Yeah they're LEDs.

reg442, just paint the boards you have already like the Limited edition boards are painted. The only problem is you're going to have to sand them smooth.

expedition, im giving it one more week then i will paint them. i would rather have the beige boards thou. also i bought a whole center console today with pistol grip shifter and cable and i am going to try and make it fit.. i only paid 150 bucks for the whole thing, tan too. i will have to relocate my seat controls and advan trac button but i think it will be worth it. has anyone tried to get the console and shifter in from an 07 expy yet before i start taking it apart?

The 07+ will fit all you need is bumper, grille, headlights, and hood. I was going to do it but when I saw the prices of hoods I didn't want to do it no more.

The center console mod seems like it'll be easy. Just look up the diagrams from the 03-06 Navigators to make it work. Also search on the f150 sites many with the 04-08 have done the conversion.

I picked them up tonight. They are brand new in the box. 1.8" drop in the front and 1.6" drop in the rear. Heavy box too, weighs 75lbs.

I hate to ask what you paid too...

i haven't had a chance to install the mirrors or lights.. and my lowering kit still isnt here. the center console switch i'm going to start on thursday, i will have a bolt by bolt rundown on the switch over. and i'm running out of $$$ money fast, so if anyone is interested in a factory set of fx4 20's with good tires let me know..

@ rpt00 i paid 300.00 bucs shipped from ohio to pittsburgh, what makes it so bad i got them from a wheel distributor that i deal with everyday and they still made me pay retail...

these are from today in the rain with a cell phone (poor pics) these are some before pics and the main project will be that console, which i will take apart on thursday.and hope to have it all back together before saturday when i go to ohio.. i have hid's installed already top and bottom 6000k
