Default HIDs and LED Tails

Haven't been on here in a while so just sharing whats been done. Installed new 6K HID's for the fogs and headlights (hi/lo), love them so far, however the people driving towards me at night don't lol I try to get away with just the fogs on at night cause they're pretty darn bright and it looks sexier lol. Ive also gotten new LED taillights (thanks for the idea dakotaff lol) since my old ones were too dark tinted.

How did you do your fog lights? Do the 2008s have the 9145 bulbs or the PSX24W bulbs?

Did you replace the whole taillight housing or just install LED bulbs?
Models?
Backup lights as well?
I would love to add LED's.

Glad that you like the LED's, I always forget that I have them until I see another vehicle with LED tails. They pretty much look like the same ones that I have, full tail light LED, which have the resistor already installed. Looks exactly like the stock tail light otherwise.

Do you have a link to the cheapest pair, Dakotaff? From what I remember from awhile back they were about $180 or so..I'm kind of sick of my tail lights. They only look good when I wash the truck then they get dirty and look like crap haha
