For anyone considering doing this process. It worked great on my 2017 f150. I did this exact process including distilled water, let dry in front of a fan overnight, and they turned out fantastic. 2 gallons of degreaser and 2 gallons of distilled water was more than enough to do all 3 lights.
Looks great! Purple power and super clean will do this as well for anyone curious. Keep in mind this may not work on every tail light/headlight depending on the manufacturer.
I like it a lot because it's a really good look and technically it's still legal. It still has the red reflectors and the factory color lights so there's really nothing you could get a ticket for. If you're really concerned about the brightness of the lights just switch them over to LED bulbs.
I think it looks great!! I've never heard of such lol. I definitely think this is a viable option. Loving the way the truck is looking. I think I would remove the FX4 emblem if it were mine. Once the blue ovals are addressed this thing will be perfect IMO.
This is awesome bro! I have a 2016 f150 5.0 and have been wanting to upgrade my headlights but cannot find a decent pair of tails to upgrade. This is a clean install man. I’m definitely doing the process this weekend. 🤙🏼
Just subbed, going back in your content is awesome. Morimoto just released some tail/3rd brake options, but I think I am going to try this on the tails instead.
probably gonna do this with my '23 f150 now, at first i was real skeptical lol but that looks really good for seemingly little hassle. thanks for the vid!
Looks amazing, but you Should do the LED canbus error turn signal bulbs and LED Brake lights and reverse lights, man over here 130k subs though let’s goo
Thinking of doing this to my 21 f150 still learning my trucks details so really taking what you have done into consideration for me to do!! Also looking into some black headlights as well. My truck is a dark gray (not sure exactly the name) and I think the black out look would be perfect!!
I had never heard of that before, but it turned out great. I already did a thin spray on tint on mine, so I probably won't do it to mine, but they're about the same darkness, just yours kept the factory shine. Definitely try out some cheap ones for context, you already have a view from me.
Just put LED bulbs in and you don't have to worry about "the reflectiveness." I just got a 2023 F-150 STX with the very same lights and I hate the chrome! I'm going to do this!
Nice. Thanks for this. Morimoto just came out with the new gen f150 taillights and same with alpharex. But i dont feel like forking out 600+ bucks. Can you share what the lights look like at night?
Mans turned into a scientist on us 😂

If you shake it more than 3 times, you are considered to be playing with it.

This is my favorite truck you've done
Sexy truck! I might sell my Silverado for a Ford. The new F 150's look so good
The ultimate blinker fluid lol. Looks great
Favorite truck by far that you have built
That looks absolutely incredible!! Never would have thought about this… may have to do this to my ‘18.
Keep up the great work!! LARRY!!
....
Nice never thought of doing it like this. Super clean degreaser also works to “de chrome” plastic headlight housing and tail light housings
Get the black f-150 decals for the tailgate. It would look so good

Then you didnt look at RECON
Looks great! I would probably paint the bulb sockets too. This way you don’t see the light gray from the light socket through the lenses.
Looks awesome, I'm definitely going to do this to my F150 this weekend now
...
Keep us posted! I’m excited to try this as well.
you should try it with the OEM halogen headlights you had before. just to see what they look like
Looks amazing!! I’ve been wanting to do this on my ‘21 since I got it 3 years ago!!

Man they turned out awesome. Looks way better.
....

The blacked out fx4 sticker would look sick
I did this on my 17 F150, then added Diode Dynamics red led bulbs and white leds for the reverse bulbs
I saw the truck the other day on my way to ohatchee and it looked awesome from the road as far as I could see.
Very clever. Does look great. Thanks for the video.
...
Plus you can just add led bulbs to make them brighter. I have Lasfit led front signal bulbs and they're substantially brighter

Also looking into some black headlights as well. My truck is a dark gray (not sure exactly the name) and I think the black out look would be perfect!!

Need some LEDs in those now to finish them off! Forscan will fix the hyper flashing turn signals.

Lasfit LED’s I run them in all my vehicles! Makes the biggest difference!
Looks great! You can swap to LED bulbs and change the look again......
Good ol' Zep Purple, accidently stripped chrome badges off a couple engine covers that way. Never thought to use it to do this though. Looks great!
Nice inexpensive mod. Looks great.
....
I use vht all the time...and just put led bulbs...works well.
Throw some LED bulbs in there, big difference.
...
Now you need LED bulds to make up for the reflective surface
Bro you’ve completely turned me into a ford guy lol
Dude thats sick
Looks good.....need to embossed the f150 on tailgate in black it will look great
Truck looks good need to take the sticker off the Box it would look better
...
Looks really good
What tire setup it that? Pretty cool didn't know you can do that to the lights
10 wides gives fords hella stance. Wish I got that much poke on my Silverado with ten wides.
Facts same thing on my sierra, mudflap delete helps
Like it looks good I don’t really blacked out lights but they look nice
...
I got black Ford Oval in black on EBay and the FX4 logo also
...
Get a all black fx4 logo it would look clean and you should try the spray raptor liner for the bed.
...
Looks really good. Any plans coming up for the Nissan hardbody? Excited to see where you go with it
Two bolts to hold the tail lights on but we better put four screws to hold the third brake light on. Engineering logic.
Looks so much better
Bleach works too and it doesn’t cost 54$ looks good btw
love watching the modifications to the trucks. can you do us something, get a microphone. it is hard to hear when you don't have the camera close
Love it keep up the grate work
Looks so good! Any issue with condensation or leaks since?
Dang man so much better than I expected! 🔥🔥
How's the 5.0 Compare to your old 6.2?
Looks fire
Nice. Thanks for this. Morimoto just came out with the new gen f150 taillights and same with alpharex. But i dont feel like forking out 600+ bucks. Can you share what the lights look like at night?
Keep up the good work 👍.
You need some Raptor running boards
....
gotta take them steps off and black out the f-150 on the tailgate and get some exhaust tipsssz
Have you thought of doing katskinz on this truck as opposed to the sportsman seat covers?(not that the interior looks all that bad stock)
Have you seen the taillights from Alpharex?
I got them and they are nice!
It works for the moment but over time who knows how the appearance will change I would just get new ones smoked or tinted
...
Interesting 🤔
Should get a black out fords badge
What sort of chemical magic removes all those badges/decals? ;)
Looks great, man.
Goo gone…. You are welcome
Just get the led tail lights to match the front
...
What if theyre a lariat or above and have the led strip around them? Still safe?
Someone figured this out on accident trying to clean mildew out of their taillight and they were stoked !!! Lol
Use compressed air to blow out the water 😏
What brand of tires you have on your truck?
The only bad thing is that they won’t be as bright anymore
LEDs will fix that
I’m confused on the blackout part? There red still?
Is it me or is you FX4 sticker on the drivers side canted?
I used to work for ford, Every bolt on fords are metric not standard. Becareful so you don’t strip out anything
I was skeptic at the start of the video
man i think it needs rocklight
It’s ok but not dark enough got luxs tail lights tint 5% on my ram
....
Can you do a tug test with the F150 and the Chevy Trailboss
This ain’t 2010 anymore what’s the point? 😂
Would this work for headlights too?
When is the hardbody getting the grapps stuffed under it? 💀
I hope you wore goggles while doing this bc I’m sure that’ll make you go blind if it got in your eye haha
dude what product do i use?
So how long did you let them soak? Does longer mean darker?
Sounds great
@@mikerouse2884 congrats man
What size wheels are those?
You need to get a diesel again
@Levi no kidding it’s freaking crazy
Can you swat the truck plz
Now remove the decals.
Fully support the mods, but pouring that stuff straight out into the ground is boo boo. Hopefully you took care of it properly off screen.
Didn't make it look any better not much you can do to them ugly trucks to make them look better
....
Why would you watch a video about an F150 then? Super weird
Really? Made absolutely no difference. What a waste
Cry about it
So when true duals @lmfscrew
