OOpps, yea sorry, i was thinking you were the original poster of this thread. I never went anywhere last night, but may tonight so if I do, hopefully I can get some. But what bulbs do you plan on putting in. Mine are nokya Hyper Whites, and i cant remember if theyre 7500, or 8000 k. So either way theyre not very bright. But I think you would be very pleased with clear headlight housings. If you get the right light in there.

hey took some pictures tonight. some of them may not be so clear. I will post them here, and try to label which ones are what. They are all taken in the position as I was in the drivers seat. They may not look focused in the pictures, and i dont know if anyone can vouch for me on this one, but when youre actually in the drivers seat, you can actually see the two beams, and not just one big spot.

highway, no fogs

highway, with fogs

dirt roads no fogsw/fogs

this one here is just testing my new camera phone.

Great pics man, thank you! Wow, the fog lights really seem to make a huge difference. In my opinion you can never have too much light while driving at night (as long as it isn't obnoxious to oncoming traffic) so I may do the clear housings with more powerful bulbs, upgrade my stock foglight bulbs and add larger high output offroad lights wired into the high beams behind the grill like yours so not to take away from the asthetics of the truck too much. But unfortunately I think all my little 'mods' will have to wait until after the holidays...

lol yea, I know what you mean. And oh by the way, in those pics, the fogs behind the grille werent even on. those were factory fogs. After I get the clear foglight housing they should be even brighter I hope. And the ones behind the grille are too small. dont get me wrong they work, but I want some 6 inch KC or Piaas. Something with power.

Not the best picture, but the light is very focused.

we have different corners, that why mine were more. I could have gotten the ones you have, but I thought that those corners look cheep, so thats why I got these.

Yea, look on ebay, or LMC TRUCK Magazine. LMC they go for about 120, and ebay theyre about 70. I want them to match my headlights.

And I see what your saying TY, I do like your corners, but this guy on another forum was just giving them away, all I had to pay was shipping and I couldnt pass that up. And your picture was good too. I was going to take one off of a wall too, but never did. But now he can see best of both worlds.

I would keep the projector lamps and just put HID in them,better light output and less chance of getting pulled over.
