    I've decided I'm gonna try to make them fit. If I make a custom bracket and do some cutting they should go in there just fine. Also they ended up being anzo 7 inch hid lights. In the add I'd didn't say what brand they were and you couldn't tell from the pics. But I paid 35 a piece for them and anzos are 120 a piece so if I can't get them to fit I can sell them for a profit.

    Ran the main power wire to the fuse box, the power wire from the parking lights, 12 volt keyed wire, power wire out from a relay to the fog light circuit, power wire out from a relay to where the hid lights will be, power out from a relay to where I'm moving my led cubes too, and power out from a relay to where I'm putting the reverse lights. All of those wires got ran through the dash and under the carpet to somewhere in the center console. The only wire I have left to run is the power wire from the reverse light circuit, but I still have to find where to hook up to it at. I didn't have time to mess with the hid lights today so I will maybe get to those tommorow. I go back to school tommorow and I'm picking up more days at work starting next week so I'm really trying to finish everything including the fog light retrofit by this weekend

    Finally got this wiring stuff done. All my wires are ran and I moved my cubes to beside the license plate. Now I just have to finish those fog lights and mount my hid lights [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Well I had my reverse circuit hooked up to the wrong wire so I fixed that then I was gonna out those hids in but I Decided to clean up my under hood wiring instead. Now you would never know I have 5 relays and 2 sets of retrofit a hooked up to a 12 volt constant. I only have one wire coming off my battery now (other than the stock stuff) and that's the 6 gauge wire going to my aux fuse box. The retrofit power wires were moved to the positive pole of the under hood fuse box and the wires are all hidden now. Then I decided to add 2 ground terminal blocks to ground both head lights, both sets of off road lights, the halos, and both fog lights (total of 10 ground wires). So I put a terminal on the drivers side and a terminal on the passenger side of the radiator support, so all the lights on the drivers side and passenger side have separate common grounds. Then I ground the block to both the radiator support bolts and the hood latch bolts. The wiring looks really clean now. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but it took about 4 hours cause it was a lot of wires to run/relocate

    A little bit of wire loom goes a long
    way in cleaning naked wires up.

    :peace:

    Yeah I gotta get some of that stuff. I ran most of it though the body panels actually which was a pain in the ass but worth it. But there is still some stuff I can cover with the loom

    Harbor Freight has it on the cheap. $3 for 10-14 ft depending on loom size.

    Ebay could be another inexpensive source
