Dude those are SWEET! We are gonna wind up haveing three identical trucks on here. I been eyeballing TD's lights for a while now but thought about leaking problems and whatnot. But I actually have a set of the LED smoke recons on order.
By the time you get your wheels, we all gonna look like triplets.
Very nice man, I like it alot. It's amazing how just those lights up there make such a difference!

Did they come with a template to drill the holes? and how long did the install take? You are going to have to take a picture of where you spliced into the running lights for me.

Yeah buzzy, td sent me a DYI on how to do it but my parents didn't haven't internet at there new house so I didn't get to use it I just made my own way I guess....I'll type somethin up and can explain the wiring very easy, the hardest part is aligning the lightsangles you want them after measuring them out.... we used a laser aligner....worked great...

Yeah workin on them 35"s if only my bank account got more intrest this would be so much faster! we'll have triplets in a couple more months though....lol

Just FYI for anyone drilling holes in the sheet metal. There are special sheet metal drill bits, they look like a cone with several steps on it. Basicly it drills a small hole the widens it a little more with each step untill you reach the size you need. Each step is marked with it's size.
This keeps you from getting those nasty warped looking holes and frieking out while you drill them. It make a nice smooth holes without all the binding up and warping it.

I got lucky the little holes didn't do any warpin the press wouldn't fix. I did have a bit of a gap in some of the larger diameter bits though, so you can see a lil warping in the pic, however with a press we got it all straightened back out in a snap...Good INFO though buzzy had it not been sunday I woulda gone and got the right bit for it I just got used to the bigger city life and everything always open and forgot the smalltown shuts down on Sunday...lol
