New driving lights!!!

Got some new driving light for x-mas and just got around to putting them in. I must say if anyone ever gets Hellas dont expect the instructions to help you must at all.

Me and my dad made some brackets out of some angel iron and some flat iron, u can see in the pics. But the are Hella 550 series. I think the pics do a better job explaining it than i can do but if any questions just ask.

I like that, a picture is worth a thousand words. My buddy has his eyes on my KC's I had on my Ranger. Soon as he comes off of some cash or finds me some lights for this truck, I think im gonna do the same thing. I kinda like these.
