Damn, your truck looks very nice. It'd be nice to do that to mine, but that'll have to wait until after winter if it keeps this weather up.

they are great, they are 100 watts
very adjustable,
like a mag light, you can turn them and adjust the beam focus
and you can buy different lens for different conditions
i have spot lens, fog lens, snow lens

Ya done a LOT of work there bud.
It's very rewarding when you see the shine though isn't it?
That clar barring is the tops.
I couldn't believe how rough the paint was before doing this to mine.
It's well worth doing.
Nice job.
Al.

thanks
yep , most people dont realize how bad their paint finish is, until its really bad
my truck is only 8 months old, and i keep it clean and waxed
but the contaminates in my finish were amazingly bad
, and even had a few swirls, or siderwebs in it
so, it was time to go to town on it

fyi, if you go to the mothers, or meguires websites
they have a maintenance schedule for your car/truck to follow
also lots of tips,tricks, and howto's to help you out
its very informative and lets just about anyone make there car look great
