What did u do to your raptor today?

If you are installing Hood mounts Jim and doing this by yourself, you must remove the hood struts before you loosen/remove the hood bolts. Otherwise, the hood will shift and it's a MFer to align it back up again.

I just removed my Hella Supertones a few weeks ago. They are louder than stock, but have a certain "importy" pitch that I grew to hate.

Had one of my techs do the install and I was the hood holding guy. Went pretty well, a few quick texts to Joseph @HAYNES OFFROAD and we were back in action.

The HELLA are loud as hell, but that tone may or may not grow on me. I'm not ready for on-board air and train horns yet, but if/when I do, the stock horns will go back on.

Try these. The two horns together sound goooooooood.

P/S cooler may get in the way/harm airflow once I decide to install it.

What's the thought on them burning out quicker?

My though? They'll burn out quicker. But, I love the look, so it's a risk vs. reward thing to me with the reward being greater. I have so rarely had a light burn out in a vehicle, so it's low risk likely. I've got an F250 from 2001 with 220k and haven't had a light burn out (except the rear cab bed illumination white light).

That's what I thought. I considered it, but I see a lot of threads or posts of folks replacing burned out LEDs, so I'm not going to worry about doing it at this time. But, it does look badass!

No night driving and saves gas in stealth mode. That's pretty remarkable, with that said it seems most factory bulbs are like super bulbs.

I couldn't help myself. Bought this from @raptorEmbroidery. Was hoping for a red SVT logo., but this one is growing on me.
