I did install my fogs, there is a place to mount them above the foglights, very hard to drill into so I'd stick them on rather. I lost a ballast by not mounting good enough, I probably ran it over. Be careful how you mount, zip tie them to the brackets!
The mirrors, I took them off, painted and did a little custom LED work based off of Matt Fx4's, just added an LED. There are more pics in my gallery. I just updated it.

Josiah that's one hell of a truck you've got there nice work.
Sorry to jack this thread but can you please tell me how you guys wired up the ballasts. H13 (9008) isn'ty exactly plug and play it's plug and wire. I have a red power wire, black negative wire, is the installation staright forward?
Also get this, I got a HI-LOW HID kit which utilizes a small halogen bulb on the base of the HID. This option has two yellow wires, and a black neg wire. I need to know please how to hook it all up. Thanks. If there are any pics please post them.

You have to tap into the factory headlight plug for the ground and high/low signal. Other than that, all wiring, relays, and fuses were included.
The install is a piece of cake. Only pain is trying to mount the ballasts. A quick overview of the install goes like this.
1. Remove headlight housings. Remove the 3 10mm bolts and pull forward.
2. Take the new wiring harness from the HID kit and mount the relay box by the battery.
3. Connect the positive and negative to the battery.
4. String the headlight plugs to the appropriate sides. One will be much longer than the other. Coming off each headlight plugs will be a ground. I used existing grounds on the inner fender wells (green screws).
5. Mount the ballasts. I ziptied them to the inner fender well and used that to hold it while I screwed them down.
6. Plug in the connector from the main wiring harness to the ballast.
7. Now here comes the only splicing that will be needed. Locate the 3 prong plug (H4 plug) and your stock headlight plug. You will be splicing these together. I don't remember the colors off hand, but as you're looking at the back of the new plug, connect as follows:
Left wire to black (ground)
Top wire to grn/orange (low)
Right wire to grn/blk (high)
8. Now install the bulbs and finish connecting any existing wires.
9. Reinstall the headlamp housings.
Finally got the HIDs wokring thanks alot for your help. got an awesome place to moutn the ballasts. Right behind the headlights, for instance the right headlight take it out look to the right of the open area and see two bolts with large washers 13mm i think. Use the top one, although you will not be able to tighten bolt down all the way, it will stil remain secure and tight
