Does a bar count as ONE (1) light? If so just run 4 50" bars and the headlights
If they are close enough together they will all look like 1, right?! That's why like having the 20" with two functions (hybrid spot/driving). I've walked out in front of my truck with everything on, it looks like one beam. So I don't count anymore...

Hey now. Let me clear up the semantics issue. Forward facing white lights used for illumination!

Then you could run 4 bars and headlights? Hell I would run 6 bars no headlights haha
Some quick output shots of the new DOT Approved Fogs with OEM Projectors from Total Automotive Performance team member [MENTION=146349]goneFXcrazy[/MENTION]
Gives the truck a much wider light coverage area while still providing a DOT Compliant light cutoff. The range is also impressive, unlike standard reflector housings, the beam carries on nearly as far as the headlights depending on how you aim them. In these pictures they are aimed at the same level as the headlights but they should really be aimed a few inches lower for the real world.
As always PM/call/email us for our best deal but you'll have to act fast, these are FLYING off the shelf!
Did you ever get some pictures of the setup? I think many of us are curious to see
Sorry, yes I did. I've been super busy over the last couple of months re-integrating after deployment, and preparing to leave again soon that I forgot to upload them.
I seem to have misplaced them at the moment, but I'll hopefully take some better pictures tomorrow when the sun is out anyway. I have wired into 6 switches - 20 inch in the bumper, 30 inch behind the grill, "sasquatch lights" at the "A" pillar, led bed lights, and flush mounts in the rear bumper. I built all of my own jacketed harnesses to run to everything, and solder spliced the lights in.
I recently got another F150 and gave the one I did all the work on to my wife, so I get to do everything again. I'm tempted this time around to lay everything out, write down my measurements, and make it repeatable. I'll also add Deutsch connectors to make the lights removable. Then if someone else wants a kit I may be able to help people put something together.
Where can one buy these? Any recommendations for 96' F150 application?

Depends what youd like to do for lights. Roof bars are very popular, we also have a few front bumper light bar mounts. Let us know what your thinking and we can make it happen.
Ok, I finally got pictures again. The weather has decided to go back to being ****ty here in North Dakota so the quality isn't great, but it'll do.
I didn't get pictures of the rear lights, or the bed lights. If anyone wants those i can get them. Its just flush mounts cut into the bumper though, and an LED strip under the bed rails.
If I had it all to do over again, (and i do because this one belongs to the wife now) I'd get a few different sizes of split loom, and where the wires condense, build a bigger harness. I plan on doing pretty much the same thing, except the switch location since I've got a sunroof in the '13.
It made it fantastically easy. Once the terminals are hooked up to the battery, and the switches were installed everything was plug and play. The most difficult part was probably extending the wire harness and crimping the spade terminals on the ends of the wire. My crimp tool isn't exactly the best. Even that though, was very simple.
Something I should mention though, I also got the RCPM (remote control power module) from sPod. I got it because I wanted to be able to turn my lights on/off from outside of the vehicle if I'm camping or something. With the RCPM though, it made my wire harness the absolute perfect length to run into the cab, up the A-pillar and across the headliner to the switches. Had I not gotten it, the switch harness would have to be extended about 3-4 feet.
