    sounds great! and one last question... may sound dumb but I can use the factory truck wire harness right? like a plug and play so to speak after minor modification of the housing? really the only things that change are the bulbs and adding the projector?

    Yes, the ballasts that you get will plug into the same plug that the stock plug hooks into. It pretty much is plug and play as far as the electrical goes
