Hellas work good, but if you want to spend money KC or Lightforce. and for the HID part i would use something higher than 3k, like 5 or 6. i just like the yellow IMO

No doubt, most people have preferred the honeycomb grilles since we first seen them on the 97-03 model F-150's.

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.

Finally got some lights. I went to Walmart one day after work to pick up oil and filters for my truck and car and found some Hella 500s. I searched through all the boxes since they had red tags on them and found a box that rang up at $30. I found another box of Hella 500ff's that was marked at $25, went to checkout and it came up at $68 so I passed on those. I would have bought both sets for sure if the second one was also mismarked. Gotta love Walmart.
Got some angle iron from Home Depot on Friday and started cutting and drilling the mounting bar. I had some time over the weekend and yesterday to wire everything up. Thanks to Ak Cowboy and tg150 from f150online for their help with wiring the third switch wire.

Sorry for the crappy pics, I have a cheap camera that hates taking pictures of lights.

with halos, which are really white but appear blue due to the camera

with 5100K heads

All I have left to do is aim them the way I want them and mount the switch, because I just left it hanging by the parking brake pedal until I got everything working.
