Not hard took about 15 minutes to install, luckily on the heritage F150 everything for bolting and wiring is within reach. The only thing I had to do was remove lenses, but you have to do that to replace regular bulbs anyways. However because I didn't have the tool my wiring is exposed for now, but when I get the chance I will hide wiring and remove overflo coolant tank so I can hide the install completely. I also swiped my Stealth bulbs from the '06 to install on the Lightning for now. A second set is on the way, but I bought from an ebayer who likes to sell stuff he doesn't have in stock yet.

Oh, and the problem I had with aiming was I didn't put the passengers side all the way in....oops

Ya, and it didn't make sense carrying a spare that doesn't clear the brakes. What was ford smoking on that one?:smk:
