Awesome setup, OP!

I've got an idea for a potential improvement to this product:

As of now, there are limited options for fog lights on the Maverick, and though non-FX4 models can fit a previous generation F150 into the lower valance, FX4 owners are out of luck.

My idea would be to utilize the 'wasted' space of the old incandescent turn signal reflector bowl and either leave it chrome and swap a high output LED bulb, or to find an existing LED light bar that would fit the housing and fill in the unused space.

Here's a comically bad mockup, but you get the idea.

Switchback = thats what they call them when they are White when solid on.. but yellow when flashing (turn signal). I have some on my Mustang, but not as fancy as the ones in this thread :)

They look amazing Mr Broom, I have a question though, any chance we’ll get the lighted emblems too?

With enough money. Absolutely. For me to make them it isnt cost effective for most folks. I've reached out to a couple suppliers overseas to see if they have any interest on doing kvskd like the f150s

I have a few options headed my way and hoping to make something simple enough for folks to buy and DIY

2800 is robbery. No wonder why insurance rates are what they are. These POS plastic cars cost too much to fix, I mean replace parts.
$2,800 for a pair seems perfectly normal for an LED unit in a mainstream car these days. After a slow speed run in with a deer last December in our 2016 E-class with adaptive LEDs, one headlight had to be replaced and just the 1 was $3,600.

Not necessarily robbery unless folks pay out of pocket for them. aftermarket options, if ever offered will probably be half the cost but look very similar.
