Hey I appreciate all the kind words! I wanted to say that the truck should be completely done on friday of next week. I will post a picture of the front end just so you can see the truck with the black grill. Now things that will be different, the over head LED bar will be wired, also the upper front mounted bar will be replaced with a brighter, and higher quality light. Also I had to orger different fog lights so they will be added also. Though I will have some professional pictures taken when its done. I also will get some interior pics this week so you can see what I did there.

Upgrade the headlight with square morimoto mini d2s projectors with Osram CBI bulbs and denso ballasts .You won't regret it and make night driving much much easier without blinding people .

Here the links I bought my kit from ...

To be honest i installed some ballast 55w led headlights and the are reduculas. I wouldn't go back to hid's at all! Brighter, no warm up, and easier to install.

What about oncoming traffic glare , am asking because the truck is lifted and the light beam would blind the small car driver.
That's the reason I go with projectors . good light and safer with uniform light beam .
