I picked up an autozone stubby antenna. They had about 5 options ranging from metal ones that looked stock but were 16"($7.99), to 4" black billet($12.99). I had the 4" on my '14 and after a year paint started peeling.

went with the 7" black rubber one this time same price but it's a little taller and is flexible vs the billet.

First time ever posting on these forums (besides intro), so sorry if I screw something up..

Spent $11 on plasti dip, and did the f150 badges and wheels. Came out better than I thought it would.

Looking good, I have almost exactly the same truck. I love the colour. Do you have a closer pic of the F150 emblem?

Be careful, you are going from 35 watt to 55 watt.

The mods to the new bulbs were done almost effortlessly with a knife and small file for the tab inside the electrical connector and a dremel tool with a small pointed grinder wheel for the stainless steel and plastic locking tabs. Re-aimed my headlights and wow...the difference is incredible!! I replaced one of the fog bulbs with one of the take off 9005 bulbs, then checked the temp with a non-contact thermometer just out of curiosity, the 9005 bulb was running about 120 degrees hotter than the oem fog bulb after about 5 min. This mod is definitely worth your time for what you get out of it. total cost of the bulbs delivered to my door in 2 days was $43.

If you guys want actual usable light from your fogs, get these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3SHL-9005-44...MAAOSwyvBV9kHU

I have had these in for 6 months and they are great! I run the yellow filters (2 sets come with the bulbs and I used both sets for a really yellow color). I can post pics if needed.
