New light set-up

Ok so I redid my lights and fogs and added another set of fogs. All are fitted with 10k HIDs. although I am still waiting for a set of bulbs for the factory fogs and a set of ballast for the fog lights on the bull bar. I will get more pics up when I get them all working. Also wanna say thanks to Raptor05121 for all the help and now to the pics I have so far:

The complaint is that he didn't do a projector retrofit so he is blinding every oncoming driver needlessly. He isn't likely gaining much in useable light out of the stock housings either, just a splotchy pattern with lots of glare for everyone else.

No he added that crossmember. And I would say that shouldn't affect airflow much at all.

I aimed the light to where they need to be and even had my wife drive by me to see if they glared in her car, which they didnt. I actually gained a whole lot of lighting with I was surprised with. I will get night pics up soon.
