I can’t remember when you added the intercooler/bumper insert but it looks fantastic. So do the lights. At least for me, the fogs improve lighting within the existing coverage of the lows, but that’s about it. The heads are what really matters.
To this day I can’t fathom why Ford decided to downgrade the F150’s heads to reflectors after those fabulous projectors on the 12th gen. A well designed projector really goes a long way in light output even when it’s home to halogens.

Thank you! I'm with you on the heads, maybe one day Ford will make projectors across the board, just on a safety item at the least. The 13th Gen has the worst heads I've ever owned. On the '12, I had a set of retrofits that were fantastic, and thought of doing that on this truck as well, alas, I'm trying to limit this build.
Still have to get out after dark and do some aiming, and likely end up with either replacing the bulbs in the fogs with some DD LEDs, or using some of those Morimoto knockoffs like GrimReaper and OCMIKE.

Thank you guys. I was just looking around at stuff one day, and saw that on Stage3's website. Price was right, and I wanted something a bit different. Plans are to paint over the PutCo logo on it sometime soon.
Well it didn't seem like there were enough hours this weekend and I completely forgot about grabbing an updated pic of the fogs. Here is one when I first installed them but they needed to be aimed down a bit. The pic really doesn't do them justice either.

Thanks, looks much better than OEM for sure.
Plan on ordering some SL1's for the fogs today from DD. More costly than the knockoffs, but these are SL1's, so I know the lumens will be there, plus the color will match the heads.
Well, the tinted fogs I installed are way too dark tinted. My lo beams are SL1's, no complaints, give very nice light, but even with the same installed in the fogs, no dice.
Think I'll order some of the Morimoto knockoffs in a bit, and just take the bulbs in the fogs, and stick them in the hi beams. Disassembly, again!
