I bet you have a nice truck - lots of folks reference the light bulbs called Silverstar Ultras. They seem to light up a little better. Also, lots of folks add driving lights behind the grill, as there is plenty of space to do so.

a pair of Silverstar Ultra headlight are around $45 buck, a pair of Silverstar foglights are around $25 I think.

I have them both, makes a great difference.

4300k HIDs in the fogs and head lights. I had to turn the head lights down 5 turns just to stop the hi beam flashes from on coming cars This guy( Tim Garza <garzausarmy@yahoo.com> )will be able to get you what you need and solve any problems along the way, I couldn't be more pleased. I got a set of HIDS on the way for my Hellas 500, so all my lights will be 4300k HIDs, very bright white.

I just installed lights behind the grill of my truck and they are friggin' awesome. Only problem is that I should have put four lights instead of two so I can light the whole road. Beams are somewhat concentrated. Lights the whole grill up at night, AWESOME!!!

Pair of 130 watt behind the grille; 100 watt headlamps; 80 watt fogs, 55 watt inboard fogs above license plate. It works.

HID'S are excellent choice too!

Hey Greg, I see you have grille lights on your '08. Could you post more pictures of how it looks? I am thinking of doing the same on my truck, but want to get a feel for how it looks on a like truck.

Thanks!
