I used 3M badge tape to apply them. Theyd be even better if I took the time to bake the headlight and put them inside but I wasn't sure if I would like them that much.


Sorry no night pictures yet Ill try to get some tonight and put them on tonight or tomorrow.

Nice, sounds simple. What did you wire it to?

I wired the white LEDs into the side marker light so I didn't splice into the headlight wires. Then if you want the amber switchback light you just tie one wire into the hot wire for the turn signal. Very simple 3 wire setup.

Added a smittybilt street light bar, but since it doesn't contain any light pods or bars, it's not worth the time to take a picture of it... yet.

Got around to finally finishing my hid retrofit this weekend and installed today. Will post pics later tonight or tomorrow after checking the aim and doing a little adjustments. My low beams are working great but the high beams are not coming on, after doing a lot of reading, it seems that the H13 harness may need the pins swapped around (supposedly a pretty common issue). I pre-aimed them prior to opening the heads up so hopefully they will be pretty close or still spot on, I used a couple different levels to measure that the bowls and the projectors were pretty spot on, so maybe I will get lucky. More to follow if swapping the pins on the harness connector work.

Forgot to add, the Acme Switchbacks look great, my neighbors are already saying they want to get some now.

Ah hell with it. Here's a couple pics anyhow.

I am thinking about a couple of configurations for lighting.

It's 30.5" between the last two tabs, 10" between the front two tabs, and 10.5" between the front tab and the side tab on either side.

They make adjustable LED light bars and curved light bars, but I'm having a hard time finding an adjustable mount curved light bar. Therefore I'm thinking I might get a 30" or 32" curved, attach it to the two outer tabs, and then attach two 9" flood/spot combos to the outer tabs, from underneath, and point them at about a 30-35* angle.

This would give me a curved light bar for spot/flood output up top and two guaranteed side lights that don't block my front plate.

It's still a thought in process.

Looking at move off-road bumpers. Really good price!! $395 + $75 shipping. Bumpers are in pieces and have to be welded and painted. $850 for front and rear really isn't bad. Maybe will buy them after truck gets wheels and tires and lifted a couple inches. I have a 1 3/4 leveling spacer for the front and the factory blocks for the rear. Planning 20x10 fuels full blowns in white with 33x12.50 lionhart lion claws.

Thanks for you comments on the wheels, seeing the photos of your wheels done are what made me want to do mine with the same stuff. And yeah being my age, just having turned 17, it's hard to afford the high-end stuff. I already work two jobs just to have what I do. I've been looking at TRS stuff and checking costs. I know you made a pretty comprehensive guide to retrofitting, and when it comes time I will use it as my guide. Hopefully soon.

Thanks for your offer, you're truly the bigger man here. My apologies for the argument, you'll understand that it's hard to take criticisms of your hard work. I welcome them normally but the lighting department and I have always been touchy. I value night-time vision more than just about anything on my truck, due to some events about a year ago. I don't really have money without a name on it right now, but thank you for the offer. If it still stands maybe in a week or two I will message you.
