Pics of Lighting Setups

I went with a LightBar, 4 Morimoto big banger whites on the top (2 spot, 2 flood) and 2 Morimoto 2 banger amber fogs down low The Big Bnager have an amber backlight that I tied in with the amber lowers, does help with cutting through the fog and snow.
The white are insanely bright.

I went with a Heretic 20" light bar in amber. The standard brackets that came with the light were a very close fit to attach it to the main bumper bolts. I just needed to cut the ends of the brackets off to make them slotted and then had to trim some plastic for it all to work.

@DMK got any video or pics of the light output at night with this setup? Considering it, apart from cutting the two crossbars I like it for the simplicity and that the supplied hardware fits the truck with minor modifications.

I am looking at this exact setup, both the lights and the light bar. Would you be willing to reach out to me with some specific questions?

I came from the Gen1 and Gen2 raptor world... Do you see any problems with covering up that spot on an ecoboost? I heard nightmare stories where the airflow is necessary and to cover it up doesn't do any good..?

FWIW, fust speaking from what I saw others fail at not knowing.

I have not seen issues. Lots of people on this forum running this or something similar on an eco. I think the biggest difference is the shutter design for this generation. The way the shutters are programmed is for fuel efficiency so they are almost always closed. When using 3” lights in this location there is still plenty of room around the lights for air flow.

Diode Dynamic brackets, have run the lights for about 6 months now, will be going to a big banger or LP6 shortly for more output. Also either adding ditch lights or the ones in the lower opening tbd.
 
I had a Rigid 20" E-Series Pro lying around, so I mounted that to see how I liked it. It's pretty good. It is the spot/Driving combo, and it lights things up very well. I am still contemplating four Morimoto Big Banger Combos, two white and two amber, in place of the Rigid bar. I did order a Diode Dynamics fog light bracket for the 2021+ F150s and installed two sets of Morimoto 4 Bangers - both are fog lenses. The white works with the factory fog switch using an adapter from Starkey, and the amber is connected to my Switch Pro 9100. I really like that particular setup.

Holy smokes!! Who makes it and how does it mount? Wind noise?
Little bit of wind noise. But I haven't got in on 70+ highways yet. Evil manufacturing makes the rack. To mount it you drill 12 holes in your roof and use rivetnuts to bolt it in.
 
Crappy pic, but no lights at all on my street but the light bar, just as an example. Also video for reference of headlights compared to the bar.

Just wanted to throw in my lighting setup. Yes, those are fancy, expensive zip ties holding the lights in. Yes, some of the LEDs are blocked. Yes, this is ACAP (as cheap as possible...) The lights are also inexpensive Nilight lights from Amazon. No complaints so far on these inexpensive lights and I've had them installed/using them for at least 2-3 years.

We focus a lot on forward lighting, but I think it's important (especially in my line of work) to be able to see to the sides. On the ambulance we had my flashlight when the scene lights were too bright or not working, but it's always nice to have light on the sides. It's not subtle, but it is effective.

This is the setup with the side/scene lights on. Testing proof of concept with all lights working.
