Wasn't really sure where to post a pic so I thought this would be a good spot. Just got my front windows tinted and added a strip to the top of the windshield. Looks better in my opinion.

Its actually a little lighter than what it looks like in this picture. You can see the difference better in this one. I thought about going darker, but this is the legal limit and I don't want there to be an issue with the police. I am sure they probably wouldn't have done anything, but why take the chance?

That's a very clean looking Expy.

But u should get some Ford F150 Lighting headlights from eBay.

I think I paid $60 and they transformed the look of the car.

+1 on the Lightning headlights

What percent did u do the fronts? Seems like 35%

I did 20% front and 35% back and they all match in darkness during the day but I can't see squat out the back at night, 50% windshield helps so much when driving with the sun in your eye.

Ps. It's a very clean truck you got, I like them most when they're as clean as can be in stock form.

I have the Lightning style headlights as well. Big improvement over the faded factory light housings.

Got a pic of the lightning headlights on the vehicle? And is that something relatively easy to change out? As far as the tint % goes...The backs were already done when i got the truck. I assumed they were factory done....i could be wrong about that though. Anyway, the fronts are 35%.

Headlights are super easy to change out. its literally a couple of tabs to pull and corner light is one screw. I bought mine on eBay for $60 over a year ago.

I couldn't locate the lightning lights on ebay, but I just ordered them from 1A Auto for $78 with free shipping. Should look great. Thanks for the photos. I really like it. I am sure it makes a difference in light output as well.

I found other lights, but not the lightning lights in that price range. I will say i was putting in "1999 ford expedition headlights". Maybe I was trying to narrow it down too far?

What about fog lights? Do they make them to match the lightning headlights?

I like the look much better. The only thing I don't like is that I can see the orange bulb in the turn signal clear as day. Would be nice of it wasn't so noticeable.

Either I'm old (Gen X) or just a huge nerd, or maybe a little of both, but I like the stock lights when new looking. They remind me of the old glass headlights that used to be on cars back in the caveman days.

Any other vehicle I love the crystal clears.
