Lights look awesome. My HIDs are putting out the crappy pattern. How did you turn the bulbs exactly in order to get a cleaner cutoff?

Yeah I gave $69.99 shipped to a friends door in New Mexico, and then flat rated them up to me. Now when you look, they are ~$150!!! :shrug:

But I got the corners in today as well! They are going to look awesome.

On my headlights the locks for the bulb on the rear aren't size specific so I just pulled it out, rotated the bulb to the next slot and twist locked it back in. I put the metal piece to the inside of both bulbs, towards the middle of the truck. Also, its not a perfect "clean" cutoff like if I had projectors but they are still awesome and dont blind oncoming traffic.

Man I am in LOVE with this new headlight setup. I CAN ACTUALLY SEE AT NIGHT! haha

Still waiting to put on the corners, but will do so soon.

And started gathering the parts for the SAS. Donor truck was picked up today. Stepping the build down JUST a bit to save some money for now, and then down the road I will start working on upgrading it.

Picked these up last night for the low cost of FREE! Rear shackle flip hangers.

Finally got around to getting the corners on! I have had that grill off like 15 times in the past 2 weeks. I could probably do it with my eyes closed!
