Just the odometer control buttons. And thanks, wish I could have gotten the backup camera finished but another project for another day.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's on all lariats. It's a cool dash but I'm kind of partial to the fx4 dashes.

Those are the buttons controlling the info center (MPG, dist to empty, etc), and the slots are where a sensor lives for the auto climate control. Creature comforts on the Lariat.

Here is a pic of the Ebay Projector headlights I bought.

Spec D 2004-2008 Ford F150 Dual Halo LED Projector Headlights Black +H1 Slim HID Kit


A night pic with them off



Lights on, kinda hard to get a good opinion because of the glare, still gotta do the aim adjustment



Overall, I am pretty happy with them, the instructions suck but, I connected the halos and lower LEDs from the heads to the running light harness, and the HID bulbs and Highs to my main headlight harness high and low beam wires. Installation really only took about an hour or so once I realized I needed to figure it out instead of looking at their crappy instructions provided that had me running the halos to the main headlight harness.

I always wondered why those slots were there. Ha. You learn something every day! Thanks.

Learn something new everyday. I have never been a fan of LED headlights due to the fact that you may see more light but it is less usable light due to less contrast. Same reason fog lights are better in the fog than high beams. Which ppl still havent figured out as of friday night when I drove home getting blinded and having to flash ppl the entire trip.

Yes, it is a BOSSCAM22 made by Boss. 4 months now and no issues.

Well, I didn't actually do anything to my truck. Yet...

I ordered a ADD lite bumper, a 20" KC C series light bar, 2 KC flexes, some POR 15 because I found another part of my truck rotting away, and 20 feet of matte black vinyl wrap to do my rocker panels and rear bumper and hopefully hide some rust with it.
