    Dumbest thing anyone's said about your Raptor?

    This happens at gas stations when I am filling up - young guys in early 20s ask me "Whats an old guy like you doing with a truck like that" I have it because I can afford it and paid cash. They typically just give a surprised look and wonder off back to their vehicle.

    GEN 1 Puddle lights

    I replaced the bulb with a LED F150.com. Little work to get the lens off, but the website has a video to show you how to do it. What a big difference once you change them out, so much brighter. Hope this helps.
