ipf's 968, they work great, i had a set on my f-250 but was too lazy to pull them when i scrapped it...

they are the clear set, not the amber fogs though

the mirror, i looked around for the best price online, i bought it from the link in post 56?

hopefully this week for it though, ABS, fog light mod (2 position 3 pole switch on it, so one position will be stock working, the other fog with hb's) remove rear mud flaps, torsion bars, if i can find someone who will do a cheap alignment after that, lift the rear, thinking shackles only, maybe blocks... i have to see what i am allowed to do (the dealership is being very sticky with the pt warranty) front skid plate is a maybe. winch... a chip is a definite, but that has to wait till after the warranty for sure, other than that' i'll have to see what comes up or i see on sale. i will probably end up putting some big lights on the front, i miss my old IPF lights i had on my f-250

oh, and for the ricer in me (what little there is, look at my vehicle history) i will be putting strobes in the lights, and possibly red led strobes in the rear window, (like police lights, but no blue, blue is too expensive of a ticket, red i believe is legal)

*edit*
where do you guys put the switches for everything you run? being i've got the double tall stock deck and all... i'm going to need a fairly large area by the time I am done, i want to put in the small, flatish, black rockers, possibly like these... my biggest thing at this point is keeping the truck looking professional done, not hokey some guy who just bought a new truck and wants to mod it (as is the case)


or like this, but i would want red led in it, and the problem is square holes are difficultish to cut

This is really simple get what i have which is a 4 channel wireless remote that i use for my fogs leds and strobes andstill i have an extar channel the remote works 50 feet away and the best thing is that you can hide the receiver way up in the dash its the easiest way to go at least thats what i did

EDIT: plus the unit is self powered so you can just plug in your black and red wirees and your all done for that mod as far as goes

Hey, I knew you had the STX Grille but I thought it was stock for our truck.
Any part numbers for the insert or maybe just sell it to me, cheap ?
