Oh alrighty. So I would need to buy some projector headlights. Would you recommend buying some hids and projectors or just some halogens? Thanks

I would say projectors if you wanna spend a whole lot of money. Halogens if you just want better light output. I have projectors

I'm in the process of doing some retrofits, I have a couple spare heads waiting for a buyer, I'm currently doing mine for my fx4 and up next I have a 3500 dodge I have to do, I could build you a set much sooner than 2-3-4 months. PM if interested.


Also I will open a new thread sometime this weekend with some pics of my current build. Then you can decide for yourself if I'm worthy lol.

How do you remove the reflector from the 09-13 housing?
