I understand how I came across like that and I should have explained better but I was talking about doing the one on the bottom without the he two at the top and just the pod and the led headlight on the bottom.
The first picture is there so someone with experience with this kind of modification could see it and give their opinion. I wasn't wanting the projector on the bottom just the 6 inch bar and a regular headlight bulb if it would fit I understand the projector and pod wouldn't fit but was hoping the bar and regular light would

You might get lucky if you stuffed 2 pods side by side or one in a top corner and one in the bottom corner. I really hope you realize the size difference between all the other lights you've posted and the size of the 97-03 f150 style lights. Just buy a pod, and hold it up to your headlights and take a pic.
clearly there

I understand I cant fit both a pod and a projector which is why I said I don't want a projector just a 2-3 inch pod and a regular led headlight. Or would I come out better just doing a projector and putting a pod on each side like this. This is on my buddy's jeer but he made them for himself and said he would make me a set if I wanted one.

I have retrofits and two rigid duallys in the fog holes. I have enough light to light up a city block and that's not an exaggeration. You don't need 300 LEDs all over the place to be bright.
One more thing, you are getting really good and experienced advice in here. If you continue to argue with these guys when they are trying to help, you will **** people off and they will stop helping.

If you wanted real output you would do HID retrofits. Putting an LED pod in your headlight is just plain stupid. It WILL NOT fit with any other type of bulb whether it be a projector or anything else, our lights are too small.

I understand but keep in mind I'm only 17 and I have the mind and wants of a typical teenager. I don't want to come across as argumentative or uneducate on this topic I just have a different way of thinking then yall. I never thought about doing hid. is there a certain brand of hid bulbs to go with

For the HIDs, the only way to get better output than stock is to do a projector retrofit. The basic pieces and HID kit can be had for a very good price. Do some research on this subject I don't have all day to explain it all.
As for your other thread on LED brands. I have Rigid Duallys that are only $200 for the set and I would be willing to bet they throw light farther and are brighter than a cheap LED bar.
Those cheap brands will collect moisture, fail and end up costing twice as much when you replace them. Rigid has a great warranty and have served me well for 3 years, I've even had them underwater many times. They are very easy to mount using the factory brackets for the fog lights.
