Default Hella Yah !!!

Well after lots of looking around this thread I have noticed that allot of the truck pics have lights behind the grille. Well I decided I wanted that too? I did a quick search on here,found the detailed instructions on the install and here is what I came out with. I purchased Hella 500 driving lights at my local Wal-Mart and have them wired using the solenoid and using the high beams as the signal. I used 12 gauge wire and added 150 watt bulbs.Thanks for all the great info...

Looks cool. I would have run the wires in the rear though.

Ya, I was thinking that too. But I didnt know about putting zip ties all the way around the support. I can still move it pretty easy, I put plugs on the ends...

Those came out looking good. Just another thing to add to the list of mods that I would like to do. How about getting us a night pic when you get a chance.

how much did it cost to do that setup?
thats for the lights and all the wiring, etc.
my guess is less than $100 but can you do it cheaper?

got time now. Now you can see my dented front bumper I have been trying to hide. Oh well, the new one will be here on Friday. That is the last of the dented parts I need to replace. But as for my next mod, I am picking up my Power Wagon axles on the 25th and I cant wait...
