Hoping to get at it today if the weather cooperates - I also think I am no longer going to need this home-made heavy duty harness I made for my headlights (described in thread here) because Tony's "kit" comes with a Morimoto HD light harness with relays and wiring that are specific for the HID projectors. Apparently the high beam on an HID projector is just a flapper that allows more light to pass through the lens with the same bulb, so it is wired a little bit differently. So if you are interested in that wiring let me know and I can send it up. You'll have to add some relays and fuses but the hard part is already done

For those interested - this is his basic package with upgraded ballasts and the total cost was $425 shipped. He can do LED projectors but they are about $200 more expensive and he said the LED projectors he uses do not have replaceable bulbs, so if they burn out, that's that. He can also do halo LEDs around the projectors, switchbacks, rear LED lights, etc. If I like the way these turn out I will probably order the rears as well. I think he said those are $225-ish. Only way to get ahold of him is on facebook.

You could probably build these yourself for about $200 if you had the skill, patience, tools, and time to do it. When I priced out the individual pieces, his price seemed reasonable for the labor he has to do.

They look a lot better installed on your truck than they do sitting on your work bench

Looks like you've been getting rain too. At my house in East Tennessee we've gotten 22.41 inches so far this year

^^^ Those do look great! I really like how they look in your truck, updated but with the "factory" look. I'm really going to have to think seriously about getting some of those!!

POR15'd the frame a bit, and did some finishing touches on the engine before I put it in next weekend.
