FWIW, if you do drill you can go back stock and the stock setup will cover up the hole and it won't be seen.

Thanks, but I changed it again already...

Dropped out the factory fogs and moved the amber Duallys over. They didn't seem to work with the Starkey H10 to Deutsch harness , so they are switched and the D2 Fogs are running on the factory switch (same location). I'm thinking I'm going to pick up a pair of the JW Speaker 6145s. Can't seem to like the square in the round hole...

Will probably upgrade the ambers to a set of Q2 Driving Lights and move the other Duallys down to the lower center.

I think I may have something similar yet different in mind. Might buy a set of lamp housings that I'll modify to fit in the OEM buckets. This would retain stock vertical adjustments.

Still researching...

Goofing around with my video system and saved this clip of my backups just installed last week. They project like crazy and looks great through the rear view camera.

Finally got it done this weekend. Had to move the grille supports out just a bit to fit the LED bar as it was about 1/2" too long. Looks great and its like turning on daylight!

I know my mounting points have been covered, but eh what the hell. My favorite set of lights right now have to be the hood mounts. Ive never seen anyone with these in my area, and id like to think I am decently unique. they were a pain in the *** to install the hood mount brackets, and id HIGHLY recommend doing it with a friend, for the ease of getting your panel gaps correctly when reinstalling the bolts on your hood.

The hood lights just look outta place to me! I do like how the rest of your leds arent on a lightbar mount, or bull bar like most op...
