Default All the talk about HIDs got my brain working too hard.

so i got two sets of them, the 9006 with an external trigger, and an 808 *i think lol) for the fog lights. i did not do the high beams yet, i dont do much highway driving anyhow. -next payday.

hiding ballasts wasnt too bad on this truck, it was one of the easiest, quickest problem free installs ive done so far. the kit was supposed to be plug n play for the low beams and had to get a plug for the fogs. the low beam kit however had the bulbs wired in backwards so they werent igniting off the get go. lol so a quick hairpin and some plug re wiring got all four of them HIDs lit up at once and holy hell its the light of day at night!

ill take a couple pictures after i eat and show off the lights. its in-freakin-sane! (by comparison to whatever was there before)

Nice pic!
I hate looking at great pictures. Keeps reminding me I need to buy a DSLR.

Yeah, I have 5000k HID low beams.
Love them!

theres point and shoot cameras that do a damn good job and if i knew about them, i wouldnt have gotten a DSLR. they look like one, but a little smaller and have soo many lens attachments and filters just like a camera like mine, but for 1/10th the price!

a circular polarizing filter for my 10-22 Canon lens that uses a 77mm filter is like $150 for the lower quality ones and $250 for the better ones, not to mention to get to 10mm it cost me $900 for the lens, after i paid some stupid amount of money for the camera.
