    wrong.

    ever be in a position that a pool party goes too long with far too much alcohol? leading someone to the taxi out front by their nipple rings is quite effective!

    otherwise, they're purely decorative. rumors exist that their purpose was once to lure mates close enough to ensnare them within the rings for long enough to procreate, though most theologians agree we've moved past that type of basic ritual, and now prefer far more complex methods of ensuring that no one is compatible with anyone via online dating.

    technically, this truck does all of those same things. it definitely adds visibility, and the owner likes it. i hope you can get over yourself and appreciate his modifications as well.

    Clowns only get upset when someone calls them a clown. Why is that? Not sayin your a Miami Brodozer but for fuck sakes why you gotta be a copycat? And don’t say they’re not Raptor lights. Just cuz it’s been a couple years and everyone’s got em don’t make them not Raptor lights. It is what it is. If that tickles your britches rock those little lights in your grill. 13 year old tweeners will give you plenty of praise.

    Im just teasin btw. You do you there’s nothing wrong with that. Taco on friends

    If you want to look like you own a ford just pull over to the side of the road, get out and walk back and forth yelling into your phone.

    They are better then the under car glow lights, or the wheel well colored lights. Or those terrible jeep colored headlights. The Christmas light people are just weird.

    I was really considering putting raptor lights on my stock 2016 but i just don't think i can handle being judged on the internet for it.
    Maybe i'll just make some spinners out of paper plates and rock those.

    Good morning TW.

    Went out to dinner with my wife after my post and see all the replies since. (Post# 108)

    Yes, "Raptor Lights" belong on a Ford...what happens if we change the name to "Grill Lights?"

    Will that make a difference?

    Probably not.

    I see lots of trucks here in the TriState Area with changes I wouldn't make on my truck...I laugh to myself...and that's it.

    As long as it's your truck and you paid (or are making payments) for it - do what you want with it. Express yourself and let that freak flag fly baby. Put all the Raptor Grill Clearance Marker Accent Lights on there that you want. Always going to be someone to love it and someone to hate it - you aren't here for their happiness you are here for yours.

    Personally I'd never do it. But then I'm a Function over Form kinda guy. I'll take a stock rig and keep it stock until I have a problem to solve. Nothing I do is purely for aesthetics. Gotta be at least 80/20 Function / Form.

    Having said that, I do truly appreciate the nice looking mods people have done to their truck that serve absolutely no purpose. I'll enjoy your mods on your truck for the beauty and my truck for the functionality.
