Please be aware! If you are tempted to ask which brand or variant of a mod is best, don't be offended if most of your help comes from vendors and/or sponsors. Most truck owners don't methodically install, test, and then remove a long series of different brands of the same mod. This sometimes happens, but so rarely that you are unlikely to gain the attention of the two or three people in the world who are likely to have the applicable experience to provide a pertinent response to your question. If you manage to get in contact with such a truck owner, be prepared to receive a biased opinion. The only people of whom you may maintain a realistic expectation of intimate familiarity with more than one or two brands or versions of a mod are the vendors and/or sponsors. The only way to find out whether a vendor is biased or straight-shooting is to get to know them.

Mod Name: Clear Headlights for 1994-2003 F250/F350/F450/F550
Mod Difficulty: Medium to Hard
Tools Required:
Time to Perform:
Mod Description: The clear lens headlight assemblies from
2003-2007 F250 and up trucks will work with no modifications. The
clips on the back of the headlight assembly are supposed to slide
straight up to allow removal of the entire assembly. Some have found
that it is easier to remove the entire front fascia (grill, backing,
etc.) as the clips are sometimes difficult to remove. Another
suggestion is to remove both batteries to gain better access to the
back of the headlight assemblies and therefore the clips.
