HID/LED lights

I have a 2006 F350 and I'm looking to replace all exterior lights with LED or HID lamps for looks. I know RECON makes third brake light LED replacements and LED tailight replacements, so those two are covered. But, what about the front fog lights, the headlights, the cab lights up top, and the orange marker lights on the side mirrors? Any help form you guys will be much appreciated!!!

Raul @ StealthAutomotive has HID kits for fog and head lights, go to RECON for the LED cab lights, and I think the side markers on your mirrors are already LED...unless you want an excuse to buy some 08 Mirrors!

The mirror signals are LED from the factory. Recon makes smoked or clear replacements.

Also the Over Cab Lights you can just add a 194 LED amber bulb to them..you can find them at autozone or parts store.

Recon also has LED tails as well as EBAY.

I have McCollough Hid's in my headlights and foglights as well as all the LED's everywhere.

here are some pictures:

hope this helps

What are you guys doing for the front running lights/turn signals? I went all LED except the front turn signals because when I put in the LED bulb it flashed really fast like a bulb was out...I know it's because LED's pull low current...but when I had my old truck all I had to do to fix that problem was put in a heavy duty relay and it worked...but I changed like 3 relays on my 250 and theres another one somewhere under the dash that I can't find...any guidance?

Abrannan19,

So all those LEDs are McCollough LEDs? How do I get in contact with this dealer?
I love the look you have going on. It's real sharp. So those LED bulbs for the cab lights are 194 LED amber lights? Like a person at Autozone would know what I'm talking about?
