    I almost with my mounting holes were about an inch farther back really..maybe ill re drill some

    Also HIDing them is not gonna be easy..but i think it'll be do able.

    So how big are they actually? Sure does make the hellas look sad and pathetic, shoulda done a comparison shot at night lol.

    I would prob drill a mounting hole further back light you said...otherwise looks like you might risk losing a light before anything hits the bumper.

    yea thats what im thinking. Ill prolly mount them so they are just before the grill really.

    And im thinking these lights will throw light WAY farther out then the hellas. But they will all have 55w HIDs in them..so yea. Would be similar im sure but these 240s range will just be epic im sure. Which is what i want. Then the 4 hellas will be my wide spread. and really..once i have em wired..i could do a comparison easy :D

    Agreeded! They hellas were just too small.

    And did you like them as just halogens? I have some 6000k HID bulbs i was thinking of swaping in there somehow..55w..

    i'd just plug n play with them...theyre pretty kickass as is. im not too fond of HID's personally.

    plus if they fail as is you can warranty them.

    now you can call your truck Rosie and blast this tune;
