what i was wondering is how do you hook up the light itself, is there pigtails coming off the light or is it a plug?

Nice writeup!!
How do you like it so far?
One thing I noticed as time went on was the un-willingness for the motor to breath well at upper rpms. you can fix this with this filter K&N RD-1460. I put this on and the upper rpms come alive, however you do loose a slight amount of low end torque. Depending on your truck, it may or maynot matter to you. With mine being a heavy QC and now 295 tires, I need all the low end i can get so right now mine is on the shelf. The one thing to point out if anyone is going to get one of those filters is the flange is not long enough to reach thru the heat shield and grab the tube well enough to stay on so you will have to move the heat shield closer to the firewall by adding a spacer near the radiator and drilling a new mounting hole.
Your truck, it's a single cab S/B?

RE: K&N Cold air intake installed + pictures and my thoughts
Hehehe, right... instead of posting two times in a row to answer two different questions, post it all in one post, like so:
I know it seems like a pain when you are doing right by answering all questions... but many people use "double posting" to post *****... I know that's NOT what you are doing... but still. Just keep it to one post... of course, once someone replies, you may post again... LOL! Just not twice back to back like above... do that in one thread.
Did I confuse you more?! LOL! I think I might have confused myself on that explaination. HAHA!!
As for the DIY... I just want to "steal" what you have on your site to post in the Do It Yourself Section here:
https://dodgeforum.com/forumid_118/tt.htm
Or you can redo it to be more step by step... this just helps people who might want to do this mod. You get full credit of course.

Yup single cab short bed. I tend to think short beds look better with larger tires. But this truck fell in my lap so there was no chance to pick options. Right now I am happy with the powerband of the truck. I have the 318 and you have the 360. I dont seem to notice anything missing in power only gained. So Im lucky on that. I am only using 31 inch tires till i get out of germany and dont have to buy gas at 2.50 - 2.60 a gallon. If I get stationed in Oklahoma City again the gas is alot cheaper and I might do the 5 inch lift but it all depends on whats going on with fuel. I dont want to build something that I cant afford to drive. Im getting about 15mpg now and thats about the lowest I will put up with and keep a truck as a daily driver.
See ya - thanks for tip though

Ah I see. Its very basic with 2 wires about 6 inches coming out of the light. No plugs. But I do not have the HID lights this is the model below the HID in cost.
That answer your question?

RE: K&N Cold air intake installed + pictures and my thoughts
wow thats alot of quotes. But I c now!
Thx for making me aware of this.
Anyhow feel free to use anything I have if it will help out other people. Just give me credit for the pictures.
I could make it more detailed if you like and use a unlinked spot of my website. I can make it open a new screen so the dodge forum is still open. You tell me what works for u.
As to the fog lights being legal they are for off-road use only. Germany has no cover laws and even if they did they are covered.. (clear covers) lol.
I use the lights on the autobahn at night at light up a halfmile ahead. Im my town after 8pm there are no cars on the roads. When my wife and I got here we were blown away by this. All the stores close at 6-7pm and the only people who are out are people walking thier dogs and familys ALL walking like america did in the 50's. Its very nice really. But since there are no cars at night I can blast my big lights to my hearts content. Gas at $5.20 a gallon stops the kids from crusing endlessly. If I see someone coming I shut them down well in advance. But the A-hole who tail gates me with his brights on has a surprise coming when I wave him by... My turn to use my brights....
