fog light

good day

i have same model , asking if i can install the factory fog lamp in place , or this pumper is not allowing me to do that,,,,,

by the way you have good idea about your light

I just realized something, your HIDs have a very decent pattern on that wall considering they're in reflectors. Not bad.

yes they do thank you the right one is a little low after my wife bumped the right side of my truck with her car it tracked the mounting point. it was perfectly level and looked amazing but i just haven't fooled with it enough to get it back level.
 






And that's in reflectors.. Still in shock. What kit you got in there? 9007 BiXenon?

$60 H13 6000k hid kit off ebay

they are a cheap set and they work really good match the temp of the light bar perfect.

i may be getting a new set the left light got stuck on high beam lastnight.
 






Oh yeah, 06's used H13s.
Damn. I hope my 9007 kit is of the same quality when it comes in.
 












post up some pics when u put them in.

Mine came in today, but way to cold to put them in. (-24 Celcius, -11 Farenheit)

Gonna wait till it warms up a bit..

So I got them in in my buddies shop.

Here's the issue, they send H4 bulbs with a 9007 Ring Adapter. So they aren't 9007 and the bulb doesn't really match the filament..

High beam is in the low beam section.. Low beam is just a cluster blank of light.
Other than that, low beam has a fairly good pattern, with a very faint glow above the cutoff, which helps light up road signs to be honest.
I hate people with HIDs who blind others, but these do not glare at people's eyes. I have asked people to drive in front of me and towards me.

High beams.. which line up with low beam's filament location:

Low beams.. which just puke light everywhere:
