looks good. if you can, a shot seeing how much the hellas illumate the road (without other lights) would be awesome

paul05dak Dec 28, 2008 08:35 PM

I just tried, all the shots came out the same. old camera and it didn't pick up the different light patterns. Sorry but I really DID just try!

looks really good. nice color Dak too! Do you have HIDs installed with the headlights?

paul05dak Dec 28, 2008 10:03 PM

no HID's in the Dak, have them for my van and going to install within the next week. the bulbs in the projectors are the extream white PIAA's Also just installed them today. upgraded from Silverstars.

Those look great. When I get the money saved up I am getting some KC rally 800 lights to go behind the billit grill. People think my lights are bright now just wait to they see how bright they will be after 2 375,000 candlewatts are. lol

a little back ground on the install. Photos will follow in the future. Jay and I had to go to Advance Auto to pick up a inline fuse holder and light tester (light tester is still in it's package but is good to have for future projects) . The Lights are bolted in front of the radiator. There are bolts already there and it was the perfect location (on the cross member in front of the radiator). I removed the ones closer to the center and bolted the bracket's up there. We put the toggle switch in the cab under the steering wheel to the left. there are 3 wires that go to the toggle switch. one to ground in the cab, and two thru the fire wall. One to the battery (with the fuse holder inline between the switch and the positive connection to the trucks fuse box) holding a 25 amp fuse. And the other going to the light closest to the battery side of the truck. Then we tied in the passenger side light wires using a wire splice to the wires going to the drivers side. Lots of words but really a simple hookup. pain is going through the firewall. The lights also have 2 poles to connect too. One already has the power and the other is to ground. Connected to the ground that the truck battery is tied into. Hopefully once I get photos it will make more sence. I also hope this rambling makes sence to you all.
