hey with all those leds doesn't they get expensive to have in your truck and if not where do they get them cheep???
$10 for a pack of 4 of the single LEDs at advanced auto toggle was like $15

8 194 LEDs were $35 on ebay

all the other outer LEDs i got for free from my brother-in-law cuz he swapped them outta his focus for better ones

so altogether i spent about $100 only cuz i had to replace 6 of the singles cuz the resistors are crap

very nice, how did you you change out the hvac bulbs? i really want to do that, im about to relocate my leds in the airvents to somewhere around the center console like yours,



mine werent that expensive, i got mine from super bright leds, i got 2 of these for the driver and passanger sides up under the dash, by your feet they were about 25 dollars, and i got 10 single bulbs for like 6buck plus wire, and resistors for the single bulbs puts you at about 40 bucks total thats on the high side, i used the single bulbs to replace the ash tray bulb and glove box bulb
for the HVAC all you rele need to do is take out ur stereo, mave sure u have the heater on defrost (it moves a plastic piece tht is right above the light) and there should be a single plug that justs twists and pulls out u should make sure that the LED is in the right way otherwise it wont work (got lucky when i did my dash & only had to flip the HVAC one

I pulled the broken grill shell out of the way and placed these 5" fogs in there
They are from a Ford. But I haven't a clue as to what model.(There mounted upside down held in by flathead drywall screws into the original grill screw mounts)
My adjustment rod is a welding stick. they give nice lighting to the road sides just incase there is somthing waiting to pop out of the woods!

I took this roll bar off of my brother's '91 Ranger before it was scrapped and set it on my truck to see what it looked like. Not bad! The lights are KC daylighters with Summit Racing covers on. I ended up selling it for $100 to a friend to put on his '06 Ranger.

its a 22" Vision X LED bar with the Euro/Driving beam. Below quote is from the thread for my front bumper build

I'm extremely impressed with the LED for the little time I've had it on the bumper. Before, I had 2 halogen Hella 500ff lights on my stock rear bumper, with 100 watt bulbs in them. The guy I borrowed the bar from has 3 of those Kragen HID lights on his bumper, and based on what I saw from being in his truck, this thing is just as good if not better than those. I've decided that I'm now going to get some LEDs for my truck when I can afford them.

those LED lights can't be street legal. no cop would ever allow something like that.

nobody really knows what it is. with it off, i never got hassled. the only time I ever used it on the street besides in the pictures was to quickly flash one person who jetted across 4 lanes of the freeway then slammed on their brakes right in front of me.

its not mine. i borrowed it from the guy who made my front bumper. he bought it for a buggy he used to have, and now its on a race truck sponsored by the company he works for. I'm personally looking at getting 3 of the 8" bars once I can afford them, I'm kind of LED obsessed now haha

Do they have to be on my truck yet? :D

I just got these for my truck:



And just in case you didn't catch on. These are 7in Hellas w/ Free Form reflectors... And they're 55w HID EACH! ;) I hooked one of them up tonight, and it was brighter than the two 6.5in Hellas with 100w Halogen bulbs that are on my dads truck!

My truck is gonnaa be brightttttt here in the next week!!!!

They'd probably be on already, but my truck got broken into on Christmas morning, and my dash got trashed, so fixing all the damage comes first.

Then I've got to fab up a custom bumper that A) looks good, B) will hold all these suckers, and C) will keep said suckers from being stolen like the rest of the crap in my truck was on Christmas.

Lets just say, Insurance is paying out, I'm using the money to install an alarm, and that alarm is gonna be hooked into my lights! Paranoid much? Maybe a little, but I'd hate to lose them... lol!
