Just bought 2 pairs of these to replace my vanity mirrors. The mirrors actually have f30-whp bulbs in it, but since that is 12VDC, then this festoon should fit in and work properly. Seeing as it is only 1mm larger, there should be no problem.

Yup, my brother has an 2004 F350 turbo diesel with a 6.5" lift and 36s, but he has a kit sitting in the garage (same situations as you and me) for a 10" lift and he'll be putting on 38s.
One kid in Maple shade has a F450 turbo diesel dually with a 12.5" lift and 42" tires. He bought the lift kit from Brian Dawkins. The wheels are off of a tractor trailer.

Hahahaha pure insanity lol I'm trying to convince my dad to lift his '98 F350 XLT Crew Cab. He said he would do it if I'm willing to pay for the kit lol that quickly shut me up

Nope. They are 31"s though, they would rub slightly if I flexed. That may be why it looks so big.

So I got my shirts I ordered, they look great. Anyone interested in cheap but high quality shirts contact teesrusmail@gmail.com he will make the transaction over ebay.

I also put my LEDs in my visors and my HVAC, they both look great and the vanity mirrors are very bright and efficient.

I won tail lights on ebay for $46.08 shipped. They are the same ones as I previously posted. Also, they are brand new; I beasted that auction. Heres a picture as a refresher:

Also, I went ahead and changed my oil, oil filter, and greased up everything today. It's been an efficient day.

Pretty much done. The only things in the interior that don't have the lights swapped are the door buttons; but I don't think that I'm going to be doing them.

Put the tail lights on and took a picture of a vanity mirror.

you mean all lights on or what?
Here's what I have done:
Both Dome Lights
Both Map Lights
Both Kicker Panels
Both Vanity Mirrors
Gauge Cluster
HVAC Lights
Transfer Case Light
4wd Transfer Case Light

I don't feel like opening up the door to figure out the door lights, but if someone takes a picture, that would be nice.

Also as an update, I put on all new lug nuts as they were starting to rust.
I found a nail in one of my tires so I pulled that out and repaired that.
I ordered all new tail lights after one bulb blew. They will now all be LED.
I am going to be ordering two new shirts (I made the designs)

No, I have a friend that sells them to me for quite cheap and very high quality.
