I know many people are curious of whether this upgrade is worth it. It is very much worth the 15 dollars. I never saw pictures before of the difference so here are some wondering. The mosquitos were getting me so the pictures are slightly blurry. All pictures were taken with the same shutter speed of 1/4 I believe.Going to do the LED upgrade probably.

I can't recall off the top of my head how flat it is back there, but as long as you can get it to sit flush, it would look decent and work. Our trucks get power/ground using the mounting screws but there is a harness end that you can connect to it as well that a lot of T-birds and Taurus's had.....I might have a few laying around.:toothless

Put some LEDs in it and you'll really be amazed by the light output. I need to take a night shot of mine.

What is this light out of and where'd you get it? Lookin to redo the dome light in my 79.

They came stock in some 94-96 Broncos. I mainly find them in Taurus's and Sables. Along with the occasional 90's mustang, T-bird or windstar van.

There is black, two different shades of tan, blue, grey, a bluish/greenish, and the hard to find red.

The LED upgrade is bad ass. It really does a good job of lighting things up.
