Awesome!

How are the dodge tows working for ya? I'm really considering these again

theyre a bit bouncy but the view is great. not that that was directed towards me. if you put some end link bushins between the mirror and door it helps tighten it up a bit.

I had forgotten you have them. The only thing stopping me is that mine looks stockish so I'm not sure how it'd look. and I don't really want to chop up a $300 pair of mirrors lmao

I only mounted that one up for fitting. Once I get the SAS in I might try again. I went back to the CalVus.

I loved them on the SAS cummins swap RCSS. But my truck just doesnt have enough height and width to pull em off. Maybe after this SAS I will pop it back on and see.

Alright so I finally got 2 of 3 boxes from Kyle, which had my clear headlights and parking lights, but still waiting on the smaller box with the corners, which is lost in this government shutdown! And also my new HIDs showed up. I did end up going with 55w just for simple reason that its almost winter in Alaska. Which means alot more dark. Plus people up here don't really have the "courtesy" with headlights like most other places. So why should I?!

But here they are:

Headlights (with glare caps! That helps with the 55w HIDs!)

And what the clear corners WILL look like when they get here!

The HID kit was awesome. It came with heavy duty slim METAL ballasts, not the cheapo plastic ones. AND it came with 3M tape, zip ties, AND a mounting bracket.

This is how I mounted it on the pass side, tucked in by the battery. (Note: the battery is pulled out and scooted over for the pic)

The Parking lights came with stickers over the holes to keep dirt out, and I made the mistake of poking it out and it went inside. Took me 1/2 hr to get that damn sticker back out.

With the parking lights in:

Note the AWESOME glare cap in these... Cuts the glare down and the pattern of these housings is AMAZING due to this. The caps take the main center light, reflect it back onto the housings and then puts it out evenly.

Parking Lights look AWESOME as well... Although I might paint match the rim that is silver to red so it will blend better

Before I adjusted them (I turned the bulb and got a clean cutoff across the top.)

But compare that... to this, CRAP

Just a quick vid to show the cutoff when in front of the lights. The camera obviously exaggerates how bright it is though.
