    I've been looking through his as well as those he's linked, but all ive been seeing conflicting info, some day front some say rear, I'm wondering if they mean front portion of the rear ds. But it would make sense that one needs to be lengthened and one shortened. I'm hoping someone can get measurements from theirs.

    They look great above, but i imagine the glare would be horrible. I'm a truck driver and any kind of glare bugs the sh!t out of me!

    glare sucks ass. It sucks because i love having roof lighting. But the LED bars are the only nice lo profile thing really. I had 4 hellas up there once and the drag on the highway was insane. But they were further back on the roof so there was no glare. Worked amazing. Tried the LED bar cause its pretty cheap. No worth the glare at all. have considered fabricating a shield for it. But meh.

    It's going to get dirty and hopefully scratched to all hell.

    I'm already severely aroused.

    A DC with a 5-speed would be my ultimate.

    Yeah it looks a ton better with it black now. In my head the skid plate did not show as much, but on the truck you can see the whole thing haha. I thought only the front lip of the skid plate showed but the whole damm thing does and makes it extremely yellow.

    It sure did!



    Also did a quick photoshop of what black headlights would look like. Im probably gunna open my headlights for the 4th time tomorrow haha

    It's not really worth the effort. In the end up finding the glass still looks like a shower door after the effort
