Actually, I have the honeycomb grill in the lower section that I got from www.f150store.com for 28 bucks(it's still on just behind the horizontal grill). Is that were you got yours from? Perfect match and installs with clips in about 4 minutes
You're thinking of the Silverstar parking lights. The Stealth bulbs are silver coated, but glow amber when on. They're kind of like mirrored sunglasses. I finally got around to posting a few pictures in my "album". The last shot shows the effect pretty well. No amber look in the daytime. I'd like to get rid of the amber in the running light lenses too, but that's a whole new headlight housing, and right now I've got other things to spend money on. :sadface:

There are many sources for Stealth bulbs; here's one: http://autolumination.com/3157_3156.htm Look about 3/4 down the page for the 3156 or 3157 Silver Vision bulbs. These are dual- filament Parking/Turn Signal bulbs and they are 3157s. Their prices are good and they ship quickly. I've ordered some LEDs from them and have been happy.

I think I MAY have gotten the honeycomb lower grill from f150store. I know it didn't cost much and went on very easily. I don't think I had it installed when I took that picture. Guess I need to retake it, huh?
