You'd have to ask Outlaw Raptor that question. I don't know if the F150 has the same setup in that area of the truck.

Ditto on this... since this mount comes up through the cowl area, the question then becomes, is the F150 cowl the same as the Raptor cowl....

Do the lights wash the hood when lit and reflect back at you?

My truck is white, I get no reflection from the black graphic, but there is some on the sides of the hood. It's not too bad because the whole area in front of the truck is bright. I am swapping out the Euro Beam lights with Spot Beam lights tomorrow.

I could have lived with the Euro Beams, but the Spots should have almost no reflection and a longer throw.

Here's a POV shot from inside the cab to show how much/little reflection there is from the hood. This was as close as I could get it, to what my eye truly saw, using several settings in the camera. Tuxedo Black, with hood graphic, HIDX Euro beam and absolutely filthy... this gives a better real world scenario for reflection when off road.

That's exactly how my Vision X Euro Beams looked from my cab. The brightest reflection actually comes from the EDGE of the hood closest to the driver. The top of the hood isn't too bad with the graphic.

I just swapped out my Euro's for Spot's and I'm waiting for it to get dark. I will post pictures so people can see the difference between Euro and Spot, as we both have the Raptor with hood graphics.

Is your truck Tuxedo Black? Mine is Oxford White.

Can't wait to see the difference, not only the difference in the lights, but also the difference between Tuxedo black(mine btw) and Oxford white.

Terrible picture! The lights are also pointed down too much and to the inside too much (need to adjust). I'm not sure if I like my old Euro beams or these new Spots?? What I see is more like your picture, but my iPhone camera shows the light as a hot spot.
