I was looking to add some good bright driving lights to my truck...
I used to have a set of projector fog lights (see pics here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2191157/2) but they were not very bright...

can you guys suggest a kit small enough that will fit in the tow-hooks bay?

I've seen some online for about $300, but I see no difference between those the ones that are $70, for example, the have the same h3 bulb, 55w, etc.... what is the diff?

Thanks

I thought about it... I'm wondering if there will be a difference in the beam pattern between the rectangular and the round lights... the latest ones that I got are aslo round and with no projector... light output is not great either... I guess that the smaller the projector/reflector, the smaller the light output...

I think I might just look for some cheap-o h.i.d. kit from ebay... it might be about $60... about same as buying lights at local store and adding the silverstars after that.

by any chance, do you have any pics of your lights while on?

Thanks for input bigapple

Thanks Sams01.... h.i.d. are 6000k kit from http://fashtek.com/ color looks great... I think 8k would be to blue/purple... and not as bright... I'm actually looking for some 4600 k kit...

I'm looking at a couple of kits from these guys http://www.vvme.com/contact_us.jsp

the rear pipe is stock... but am saving for a borla or magnaflow kit... may be wife will be nice this year's anniversary ;-).
 






before the bull bar... before the paint

i had piaa in there... for that location, they look factory (the pics look iffy, but they work well there...
