Not a major project but still took some time just because I am fussy and tried to keep the electrical stuff clean and had to wrap some of the cords so they don’t get cut.

Fun little project. Pale compared to some of the other ones folks are doing here.
Pictures dont come up here in order due to diffrent file size.

The end result. Small lights but powerful as hell. Nice long wide bright as day beam. I can spot the hairs on skunks back with these. I'll have to get some night time shots those are impressive.

I still have to put in my projector headlights as well as that HID kit. I also have to put on a new passenger side mirror seeing as I broke it when trying to fold it back to get the truck out of my garage last nite. :fuming

Total Damage $400us for the lights and $200 us for a new power mirror.
Can I add heated mirrors to the truck? There is a fuse in the fuse box but I don’t have heat.

Night shots. Doesn’t make a big difference to the camera. To the eye's it does. I wonder how the HID system that boss has for its plows work seeing as the voltage drops, that can’t be good for the ballast.

1st picture with HID and low beams 2nd just low beam.
