Got these raptor style lights from Stage3. Pretty easy to install. Not really impressed as the lights are behind the grill. Wish there was an option for them to be outside the grill to be more visible. Not bad though for the stock grill :)

Hey Trevor, I thought of that too because I hate cleaning my wheels. Then I thought about how much easier it would be than keeping the wheels clean on this…it was a company car with a logo on it so I had to keep it clean - ugh! Had to use a paint brush.

Iā€˜ve seen a few posts about using ceramic coatings or Graphene detail spray on wheels - I might give that a try on my Ranger’s wheels.

I initially ceramic coated my wheels. I touch them up every few months with graphene. I think it helps keep them clean or at least easier to clean.

Yeah Duke, I haven't tried Ceramic or graphene on wheels. As much as I dislike cleaning aluminum wheels or in the past, hubcaps!, I dislike dirty wheels and tires even more. My dad once chastised me for cleaning them all the time and I joked " the wheels are the eyes to a car's soul"....
My wife got me this Meguiars for Christmas and I've used it already, it turns purple as it works, but I still scrub with a sponge. A wheel brush may be easier, so...perhaps a trip to Wallyworld is in order...
I 303 detailed her Escape today, and Pepper looked angry, so maybe tomorrow it's her turn.
