    OK so I'm not a big fan of what i used for my light housing.Any idea's from whoever would be awesome.I want it to blend in better and look as stock as possible.I was thinking a dull black plastic strip ply-able enuf to go around my grill cut.

    The best idea's and the one i go with will get pay pal $10.00(Yes i am serious all)

    Seeing how i tried photo bucket and image shack.Anybody feel free to make it bigger so its easily seen better

    that the best I can do with still be able to see it

    I think they should have be more spread apart but what about making a shroud that start at the grill and goes back to the lights behind your grill
    Kinda of like the Fog light buckets for the Round Fogs on the 06 and newer F150s

    just an idea and kindsa cheap but have you tried finding a PVC pipe that would fit around your lights then just paint them to match you grill. i did the same when i madw a bumper for a friend but i used steel pipe.

    Sorry guys i worded my thread wrong.I meant the grill itself where i cut it to get the lights in it.As most can see i used shinny 5/8ths rubber housing to cover up the cut grill edges.I would like to put something else around those edged and get it to look stock.Hope all that made sence,lol

    I cannot locate black playable plastic strips anywhere so need more idea's guys.Again,sorry for how i worded it

    you didn't word it wrong, take the PVC pipe cut it to the thinkness of the grill, then sand edges smooth and use JB weld or something close to that to bond with the grill, then paint it all to match

    use a black PVC(ABS?) butterfly valve flange. slide that baby right in there and use it as a escutcheon plate

    or, use the rubber weather strip that comes in all sizes up to like the garage door strip.
