    What lights are all you guys running on your trucks? I'm looking into getting some 6" ones for behind my grill and eventually want to swap the bulbs out for hids. Would a driving light be good if I put in a 3K hid kit for foul weather driving or am I better off with a good fog light? Let me know your thoughts and opinions.
    BTW, here's a pic of my truck with the honeycomb grill I'll be using.

    I'm running the honeycomb grill right now. For one it looks better and two it opens the possibility of having lights behind the grill, which I've always wanted.

    So are you guys running Hella driving lights or fog lights?

    Agreed! Just hit the VatoZone and get in the zone. There's no reason to spend big money on lights that are behind your grille. :waytogo:

    Depends on what bodystyle F150 we're talking about. On the 04-08's I can go either way. I actually like the bar grille for the 04-08's equally as much as the honeycomb grilles. Now in the 97-03's I prefer the honeycomb grille if you're not using a billet or anything other then stock. When I bought my truck I was looking for a honeycomb grille, but the lot I was at didn't have any available on the color truck I wanted. I didn't let it stop me from buying my truck because I figured I'd throw a billet grille on it anyway. Matter of fact I put my billet grille on about 2 weeks after I bought my truck because I couldn't stand looking at the bar grille anymore. :jester:
