What are some upgrades or Add-on done for the F-150 Lightning

[Gunnerbill]

I am interested in what upgrades folks have done with their "LIGHTNING". I have added a few things. I use my lightning as a daily work vehicle so purchased some decent seat cover from Amazon. And used also as a personal vehicle.
List of stuff I gotten:

• ARE camper shell (A.R.E. Model: Z2)
• Tinted 20% Ceramic Windows (Im in Las Vegas)
• Truck Line-X Premium Bed Spray Protection
• Train horns (Hornblaster's Train Custom Insane Conductor Version, it Has (x20) Horns) Insanely Loud!!!
• Ford Front LED Ford Emblem (Putco Brand)
• Amazon Special Seat Covers
• Husky weatherbeater floor mats set and bed liner mat
• Center Console organizer
• Decals and raised lettering
• Adjusted the center console spring so it would stay up and not fall on my arm any more.
• Rydonair Antenna Compatible with Ford F-150 2009-2023 / 13inches
• Ford OEM Mud Flaps (For the F-150 Lightning)

The next upgrade think of:

• Also going to make a Aux Battery disconnect switch. Though it hasn't been required to do yet, quite a bit of discussion lately on the necessity to disconnect the 12v battery to reboot the system and restore connectivity. It is a pain to to dig out a 10mm wrench if needed.https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JZ9NDH2/
• Want to do some kind of interior emotive lighting. The older F150 (2016-2018) had cool lighting in there cup holders, mine doesn't have it and it look dull....

As for my Air Horns, They are super cool and "VERY" loud. They are not meant for going cruising around a scaring people or going by golf courses and messing with golfer, but I do let the idiot drivers know that they f*@ked up. Of course they let me know I'm #1 by flipping me the bird

Are there instructions for this? I didn't realize I wanted to do it till you told me you did it. That thing is annoying at how easily it falls.

What did you use for the front bed lights?

Hell yah... I got tired of it falling on my arm. No, I just played around with it and placed a thick washer under the springs leg

I ran with these lights and used VHB tape to hold them on.

I ran my wiring to the cab side of the bed along the retention clips for the bedside caps.

And I cut and spliced them into the existing bed light harnesses with 12V connector harnesses so they can be disconnected if needed.

@
ctuan13, For the Retrofitted factory deleted ambient lighting and glove box light , How did you go about this, what did you do

Retrofitted factory deleted ambient lighting and glove box light

 

[ctuan13]

Okay so here's what you'll need to do:
- Get the custom plug and play retrofit harnesses from @JHForman812
- get the factory Ford lights with their attached wiring from ebay or a local Ford dealer
- once you have everything, disassemble the top of your center console, and remove the glovebox
- install the retrofit harness
- install the lights and connect them
- enjoy

Like I said you'll need to get the retrofit harnesses from @JHForman812 so contact him for those.

As far as the lights, you'll need the cupholder lights, the media tray lights and the glove box lights. I don't know if I have all the psrt numbers, but lemme see if I can link the appropriate thread.

Did you get an answer on this? Because I'm also curious.
