I didnt use them in the fogs, but i did use them in the turn signals and headlights. Way better than stock. I do get "flashed" occasionally at night when the roads are wet.

Thanks!!! 6000k lights? Did you notice a difference over stock? What did you do for fogs or did you just go with the bar instead?

Probably could all be contained in one thread.

Both threads were started by you or am I mistaken? Not trying to give you a hard time, but some guys on here will if you start multiple threads about basically the same subject.
Stick around, you'll get the hang of the forum.

I realized that was the link you attached after I sent that. Thought it was the large thread going around about lights. I'll take the old one down if I can so I don't upset anyone.

yes, 6000K color. The fog lights are stock. I covered them with laminex yellow film. The light bar is from KC, holy hell bright. So ive got plenty of bright white light. Eventually ill change the fogs to a yellow bulb.

Hess, can you give more detail on your conversion. From the picture it looks like you have 2 sets of headlight. What bulb did you put in for the turn signal? Do the still function as turn signals? Thanks

i believe he has the led turn signal from diode dynamics. they still turn amber when the signal is activated and should be still legal in most states because there is a reflector on the side of the light assembly

Yes the turn signals are white until you activate the turn signal then it flashes yellow. I got them from diode dynamics.

I have to stay away from these threads. They make me want to buy stuff for the truck when I know that I don't keep them forever!

I noticed you dropped your front plate to make room for your light bar. Did you end up using some type of bracket, or direct bolt to the front cowl?

I direct bolted. Had to put a little bend in the plate to make it fit.
