Got some smoked headlights on the way. I have a bull bar, but it's chrome, lol. It came with the truck, but i took it off when i put the body lift on, and liked it better without.

Smoked lights are going to suck. Black housings with clear lenses perform so much better.

Sweet, can't wait to see some pics. Have you considered a black bull bar, maybe?

And as far as road noise they aren't bad which I'm sure you know, as they wear they'll probably get louder at least that's what I've read about most mts. I'm happy with them so far. Wish I would have went bigger though. They don't fill out like I wanted them to.

What size did you end up getting? I had 285s on there. They dug pretty good for me, almost too good. I buried the whole tire one time just being to stubborn and ignorant, but like you said I never took them threw anything real deep so I'll leave that test to you. haha

8000k HID's are retarded... You'll blind everybody with blue light. It's not even that bright, it's just blue and glares into oncoming traffic. Not to be a dick, but that's a horrible way to go. A very "bro" setup.

X2 I had 10000k and it was bright but just blue. I'm going to get 6000k ones. They are white

The only way to properly do HID's is a projector retrofit. If you do that with a good set of 5000k or 6000K bulbs you wouldn't have and issues with smoked lenses or blinding people since its a tight beam pattern.
