pair extremely powerful leds i must observe... just don't get the 7 watts 'cause they are too big for the hella tails... bottom line just get 4 of the 5 w type.

Next in line is nfab nerf bars ,I wil be picking them up at 4wheel parts these coming week hopefully.

Holy crap man... Your guys trucks are looking sexy!!!!! I just did a face lift... and led turnsignal ..tail..brake light...... The LED turn signals dont pull enough juice and makes them flash like a mad man..

I just replaced the whole front end... tow mirrors.. And changed up the wheel and tire combo a bit...

Head lights...Grill..bumper pad...bumper (my truck was an XL no fogs.. So i got the oem with fog holes) ...And i got the FX2 lower valence.... I coated my bumper with undercoating..




Tow mirrors

that's what I call a face lift for real!!... can you post more pictures of your front bumper?...the glare was messing up the pictures... good job Kyle .

I've got an xl too and I've been entertaining the idea of a bumper with holes and tow hooks and then some linex over the bumpers.
