I was able to install it rather quickly. I followed a video installation guide. Overall finished product looks like a factory install
Super nice product and easy to customize. Has a very distinctive appearance and nothing else on the market is like it. I also have the turn/brake light bar under the tailgate and all work fine together.
The light bar fits very well and wasn’t too bad to install. Instructions were ok but a little difficult to follow at times(Programing) Over all, I like the looks of the bar and its visibility
Now I get asked what trim level my truck is all the time! Guess I’ve got no choice but to get a lift and tires next to finish the look. And I’m not gonna lie, the install was way easier than it looks… mostly because my wife read the instructions to me. I refuse to read those things myself lol
You already know this light is expensive. Moving on. My F150 isn’t a lower trim with red turn signals. Upper trims with LED rear lights have amber turn signals. The Excalibur light bar does not have amber turn signals. Chasing red lights into a flashing amber light isn’t the coolest look, but it doesn’t look horrible either. I think it should have both red and amber LEDs, but it doesn’t. That said I am still happy with the Excalibur light bar. Being plug and play it was easy to install. Programming it was pretty simple too.
I’ve gotten nothing but good compliments about the Excalibur. The lights are bright and vibrant, even in the sun.
Installed the Excalibur on my F‑150 last week, and it’s a total game‑changer. The reverse light is insanely bright and that startup animation is very slick it gets compliments all the time. Visually, it puts my truck a step above imo luxurious and rugged all at once. Worth every penny!
