copy and pasted from my thread:

hey all, heres my simple setup i just installed tonight. so i went to the dark side (i guess its called the light side) and bought an HID kit. now i know ALOT of people dont like these lights, thats why i got the high lows kit that gives my halogen lows but HID highs. all cost me $100 for the kit and 20 minutes to install.

heres the pics:
the original highs

Just added a subwofer and about 800 rms of power, tomorrow is a set of NGK wires and Autolite plugs to fix a bad missfire. body lift after that, and a full size spare on the short list. i wish this snow would melt so i can actually clean my truck. i hate a dirty vehicle.


also new serpintine belt, and idler pulley.

hooking up a power converter, plus the cb radio is gettting a corner mounted 4 to 5 foot cb antenna.

whohoo

Are those boxes waterproof? I always thought they needed to be mounted in a cool dry place. Although there isn't really a dry palce under the hood or a truck. I just figured behind the head light would get soaked in a downpore.

they are and they arent. they can stand a rain storm, but i wouldnt submerge them for any amount of time. i carry a backup ballast if i fry one.

trying to avoid the over sized look of the huge antennas

scraping the camburg route, for spindles.

anybody have any new ideas they want to share?

sprayed my frame with rust coat, and gave it a good cleaning rescently.

sahre your ideas guys, i know im not the only one modifying these trucks.

 

[adsm08]

it would probs void my warranty though... so nvm

Not really. The only way it affects your warranty is if they can prove that the installation or presence of the unit is what caused the failure you are trying to get covered. It doesn't void it, but if it causes something else to break that won't be covered.

It won't have any more effect on your warranty than those driving lights in your picture.

I know this was posted a long time ago, but i have some questions. Do you have front and rear drilled and slotted rotors? And how do you like that SCT tuner? I am looking for one and don't know if I should go with the superchips one or SCT.
