Should look good Jon. I must admit, you're a better man than me, the cold has got anything I'm gonna do on hold! A couple more days, and we have 30F days for a couple.

Decided that since I am going to have my stock tails tinted to add some vinyl to the body. American Muscle has hood and tailgate graphics. I think they will go great with the black and blue theme. Painter is working on my mirror caps, door handle pulls and tailgate handle lever. Hope to get the black headlights on tomorrow. Boxlink system will have to wait to get installed until the tonneau is removed in the spring. Gotta hook up Forscan and change up some bulb outage setting for the LED's. This damn cold weather really slows things down. Can't wait to retire in a warm climate.
Have you considered the Airdesign tailgate applique? It's also black but is a 3D part, instead of a vinyl sheet. For some reason I'm tempted to say that Boostedgreygoose has it but I don't think so...I think it was someone else. Quite a few trucks on here have it.
Very hyped for the heads! I gotta put on my 5100s this weekend; good thing (rarely) I have a bit of generalized hyperhidrosis that'll ensure I'm roasting not freezing my butt off working on the truck

Tailgate graphics - you mean this one?

Yes, the picture I just posted is LED H11's in my low beams. I have not found a 9005 for my high beams that is worth a dang. So I am installing Philips HIR1 9011 in them and trimming the tab on the base to fit. I installed LED 9005's in my fog housings and they are perfect. Here are the links"

I just read through your build thread. Nice project, great build thread, great truck! My wife accused me of a midlife crisis moment when she caught me watching your videos to hear your exhaust sound.
Anyway, I did an Anti Chrome Ranger many years ago, it was blue also.
LED's are the next thing on my list, and I really like your beam cutoff picture you posted.
The low beam link that you posted above is no longer working. Would you direct me to the bulbs that you have please?
What do you mod slightly to make the LED's work? the bulb or the headlight housing?
Thanks
