Keep it and take care of it. It's a nice looking truck. I have a 97 4.2L V6 back since 2001 since I was 19. 89k miles. Currently working on it because I had it sitting for a long time.
Great video! Really well done with good camera work and information. Getting ready to order these for mine and I think I’ll try LED bulbs. Good looking truck! Some of the best vehicles on the road IMO.
LED bulbs would really set these off even better! They will project a much brighter and whiter light. But they definitely look great! I'm gonna order some for mine.
As great as the Depo fog lights look, they simply do not last. If you use them for more than just a short burst here and there, the housings around the bulb will melt. It has happened to many of us who bought these lights. If you click on the amazon link to these fogs in the description of this video, look at the amazon reviews. Multiple pictures of those who had heat/melting issues. I've included photos as well. Its unfortunate because I've had many Depo products in the past and they are still holding up to this day. These lights didn't hold up to that standard. I'm not trying to bash Depo or dissuade anyone from buying them, but be forewarned that yours will melt eventually too. Really bummed because these are, by far, the best looking after market headlight for the 99-03 F150/99-02 Expedition.
Thanks fornyour video i have 2003 f150 single cab short bed 4x4 in exelent condition with 25k miles i was planing on doing a fog light update since it dont come with it but i had a few doubts on looks your video just convinced me
@@AutoDetour thanks bro people like you taking the time to post a video convince people like me. My truck is a 1 owner garaged keped truck super clean i will post a video of it soon and send you link. Thanks for replying 👍🏽
I Love These F-150s! (I Call Them 10th Gens) My Dad And I Like To Count To See How Much Are On The Road, And We Saw 45 Of These Trucks! This Shows That They Are Reliable, And Useful! 97-03) I Drive An Old 99 F-150 That Was My Grandpas Truck, And Its Incredible! I Just Love How Sharp It Looks, And How It Reminds Me Of My Grandpa! (Its An Old White Lariat) Story: In 2001, My Grandpa Bought This Pickup Used For About 17k Miles I Think? It Was From A Gal They New That First Got It, But Traded It Off For A New One After A Year, And Eventually He Bought The Bug Shield For It, And The Steps This Old Ford Was Very Useful, But It Had Those Spark Plug Problems.. I Heard It Before When It First Started After 6 Years- And Its Pretty Bad 0-0’ In 2015, It Sat Till 2021 Due To That Problem, Then It Was Back In Service After 6 Long Years Of Sitting! it Also Had To Get To The Shop 7 Times To Fix Its Problems Such As: Fuel Injectors, Rear Differential, Ac, And The Rest Were For Oil Changes! Triton Engines Are Great! I Don’t Care What They Say! 4.2, 4.6, 5.4, 6.8, You Can’t Kill An Old Ford!
think commented on your head lamps, ,, I feel stupid now bro, ,, before order fog's, my wouldn't work, so changed bulbs first, and now know, gotta pull headlight switch, for fog's LOL,,, "live n learn", ordering fog's too !!! thx again, ,,, I kinda like seeing rd, at night ! not to mention, look's 10 yrs newer !!!
Young Man, that looks nice, I now would take them fender F-150 emblems off and replace them with F-150 LED light emblems, your choice of color, or u can get multi color leds if u wish. Thanks for sharing this with me.👌✌️👍👍👍 More please 👌
I haven't had that issue yet, but I haven't driven it a ton since installing them because it sat in the garage for the turbo install. I've heard that you can avoid the melting issue by using LED bulbs.
I did the same upgrade to mine a short while back. My only disappointment is that these fog lights shoot straight ahead unlike the original fog lamps which shoot on a wider angle so sadly I’m going back to the factory fog lamps.
I have a 1999 F-150 without factory fog lights, do you know if it would be possible to get a fog light front valance, fog lights, a harness and headlight switch meant for fog lights, and install them to factory spec?
U should be able to. My truck did not have them neither the harness was already there wired up to the switcg I just added the valance foglights and the switch would make it work. I tried several times to get the switch off with no success.
Wow big improvement on looks.. Shame that the whole of the light output of the lamp is not being used due to the cut off.. Maybe that's why Euro lights are more expensive.. I hate to think what replacing the self levelling steer into the corner headlamps on my Audi are going to cost if the lens clouds over beyond cleaning.. Love the clips
I was hoping to see a wall shot of the output of the new fog lamps vs stock. Good looks don't matter much if they're worse at putting the light where it needs to go, you know?
What size screw are those? I’m installing these on my 2003 and the truck didn’t have fog lights already in it so I’m having to use new screws but I can’t figure out what size they are.
May I ask why you didn't go with amber colored fog lights, which I thought was the point, to cut through fog, or does the clear work better, was Amber fog lights just from my generation? (I graduated high school in 82' haha!)
So I own a 2002 f150 king ranch 5.4l. And the fog lights can only be turned on when you have the headlights turned on. Which defeats the purpose of "fog lights" so I just use them as secondary "headlights"
I just installed a bumper on my 01 with fog lights and tow hooks, but my truck didn’t come stock with those so I have to figure out the hardware... looks like the bolts r the same kind that hold the valance, but what do the fog lights bolt on to? I was gonna go to ace hardware and buy nuts and bolts but it’s a difficult spot to use those. What comes on the bumpers from stock that hold the bolts in place? Does anyone know?
hey Ryan ! Made a lengthy comment on the headlight mod page..Good video ! About the clear fog light / stock fog light mounting , do those bolts screw into those threaded metal clips or the square stove nut type that has a clip around it to hold it in a hole ? As I have no existing fog lights I am wondering ..... as I had to buy the valance w/ the fog light cutouts and just got my clear fog lights from UPS today ...... Dan
I'm not quite sure of the difference in the 2 nuts you're talking about, but I would say it sounds like the second one you described. There is a flange with three holes in it, and it uses 3 flat, U-shaped clips with threads on the back side. You slide the clips over the flange to line it up with the hole and you just thread the bolts in from the top side. I hope that makes sense.
@@AutoDetour Perfect sense ! That's the first type i was talking about . The second type are square , old style "Stove bolt" nuts, you see them a lot pre-hex head or still on Kid's old style wagons. The particular ones i was referring to are the square nut and they have a sort of sheet metal frame that makes them click into a square hole. I have not seen to many things these days with those . Hey ! there is a video somewhere on youtube where the guy made sheet metal splash guards for our lights made of aluminum, to protect from splashing the back...a good mod ! I'll see if I can find it again!
me again Bro !! but thx,,, now that did same head,corner N fog light's. on my 2003 F150, ,, also added Phillips ZXE xenon filled on both, cause closest to HID without HID !! N see better at night !! same 9007 bulbs on my 1999 Mercury Sable, n went true HID,, great few month's, !! then burned pin in on off switch, in dash, so back 9007 ZXE !! next best !! and every 2-3 month's, Nu Finish on lenses, keep's from oxidize again, 4-5 yrs on sable now , same type after market lenses, N no Oxidation, cause treat with Nu Finish !! sealed lamp/Bulb's were real glass , just wash !! but plastic need's UV protection !!! appreciate a few of your other vid's too,,, come visit East !! I got Motorcraft plug's and Ignition coil's !!! u can do another 100 thou mile tune up, to be sure your viewers see :) LOL, !! all need left to do !! 108 thou miles , thx again !!
Before you do, get on Amazon and read about LED's. There's some kind of voltage issue where some LED manufacturers are recommending you install some electrical gizmo. I kind of scared me away. lol
