Default Finally installed Lightning headlights & HIDs!!

It's been a long time coming but I finally got around to buying & installing new Lighting headlights/corners along with a 55w 6000K HID kit. I think it looks bad*****. 100% better than it did with the faded stock headlights. The HIDs are just icing on the cake.

Next are matching 6000k fog lights.

Whats the piece right below the headlights..? The upper valence? I googled it and couldn't find anything, I have a black plastic one and would like to get a black one that would match my body.

And could you paint this lower valence..?

I found the valance on Ebay a few months back. Unfortunetly it doesn't have a brand/model stamped on it so I can't even tell you who makes it. I'll see if my Ebay/Paypal account still has the sellers info on file so I can ask him where he got it from. It was a score for me at only $100 !! Painted it to match the truck.

I was almost sold on a set of Halo's but decided I wanted a nice clean look so I went with the Lightning look. I'm now trying to find a nice set of 4" fog lights that I can throw a set of matching HIDs in. I used Nightshade on the ones I have on there now only because they were crap lights and I knew I was going to upgrade them.

That looks great. Are the HIDs aftermarket from ebay or actual HIDs. Ive seen the aftermarkets from ebay turn purple over time.

I picked up the HIDs brand new from a local guy selling them on Craigslist. The headlights I got from Ebay for about $80 (plus shipping). Best $80 I ever spent on the truck. Makes it look brand new! Plus the HIDs look 100x better with the new headlights. The stock ones give off too much of a glare and blind other drivers. Lightning headlights are the way to go.
