your posts were probably pruned off in one of the inactive threads. the post count is realtime, and is not gonna keep track of posts that were pruned by the mods.

911ep makes the sweetest LED stick i've ever seen, and in different sizes.
http://www.911ep.com/ls15.html They are a little pricey but well worth it because of the patterns available in the lights. Whatever you do don't use traffic (rear) flashers with hide-a-way strobes, they wash eachother out. I would fill that nice deep Ford grille with lights galore!

just remember, that ford 6 needs that nice big grille to cool down. i mounted some halogens in my 96 and the damn temp went up 25 - 40 degrees in normal driving.
