Here's mine. I blacked out all the rear lights and wheels. I also tinted all the marker lights and did the grill with black plastic dip. Next up is blacked out retrofits, window tint and getting the wheel flairs, hood, roof, tailgate and bedside graffix done in satin black. c0dc60656d4c669eeac20f2dc3c1b299.jpg1b3ead92051820e34bc8eea93de1cce3.jpg58d4f2ca1ba4609451494ad5c8165529.jpgab403e75f28fe3a4eeb28044621116db.jpg0a062b16f0c800f35ed146ac62affed6.jpg

I'm thinking about blacking my tail lights out. Did you tint your stock ones?

I bought mine from a guy in Palm Springs area that either takes yours and sprays them or sells new lights that he has sprayed. Since our lights are the same as other 150's (or fx4's), they are pretty affordable.

I just bought a new set that he sprayed. It's been about a year and they've held up perfectly and couldn't be happier with them. PM me if you want more info and I'll dig up his website and all his info.

Here a link: F150 - Ford Found the dudes website @Mluis11. I sent in my 3rd brake light because he said they were pretty expensive to buy new since they are raptor exclusives. I also made sure he sprayed the fx4 black edged style tail lights too so that they were extra dark.

Yes I just cleaned them with paint prep then sprayed two light coats of VHT Nightshades. Then I used a satin clearcoat over it so they don't fade. For a total of $11 I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. They look like they would be too dark but when the parking lights are on they shine thru with no issues. If you do it you HAVE to clear coat it though. On my last truck I didn't and in six months they faded to a grey color. Lol.

Mluis11, what did you use or do to get the F150, Raptor and Ford logo done on the tailgate? Looks good and thanks.

Customtrucksolutions.com is where I purchased my ford emblem. I think you're looking @cbcgeneral 's pictures. I think he used a vinyl inlay for the f150 and raptor logo.8a249a4b91cbfee98734fb71748d4165.jpg
