    Its not perfect, its a little lower on the driver side which probably only I will notice, but not too bad I guess :D I probably wont get those lights up and running til next week. I snapped a few more pics of the actual light. They seem pretty solid and have nice powder coat on em

    Ehhh don't matter as long as it can take a beating

    May I suggest when you do the side tubes put a little bend in them. Your bumper looks a lot like my latest one :)

    Got all the lights installed and wired up yesterday! Took a lot longer than I thought. The truck idled really low for a good 20 minutes...rode it around and when I got back home I think the ECU had adjusted to the new voltage. The pencil beams kept turning off after a few minutes, but I think its because my battery was low. After the ECU adjusted, they haven't gone off yet. I'm going to do some more testing today after work
