    Stick you a good quality Marine LED strip on the bottom and be happy. Will look a whole lot better and thats kinda universal. Have to agree with the others, those lights are the raptures signature. Second picture is my Dodge 3500 I've delivered those Raptures. Wont a fan of them then. ;(

    This whole site is pointless in that regard. Well, pointless unless you are JP Morgan Chase, then it's a fucking gold mine.

    Ford Raptor doesn't have a patent on running lights so you don't have to hate them just because Ford uses them, so does Mac, Peterbuilt, et al. Running lights increase visibility. If a headlight is out oncoming traffic can still tell you're not riding a motorcycle. I'm ambivalent, I wouldn't remove them if they were stock but if I added them it would be something more unique than the current fad. My personal thought is to use high output white leds with two output levels, one low current for DRL's and another on a separate switch that would rival light bar output. Incorporated into both the upper and lower grills neither in front nor behind them with DRL leds angling down from the hood creases to the bumper. I have a satoshi mod in progress using abs hex grill and if it works out then might have something to show.

    What the fuck are raptures and how the fuck does that led strip look "good" :bored:

    Edit: I like the "raptor" lights but I prefer the led dome light from oznium.com... Plenty brights, and don't stick out like a sore thumb
