LOL, I'll likely just have time for the tails, but so far, they look like they're gonna be pretty close to what I originally wanted.
The fogs are gonna take a bit more work, I've got the entire assembly, that is the black plastic trim piece, and the lights themselves are premounted. I plan on removing the front tires if need be to get room to work. Some trial and error it seems, the truck isn't going anywhere anyway, so I'm just gonna take my time. I'll get some photos up when I get it finished.

I'm curious to see if you'll have room to squeeze them in place with the crash bars there. You may have to pull the front bumper...

If thats the case, I would try replacing just the fog light itself into the black housing currently on the truck.

You two are a glimmer of sunshine! We'll see how it works out. Just at a quick glance the other day, it looked like everything could be done rather easily, you two are scaring me!!!

Naw, taking off the bumper is easy, I had mine mostly off to level up the slight frown it had.

Mine has the slight frown as well. I even picked up that HF shim kit when I was downstate the other day. This may be just the time totake care of that too.

I need to fix my frown. Lol. I couldn't find the washers I needed at Home Depot last time, maybe Tractor Supply would be better.

This is what I picked up, maybe you could order a kit?

Ah, that's cheap. I'll just run by HF after work today or tomorrow morning after the range. Thanks! I could probably avoid pulling the whole bumper off too.
