Yeah, I can't wait -- checked USPS and they are arriving tomorrow.

Now to decide if I want to switch my HID bulbs from 43k to 6k.

I got the puddle lights today and I'm done--I must say they were worth the money!

I bought them from http://www.daytimebrightlites.com/ for $129; you send your original puddle lights back and he credits you the core price. It was definitely worth the money and time.

Congratulations!  Nice job.

Well s***, I wish you hadn't of showed me that site.  I was going to do my own puddles but I'm far to lazy.  I've gone to order the led's a few times then thought "ugh, I gotta get my wallet and type all this info in?  Maybe tomorrow!"

I have LED's to replace my driving led's from some asian site but I have to open the factory housing and I'm so much of a perfectionist I'm worried about messing it up a little so I haven't tried it at all.

I applaud Storm for having provided the link to where you (and others) can simply purchase the puddle lamp LED's all nicely installed & what not, however, at $129 I nearly aspirated the alcohol I was downing at the time I read that.

This mod is fairly easy to tackle on your own.

I wrote a detailed, step by step "How-To" on the LED Puddle Lamp Mod a few years back as I was one of the 1st one's to have tackled the project at that time.

All model years are the same as far as those puddle lamps go, therefore, nothing's changed.

Go search up the "How-To" in the How-To Section(s) and you can comfortably accomplish this mod for 1/16th of the price these are selling for.

Geezuz, I should do these for forums peeps and make a lil mod $$$ on the side there so easy to do :doh:

Can I play this game?

I swapped out all my interior lights like you guys, did the puddle lamps, license plate, 3rd brake light on my f150. I liked the look but I am never satisfied, haha...

I decided bedlights are a must,  I have my firefighting gear in there all the time and always going in and out of my linegear getting supplies or adding stuff.  At night it sucks and you cant see anything.  Found some LED ribbon online and some other parts I already had and boom!



But I need more right???

I decided to upgrade the lights on the front of the truck for in the winter and hauling our snowmobile trailer through the mountains.  I wanted more light to see way out in front as we have had close calls with wildlife and such.. so decided on taking a set of rigid dually offroad lights and swapping them into the foglight housings.  These foglights at 4 lights on each side will throw more light than my headlights haha... I aim these down pretty good not to blind oncoming traffic and although legal limit for forward facing lights is like 1200 lumens these are pretty illegal but still safe while driving because of the angle.  Have amber colored covers and it is killer setup for winter driving:



So once you get a little more light you want a LOT more light right?  So that's where I got the idea of mounting a light bar behind the grill.  So if 8 lights in a flood pattern are good, 3 LED's in a spot pattern should be even better right?  :o

So fit this:


Here:



And to show some output of what 10 times the legal limit is:

Mind you that is with the high powered fogs on as well as my brights.  So much light it just washes them out.

I can light up the road signs at over a mile and about 1/4 mile of blinding super white LED light.  I am pretty careful using this either offroading or on roads that are completely clear of traffic, I don't want to burn someones shadow into their leather haha.
