If you could get night pictures that'd be great.

I'm guessing you bought the smoked light, right? Did it come with a new seal? How bright is it?

Ya its the smoked one. I'll get some pics tonight. It came with really thick gasket but i still laid a bead of silicone down because i have my XM antenna going through it. Just extra insurance.
The lights look really bright as you are looking at them but they dont light up the bed very well. That doesn't really matter to me though because i have a tool box that casts a huge shadow in the bed from that light any ways.

I love the head unit. The way that the IPod works is that it shows like the screen of the ipod with the songs on it then you can scroll through them and pick which song you want.
Also the install was very easy. There are a ton of wires but its not all that bad. You have to find a place to mout the brain but after that its just plug and play. And a few other connections that have to be crimped on (power speakers etc).

Those are the tweeters that came with Infinitry Refence 6810cs kit. To mount them I made little brackets out of some scrap metal that I had lying around. Then i had to make the hole a litttle biggern then i just screwed it to the door panel.
I tried using the mounting pod things that came with the speakes but the tweeter hit the grill so i had to recess them a little more.

Can I ask about the head unit also? What additional parts did you need to install it, besides the unit itself? I'm looking at getting that unit also.

Your mods look great... btw.

Ya the quality is great this is my second Jensen head unit and I haven't had problems with either one. I really like all the features that this hu has over all the others and it was cheaper.
