How about some clear corners or Lightning headlights with corners? Maybe paint the mirrors to match the truck?

Five0Merc- How much were the lights and how difficult was install with the lights?

Nikko-Clear corners are on the list, i hate the orange, really kind of throws off the truck. and painting mirrors would be nice addition too, how do i match paint?

Tarajerame-hahaha yeah id love all of those, but the funds are kind of low as of now. Maybe later on though.

ditch the 10,000K hids. you'd get better light output with flashlights strapped to your hood

I don't remember the cost, but they weren't too bad. I just took a piece of steel and ran it from the radiator support( I think that's what it is). Top and bottom and drilled a whole in it for the lights to mount. I will try to get pictures up in the morning when I get off work. It was pretty easy.

Here's some quick pictures I took for you. If you want anymore just let me know. I used sheetmetal screws to attach the brackets. I chose to mount them like this that way they are to something solid. I need to adjust them a little bit still.



I don't want to cover your thread with all the pics so here is the link to the rest.

Ahh I can't remember what I paid for the lights. I got them for Christmas like 3 years ago. But I just had the steel laying around in the garage. It comes with all the wiring. Pretty easy install. I Think they were under $50 though.
