- Its time to get the exterior of the lightning back together and boy did I kick it off with a BANG. Completely custom headlights, restored grilles, and much more to create the PERFECT 2nd gen lightning front end. Much more to come! Loving this truck!
Wanna send me something?

Be cool to see you 6 speed swap the lighting
This has crossed my mind. Who wants to see this? Lol
I was just thinking that.
Heck yeah do it!!!
@@ChrisSullivan69 the question is who doesn’t want to see that
Do it! Would be so perfect
At 27:48 Thank you for being considerate of people in cars by putting the correct headlights on your SVT truck.. I say that in all seriousness ... I could not tell you how many times I have been in a blind curve and passed someone with unfocused headlight beams refracting everywhere.. They wash out your headlights and blind you for a couple of seconds.. When you're traveling 45-50 mph in a blind curve and you're hit with a wall of blinding light and can't see for a couple of seconds, that's a scary feeling
That's looking sweet man 🤙🏻 you're really doing this lightning right, everything just like I'd go for
I did a similar retrofit to the headlights of my Alfa Romeo GT. Same black inside, same high beam signal from the factory wiring. Looks great, amazing light output.
Pain to get to the right adjustment though
Thanks! Appreciate the comment
With the talent time & effort put in the 69 was well worth the investment great project brother 🤘🏾🤘🏾
I've always been a fan of the Lightning and you by far have the best looking one I've seen. Very nice touch on the projectors too. Keep it up bro!
Much appreciated!
Last time i came this early, i didn't get a call back😐 sweet transformation. I retrofitted some projectors into my 00 Honda CBR929. The projector came from the headlights of a bus! I put HID kits in each one. They were so bright that ppl were adjusting their mirrors in the day at noon! 💪
Spot on with the vision Chris!!! Harley Davidson headlight look sets the aggression so much better! ( LMR are you watching, this needs to be developed!) Can wait to finally buy and do my Lightning build.
Thanks!
No words other than..AWESOME. That’s the way Ford should have made it back in the day.
That's the goal!
Agree bro
Wow, so much bling/sleek/awesomeness with the headlights and grilles that it almost makes the cowl induction hood look subtle and factory. That factory blue oval emblem is 🤌 well done!
🤌🤌
Ive built several sets of headlight like this too man...they are awesome! I built one for my motorcycle too. The single would turn night into day. I appreciate your videos!
Right on!
The Harley you mentioned, I have that SAME exact one in mint condition. Just loaded a brand new 5.4 into her. Your OCD videos inspire me to touch up the minor things that time has worn on mine. Keep up the great work. Loving this lightning series.
Awesome, love the harley trucks
Yea it’s been a dream truck of mine for quite some time now. Mainly keeping it stock except some minor upgrades. Highly debating adding the Cervinis hood to it. I feel it will give it a lot more character. I did do hangars/shackles to lower the rear. They sit up so high from the factory.
Beast mode the lighting looking good and official work
🤙🤙
I find the self deprecating humor, and comments about the birds, planes, and real world filming of the whole project. good stuff all around Chris
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching
Chris your are building one bad ass lighting brother 🏆💪🏿
The amber in headlights really makes it pop! Quality work as always! 💯🔥
Agreed. Love the amber
Best way to end the weekend, a chris Sullivan video
🤝
Looks awesome!
I personally think it looks a little funny with the silver housing fog lights though. Black out the housings to match the headlights and it will be perfect. But awesome work
Well done Chris!
97 Lariat Supercab. I also did a 2000 Lincoln Navigator console on the upper and lower. There was nothing on the upper so I had to engineer mounting which was not hard at all. I did that a few years ago and it came out awesome.
Headlights are on the agenda. Projection headlights are what I want to do as well. Looking at Morrimoto retro into a one piece housing for both the turn and headlight assembly. That will be an engineering feet as well.
Dude, awesome work and video! I think your explanation of what you’re doing like the products used when painting, the headlight install makes people feel like they can do it themselves.
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that has OCD when it comes to their vehicles and garage! When I detail my truck it includes the door jams and the motor compartment and I always blow my garage out then atleast once a week I spray it down, soap it up and squeegee the place out. What people don’t know is that what ever they track in on the bottom of their shoes either ends up on my carpet downstairs or my hardwood stair tread’s going up stairs! Drives me nuts!
Looking great. Worth the time painting the lenses and tailgate handle.
I think so too!
I wasn’t sure about the black headlights but it came out very clean. The orange from turn signal to headlight helps as well. Almost have to run the black wheels now right.
This thing sure is cleaning wayyyyy up.
Crazy work for this summer man. Way to get after it
Thanks man. Appreciate the comment
I could totally binge watch this channel. Chris, you got this UA-cam thing figured out!
Like the addition of the Lightning to the channel, I could be biased tho..😁
Thanks for the kind words man. Appreciate you watching!
Definitely as good as it gets on a 2g lightning front end, headlights look insanely good😮💨👌🏼 ( really the whole truck is as good as it gets💯…imho , killed it ✅ )
Thanks dawg!
Killing the details on the the lightning. Truck just keeps getting better and better 👌
It's all about the details. Thanks man!
Lord that front end looks tough. I think the silver wheels give it the perfect contrast. Good call on the headlights. That’s the look!
I dig the silver wheels more, but to each their own! truck is beautiful regardless of the wheel color.
I glad Chris is finally getting the subs he deserves, I hate car channels where they just use their youtube money to buy cars to show off or destroy for content.
Always wanted a lightning since the gen 2’s came out. Watching your videos is getting them juices flowing again!! You’re building that truck right. Awesome content!!
@@vchavez9223 thanks!
I’ve never noticed the difference in lightening and HD headlights until this video. It’s a nice touch to your lightening. You’ve got good taste in vehicles Chris.
Headlights, grill and whole look......seriously so sweet! gahhhh, well done man
Thanks a ton!
Looking good Chris. Definitely wanna see her with the black rims now. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but super curious to see what it would look like.
Same. Thanks for watching!
There's one thing we can count on in a Chris Sullivan video, we will be time traveling back and forth. Digging the videos man keep up the good work
Lol time travel is THE BEST
25:08 the headlights just hit me with the gmc safari van vibe at first 😂
The truck looks fantastic! You've done an amazing job. Those black rims are going to look stunning! I really enjoy watching your content. Thanks for another great video!
Great job,man.The truck looks great 👍
Great job! Truck looks phenomenal
Hell yeah man, I’m building a 2003 Harley f-150 right now. The supercharged one.
Love your videos man… glad to see the 10th gen f-150 get some love on YT.
Wasn't the non-supercharged ones only the earlier years?
(I thought all 03/04's were supercharged at least)
Love the content! There is nothing more I look forward to than a Chris Sullivan video on a Sunday Night! BTW if you ever do more plastic restoration like the grills and the tailgate handle you might want to look into Ammo NYC's Frame Pro Trim Coat. I have never personally used the trim coat but it seems to make a big difference on the cars he works on.
Looks incredible. The headlights look perfect. Amazing work on the projectors. Awesome to have black wheels for the option of the murdered out look too. Can't wait to see those bolted up. Great video
Looks sooo sweet!! Funny thing is it looks like a crown vic front end
I could see that lol
Super informative.. this is exactly what i needed to see. I’m gonna build a set of retrofit HIDs for my 10th gen F150 and this helped tremendously. Thanks so much!! 🔥 🔥
@@jordanjohnson5784 hell yeah!
Thanks Chris for another awesome video 👌🏾 I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Keep it up dude you truly talented ✝️
I appreciate that!
i remember swapping my cheap led bulbs with some good ones in my 2015 silverado with reflector headlights, the way the light output changed was crazy, way better cut off and light was actually aiming where is was suppose to be just by switching bulbs.
Top job as always, love the transformation. Love the glass black and paint matching, small details matter.👍
It's all about the details
frickin sweet truck man - I always wanted one of those - since you are so good with paint - I feel like the bed caps should be body matched, It'll look so good.
Another killer job Chris...also I think the raptor bed liner would look pretty clean 👌. Keep up the hard work and I'll keep watching
Absolutely stoked every time Chris makes an upload!
Another Great video....always like the notification of new vids on a Monday. Keep up the great work
Very slick Chris, love it man
Looks awesome Chris, I love the OEM+ Upgrade and Modification, looks absolutely stunning, Only thing I would change are the turn signal to switchbacks so it's an all white LEDs and it activates the orange with the turn signal, so when it's white it's like a DRL
I was surprised you didn't throw the projectors on the truck and confirm their rotation was correct before sealing them back up. Good choice on the projectors either way, I'm a huge fan of a good retrofit!
@@adamwaters9 i like to party
Love this truck so much! Consider the fast and furious door decal? The racer’s edge door decal from the movie just for fun. So nostalgic
been looking at some lightnings in my area and have been following this build closely. we have similar taste and am loving everything you are doing. i plan on keeping the bench seat though since i have a 4 year old. otherwise this build is perfect so far.
Amazing amazing work!!!! This makes me want a lightning so bad!
Just don't look at the coyote manual swapped with a Whipple 😂
I can't remember the trucks name but I seen it on fire era's channel, some guy is doing a coyote 10r AWD swapped frame up lightning build... THAT is going to be 🤤
Wow that truck is perfection and you put your own sweat and grind into it. The interior and the front end is how these trucks should have came from factory. Makes me want one. lol.
Thanks 👍
Stunning!! great great work man
you my friend are an artist
Thank you! Cheers!
That's a great improvement Chris, looks fantastic and functional👍
I think the lightning wheels in chrome would look great on that black paint
The truck and those lights are fire!!!! Gorgeous man !!!!!
The level of craftsmanship is inspiring. I can't, or haven't yet, do a fraction of the badd-ass shit that Chris does regularly, but at-least I'm washing my cars at another level. 👍
Love how the front is looking and you've given me an idea on what I should do with my XF falcon headlights
Cool to see led in projectors i personally have had terrible luck with hid lights so never got projectors might have to look into them again with leds
Tasteful mods. Truck is really coming together. Looks sick.
Appreciate that!
I DIG IT!!!! Truck is turning out AMAZING!!!
Looks great as always Sully.
Thanks man! Appreciate the comment
Straight up craftsmanship 👌🫡
What I like about your show is you take something good and make it great always awesome
Glad you enjoy it!
Love the videos man! Love the attention to detail you are and do it the right way! Keep it up brotha!
Thanks! Will do!
The lenses look great! You should have installed some DRL’s or Halos in the new headlights and fog lights
Your lightning turned out sweet! Great attention to detail Chris.
She looks good! Love the silver because makes the Lightning pop!
Damn Chris that front end is money now, wasn't sure about those head light redo, but WOW that is the look.
My opinion those black wheels will be the sick murdered out look would totally 🔥🔥
The level of oem+ on this truck is really unmatched. Love the content
Looking boxfresh Chris! 😎 gotta be up there with the mod that’s made the most difference aesthetically. Silver wheels ftw though, need a little contrast. Keep it up brother 👌
Saw it on instagram and rushed over to see if there was a video. Damn that is a clean machine. You have the ultimate Lightning now. Congrats man, you worked hard on it
Thanks!
Beautiful truck. Great video Chris.
Thanks 👍
It's become a real killer truck, I think having the Ford emblems and the rims in black gives it a simple and clean modern touch
Chris has great taste for OEM+ type modifications. Truck is looking awesome.
@@Barknuckles 🤙🤙
Truck looks AMAZING, Chris!! Keep the top shelf content coming!!
Thanks! Will do!
Killing it man. Good stuff as always
🤙🤙
Music was on point!Couple bangers in there
🤙🤙
Looks bad ass with the flat black housing and gloss black middle 😎
Love the gloss black Chris. Looks bad ass!
Great video Chris. Excited for more Mercedes content.
You and me both!
This looks so good Chris, matching the gloss black was definitely worth the effort!
Bro complete transformation you da man Chris 💙🫡
Those headlights look similar to the 2024 head lights. Well done. You may have the cleanest Lightning out there. Gotta go with the black rims!
Didn’t think the headlights would make that much of a difference, but it looks great!
Awesome work as always and great stylistic choices
Mission accomplished. Great build buddy.
Just like always another awesome video
Simple, I see a Chris Sullivan upload, I like and comment❤️
Appreciate you my man
Bro you definitely killed it! So crazy how your doing everything your self big motivation to finish mine up!
hard to beat, looks great
Thanks!
Total transformation. I believe i heard Lil Wayne say "This M'fer don't miss!!"
@@Nolepower In Wheezy we trust
Looks awesome buddy!!
Thanks 👍
That came out so damn sick! killer job
Great video! The front end is perfect now
Headlights look killer, I used to retrofit headlights for fun 😂
😅😅
