The stock photo you posted from GadGAB shows a light, but that isn't included. However, it is super simple to install a light, be it signal or merely a marker. I posted a thread on how to install a turn signal light under the housing.

The plastic plate on top of the shock tower gave access with only a single body screw removed. Getting washers and nylon nuts started from below was challenging.
I'll probably only mount the relays with 2 or 3 bolts, depending how much trouble they are when I go back to attach more lights.
My plan is to drill a hole under the switches, run the wires through the console and through the firewall at the oval plug above the brake pedal. I'll run one wire to get the length, then pull the oval plug and wire to measure out the 10 other wires, cover it up with cable wrap and pull all the wires through at once, going behind the shock tower and fender.
I'll leave enough wire to rotate the relays forward to wire it. Hopefully I can get it done without it looking like a rats nest.

That workbench shot... That's the stuff! 
Nothing like a well worn bench.

Swaging the terminals on to the wires is a learned thing. After 10 tries I got much better. Wonder if a pro tool would make a difference. Too much wire, I'll have to remove one foot panel and pull it through another time. It's cold tonight!
Hoping to get relay box done this weekend.
2015-2017 F150 fog lights are in the mail. I think I can cut them down creating a finished lip to cover up the edge of a square opening I'll cut out and drop the light into from the front.

If the lenses get damaged it should be easy to source parts and change them out. Complete light pairs with the housing shrouds are only $60. A single light is $25.

I'll use 10 gauge wire to handle 18 amps if I put in 100 watt bulbs. That may be too bright, though. 42w and 55w are also available for the H10 bulb.
