I would prefer tow hooks at this rate..I like them more on full size pickups so one day when I get a nice new pretty ram she will probably have one. black ram with the black aries one..hehehehe

That's a nice list there. Unless you have a problem with fog in your area, the driving lights brighten up ahead much farther. I rarely/never see fog here.

im thinking that i can mount them in front of the fog light light cutouts (not cutout tho) should be interesting, i saw it on a silverado once thought it was cool but i think they were 4 inchers

went and got the PIAAs today, and they are the fogs, no cracks, but some rust around the lens, but i can sand it down and paint it again. as for the hellas they came as well they werent the fogs as the seller said they were the driving ones. for the piaas im thinking this........

i plan to mount it somewhat flush, i plan to cut a small diameter pipe at an angle to make the light point forward, with the bolt going through a hole in the bumper.

what do you guys think?

if they were flush that would look good..too bad no one really makes a lightbar for this truck except maybe Westin but they're pricey. It would look good if you drilled into the bumper before the grill as well but I know drilling into the bumper is probably something you want to avoid haha

it really sucks because i feel like putting fogs behind the grill loses the side lights


ps i think donkeypunch should hurry up and put his up for sale..... he said he was making a new one

A flush mount will look good, but it might be tough to aim them.

And Donkeypunch should produce a few light bars and ship them out. Just sayin'.

installed the 500's today..already had wiring done from previous set of lights so it was just bolt up, snip, and solder! (blue is ground, black is power)

they actually are pretty bright since I had just those on for a minute tonight but I will have to order an H3 HID kit because they can't compete with my low beams/fogs..they do look good on the truck though. Will post a pic later of them with the hood down and what not. Also, a little mod I did over the weekend since I was bored. Will get a pic of the final product tomorrow..love the truck "murdered"
