Heads or Tails? both

Finally got rid of those faded factory shells. Did the driving lights, the headlights and the tails. Thanks to @W8TVI turning me onto the ANZO U-Bar Headlights. as well.

Those headlights are pretty sweet. How'd you wire those U bars? To the parking lights? Looking good!

thanks, i like the aggressive look the u-bars add. it grew on me.
and yup, i just tapped the u-bar's into the center amber driving light. figured out which wire flashed the blinker, then used the other two for constant. they are very good quality. the tails and lowers are just run of the mill ebay stuff

Damn those look clean as hell, could send those to anzo and get paid for advertising those lights. Have your truck pic on thier ad in mags lol

Surprised you didn't get clear corners. We all wanna know tho, hows the low beam light output?

haha, thanks man. yeah i mocked up all different types of headlight/parking light combinations from black to clear to amber etc.. plus, i had to think what it would look like once its painted too. so i finally settled with this setup.

Here's with the low beams on. (i have new fog light bulbs on the way)

Oh man, that's gorgeous. Love the look of the U-bars, especially on your truck.

Still very clean for sure. Your camera skills are on point man
..the Ubars add a modern look to the front so I figure crystal clears would follow suit
On another note what if you were able to retro matching Ubars into the fogs ?

 

[Fosscore]

Those headlights look great. The u bar shape ties in really nice with the shape of the grille. Cool modern look on your truck for sure.

What does the light pattern on the wall (from about 25') look like from those projectors?

If you haven't already done it, I'd recommend a relay kit, the 4-high mod. The relay kit doesn't seem to help the HIDs as much as it helps the halogen high beams, but I like running the headlights directly from the battery connection with the heavier wires.

thanks man, i agree they really change the face of her with a decent update.
i'm not sure how they would look on only one round light as fogs. and i dont think that would be easy to do either

thanks, Foss. i agree

i'll try to take that projected look on my wall tonight and see. I also have no idea how to do that relay mod. But it seems like these HID's i have with ballasts etc pull on the battery right when i try to crank it. Wish it would delay until after the starter cranks.

Loved that and night train

haha, Mad Dog was actually kinda nasty. Made me throw up plenty of times but it was all we could get our hands on back in the day for cheap.

Those look great brother! I've been looking for something similar to give the front end an updated look...got a link where you got them from?
