    upgrade over stock for sure but nowhere near jasons! i had to check pics like 3 times to make sure there werent pods hidden somewhere back there. if only the piaa headlight leds were an upgrade over stock halogens... oh well, they will make good high beams eventually

    Led headlight bulbs sound promising... I haven't read up about them at all yet. I just found out the retrofit source makes led bars...

    i went with some piaa leds and they look great, throw acceptable light, but arent quite what i want. they will make excellent high beams though due to instant on when i do hids for low beams. think the 6000k color might be a big part of it. eventually i want to take apart my headlights to blacken the shrouds and will probably do some tuned projectors and proper hids then

    just dont buy into all the hype with led headlights. none are as bright as halogen or cast light as even or far yet and people rave about them because the color is pretty which i cant argue with. they match the led running lights perfectly

    I have a set of LED bulbs as the high beams in my Corvette and they're useless! I purchased a set of bi-xenon retrofit HID pop ups and because they're bi-xenon, the high beam slot isn't needed so the company throws an LED bulb in there for color/completeness and they're useless!

    I'm sure it's the cheapest high beam bulb they make. It looks pretty though.

    He's got a new 3.5" lift going in and those flat fenders . Should be pretty cool once it's done.
    The small lift that's in it now will be for sale :boink:

    Needed more space, and I wanted to support the fossil fuel industries even more than I already do so this soccer mom accessory happened.

    Sup guys. Finally got the parts from @HeadStrong Off-Road installed. My neighbor did it for $200, while the shops around town wanted between $800-$1200.

    Eibach coils
    Bilstein 5100 @.85
    3/8 spacers
    Headstrong AAL
    Light racing UCA's.

    The shop I took it too had a little trouble with aligning it. I'm going to bring it back. The ride isn't as shitty as I thought it would be, but definitely not as good as it was pre-lift.

    The truck sits level, although it might not look like it in the pictures image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
