    Here's the pics of just the reverse pods. I haven't got the ones in the tool box wired up yet I have been to busy. [​IMG][​IMG]

    That garage is about 50 yards away. I need to aim the lights up a little big more. I also got some pics of the rest of my setup. Here's both sets of retros on high beam [​IMG]. Just the 7 inch hids behind the grill [​IMG]
    Just the led cubes beside the license plate. [​IMG] And everything on[​IMG]everything on again [​IMG]

    I actually just traded the 7 inch hid lights tonight for a set of Hella 500ffs with my buddy off the other forum. They are taking up to much space behind the grill for how much (or little) light they put out. With the highs on they are pretty much downed out. So they are getting pulled off the truck Monday and sent to him. I'm gonna put some hid bulbs in the 500s and call it good. The 500s with hids are actually really impressive

    Considering selling the truck. Not sure what price to put on it tho. Here's the kbb suggested price [​IMG] I'm thinking about putting 7500 obo on it, I would be really happy with 7000. If I do sell it I will be getting another 10th gen. It's a blue and tan screw with a little engine work done to it.

    Start high and let them "talk" you down to what you wanted anyways.
    They feel they're getting a good deal and of course you get the cash.

    That's what I was thinking. I probably won't sell it. But there Is a slight chance I will. On a different note, I took an exhaust video yesterday for someone on the other forum so I might as well post it here too.

    That rattle was a loose exhaust hanger, but I welded it right after I took this

    Been super busy and all the electrical stuff on the truck has been torn out again lol. I did get some Hella 500ffs from a buddy and put hids in them so hopefully they will go on the truck tonight. Just depends on if the epoxy has dried. [​IMG] this was taken with on of the Hellas on with the hid bulb in my Garage last night with no other lights on. Also I'll be ordering the rest of my wire for the big 3 on pay day next week and hopefully getting the rest of the stuff for that cooler then to. Then onto the interior lol the dash needs repainted so I'll probably be stripping the whole dash and painting that soon as well.

    I love my HID converted off-road lights. They throw an insane amount of light. I do need to upgrade the ballasts and replace the bulbs though, they've got a lot of hours on them. Probably going with Fast Bright 55w ballasts :devilfinger::devilfinger::devilfinger::devilfinger:

    I can't wait to get these on the truck they already blow the old 7 inch ones I had out of the water. I just got some cheap eBay h3s for them. The add said the ballasts where 55 watt but Im willing to bet they are 35. How's the distance lighting On yours? If I ever finish my current projects I would like to pick up a set of used 700ffs for cheap and convert them over to hid but with 2 bulbs per light. The focus might be a little off but the amount of light that two bulbs will put out should make up for it. Heat may be an issue tho.
