So why the big secret or did I miss something? Where did you get those lights? What all do we need...bulbs, that wire thing to stop flickering etc, what else? Are those outside led rings just for daytime running lights? But really why the secret?

Heres a ebay listing for the exact headlights i have...item number 140502649608
Installing the projectors is pretty straight forward....there is a youtube vid on the ebay listing that shows you step by step..all you really have to do is tap into your running light wires to power the halo's and the led's inside the housing...
I did have the H.I.D's in my OEM housing and always got flashed because i was blinding people.....however, if you have the H.I.D kit installed on your OEM headlights, and you get the projector headlights, you will need to also buy the H1 H.I.D bulbs to fit in the new projector housing...the factory bulb is a different size....
My tail lights and 3rd brake light are Recon....the headlights are not....i honestly didnt see a difference in light output between my OEM headlights (with H.I.D)on low beam or the low beam in the projector lamps.......except now i dont get flashed for blinding people...

bohrman,
That truck looks awesome! Very similar to mine (expect mine has none of the cool stuff that yours does).
Quick question for you - Did your truck originally have dual or quad stock headlights? If it was duals - what kind of re-wiring did you have to do for these aftermarket ones? If it was quads - then nevermind. Thanks!

I think i am going to get the same housing as borhman44 but in black. Those h1 hid bulbs you put in are halogen right. I think this is what i am going to go with but not sure if it will fit or not.
