    Had a problem when ordering the 14" magnaflow so i cancelled the order.. learned that you shouldnt order from truckpartshub.com, they have the worst customer service ever. So I decided to order an 11" magnaflow (#11366) instead of the 14" from a different site. That should be here next week. Installed the clear corners today. And got the 881s on that i decided to use the middle setting with.

    OH! And I ordered a 6000K HID kit for my hellas today! That should be here thursday ;)

    Completely changed the original post to all updated pics. Installed the clear blinkers along with the HIDs for the hellas. They gave me the 8000Ks instead of the 6Ks i wanted but I didnt wanna wait for them to ship them so I took the 8s. :)

    Do it bro! We'll have matching trucks ;) haha

    All you really have to do is drill like a 1 inch hole in the plastic housing because the bulb is so long. Get some silicone to secure the bulb because the metal retainer for the halogen bulb wont fit the hid ones. I just bent the 2 tabs in to hold on the bulb and ziptied it tight as fuck :p haha then i mounted the ballasts on the bumper with double sided tape :) get 6000k or less bulbs though, 8000k has too much blue

    Its a secret... :p

    I read that if you have 55w ballasts an 8k bulb will look more like 6k. and 6k will look more like 5k and so on and so forth. When i get my lights im going to have to do this mod :D did you use H3 bulbs?
