LOL, yeah I knew I'd hear something about it being on the dr site

Thanks for the compliment

I'll have to get around to updating my gallery here tomorrow when I go to the office (have dsl at the office.....dial-up here at the house)

Been driving the work/plow truck around and keeping the SD in the shop to keep it out of the road salt.....looked like crap a week ago from all the salt.

Hmmm... Well, my posts don't reflect the amount of time I've been here, I guess. November, '99 here! Does that qualify me as an "old-timer"?!?!?!?!?

Not from the old bunch, *****, but had to put with them - and still do...

Thought you done R U N N O F T... Glad to see you're still breathing.

Welcome home...

(Sort of reminds me of that song - I'll Be Home for Christmas) Now I'm all teary-eyed... Maybe somebody will come along wanting Trucknutz from Santy...like they did last year about this time so I don't slobber on my keys and such...

Thanks.

Fairly easy to retrofit the '05-06 headlamps. Basically just need to take your time and cut the header panel, which is fiberglass, (we used a rotozip) to get the headlamp assembly to full sit back against the fender and look stock. Then to supply juice to the 9008 bulbs in the 05-06 bulbs I used the heavy duty plug and play harness offered by Black Cloud Diesel. And I put Silverstar 3157 bulbs in the parking lamp/turn signals.
The bottom of the headlamp assembly is secured using the same screws in the same location as the 99-04 corner lenses did. For the top we just ran a screw throught the top tab of the headlamp assembly into the header panel.
