Frequently Asked Questions About Ford F600-F700 Truck Driving Lights

What years and models of Ford F600-F700 trucks are these driving lights compatible with?

Most aftermarket driving lights in this category are designed to fit Ford F600 and F700 trucks from 1980 through 2003. However, compatibility can vary based on your specific truck configuration, especially if you have custom bumpers or grille guards. We recommend checking the product specifications for each light set or contacting our support team with your truck's year, model, and any modifications to ensure proper fitment.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your experience level. You'll need basic hand tools including wrenches, wire strippers, and a drill with metal bits for mounting brackets. Most driving light kits come with mounting hardware and wiring harnesses, but you may need additional wire, connectors, and a relay if not included. Some installations require drilling into the bumper or frame, so having a center punch and measuring tape ensures accurate placement.

What's the difference between halogen and LED driving lights for these trucks?

Halogen lights are more affordable upfront and produce a warm, yellowish light that cuts through fog well. LED lights cost more initially but offer 50,000+ hour lifespans, use less power, run cooler, and provide brighter white light with better distance visibility. For F600-F700 trucks used in commercial applications, LEDs often prove more cost-effective long-term due to reduced replacement needs and lower amp draw on your electrical system.

Will these driving lights work with my truck's existing electrical system?

Most F600-F700 trucks have adequate electrical capacity for driving lights, but it depends on your current setup and the lights you choose. Standard 55-100 watt halogen lights typically work fine with stock alternators. High-powered LED arrays or multiple light setups may require relay harnesses to prevent overloading switches and wiring. Always check the amp draw specifications and use appropriate gauge wiring and fuses for your installation.

What size and style driving lights work best for F600-F700 trucks?

Round 7-inch and rectangular 6x4-inch lights are the most popular sizes for F600-F700 trucks, as they match the scale of these medium-duty vehicles. For style, chrome housings complement older models while black housings suit newer trucks or those with blacked-out trim. Consider your primary use: spot pattern lights work best for long-distance highway driving, flood patterns excel for work sites and loading areas, and combination beam patterns offer versatility for mixed applications.
