Default Looks great

Where did you get the projectors. I've been looking at whats out there, and cannot find anyone who shows how good/bad they are. Yours look like they actually work.

The projectors can be found at theretrofitsource.com - those are Morimoto Mini H1s. They are retrofitted into the headlight. I've done.........well......a buttload of 'em! Once you go projector'd........you'll never go back to halogens or even hids in a standard light.

I agree. They are crap! and the high beams almost make no difference!

I had a rentel Silverado and when i turned the highbeams on in that it lite the entire road for a damn mile!

I really want to upgrade my lighting!

Numbers might not be here to bash the plug and plays, but I sure as hell will. They suck. They blind people and they are 100% of the reason why people who dislike HID systems actually complain about them.

For these trucks, you don't have a lot of options in terms of just going somewhere and buying a set unless you have a $1000 burning a hole in your pocket!

I suggest you hit this fellow and let him take care of all your lighting needs. Excellent customer service and the work is absolutely amazing!

He's actually got a set in the works for me as we speak!

You will not be unsatisfied to say the least.

Truly, whether you have the duals or quads, the stock light absolutely blows.

HIDs are a great upgrade, and of course, the projectors are that much better.

Took the advice and adjusted my headlights up 4 turns clockwise and what a difference, the stock bulbs are still weak, but the difference is huge compared to the stock setting....Drove around for awhile and no one flashed there lights at me. So I'm pretty happy for now, till I drop $$ for some projectors and HID's!

i havent messed with my headlights yet, its actually the reason im on here researching now, but the first thing i did was swap out the fogs for HIDs and they outshine my headlights and are low enough not to **** anyone off
