Ok cool, I went and bought a pair of 500FF's from walmart like Hammer suggested. For anyone who is interested, the kit comes with a full wiring harness, a relay, a switch for inside the cab of the truck, AND mounting brackets and all of the required hardware. It is a no brainer type of kit which is nice, and is only $62.98 for the pair at walmart. I am planning on doing this tomorrow, so I will post some more pictures in this thread if the OP doesn't mind.

Do you guys drive with yours on all the time? Cause i don't think oncoming traffic digs them too much(flashing me).Was gonna point them down a little more so there focused on the ground in front of me a little more and less just straight out there.

In my state it's illegal just to have auxiliary lights in use on the road. My county fine for it is $182...

No, don't drive around with them on all the time. I will only be using mine off road or on very dark roads where there is no oncoming traffic. Mostly off road though during hunting/fishing/wheeling trips.

No I do not drive with them on all the time either. I do use them on the back country roads so I don't hit a deer. If I get busted on one of them roads, I guess it is better than smacking a deer.
As far as wiring it is quite simple actually, just follow the wiring diagram. Just be sure to use all the wiring supplied including the fuse. It is basically simple electrical, wire to the battery, ground to the frame and then wires go to the relay and back to the switch. If you get it and have problems just pm me and I will walk you through it. But I think once you look at the instructions you should be able to figure it out.

Ya the wiring was really easy.What took the longest for me was just figuring out how i wanted to run all the wires so it didn't look all ghetto.
