Review on 2004-2008 FORD F150 Headlight Assembly Replacement With Amber Reflector And Black Housing - OEDRO by Jeff Addison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

About as bright as Ford OEM DRL bars. Some wiring required for DRLs.

Direct fit for the light fixture, but since my model did not have DRLs, I had to add a fuse tap to a switched source (fuse 18 is a good one, room for the tap within the fuse box). You’ll Have to remove some cover panels over the radiator to run the wiring between the two sides and I highly suggest putting the wires inside tubing to protect from rubbing/shorting out). There are multiple rubber grommets in the F150 cab that you can run a wire through to get from the fuse panel to the engine bay. The negative leads were just too short to reach the nearest grounding points so I had to solder extensions and ground terminals on to those as well. If you just want to follow the enclosed directions and just tap into the parking light circuit that will be fine (and much easier) you’ll just have to turn on the parking lights to get the DRLs to illuminate. DRL Light set draws 0.8 Amps total so they shouldn’t overload your parking light fuse if you go that route)For brightness comparison; in the picture it’s next to a platinum F150 with OEM DRLs. They are as bright as the Ford LED DRL bars. I Added an additional bead of silicone around the edges of the lens to keep moisture out.UPDATE; silicone didnt adhere right when I sealed the assembly the first time and I had water get into right side light after a heavy rainstorm. Drilled a very small hole in lowest portion of the bottom of the lens housing to allow it to drain out. It’s been fine since even after weeks of heavy rain.
