Awesome 2nd gen I've always loved em and yours is no exception love the lift and 35s combo

I like how that bumper fits up to your head lights it looks good man, great fab work :smileup:

I'm more than pleased with how well it turned out. Like you said the headlights line up with the drop in in the bumper so well.

Next up is trying to find a sport grill and a way to fill the gap a bit. I'm thinking some diamond plate plasti dipped black.

Ok I lied... next up is my hid converted fog and driving lights... I have those I just need to put em on and wire em up

Oh a side note...

The step pad on the new bumper is sitting in my garage, with it off I might mount something under it for the gap...

Like the custom work man the truck is looking great. Don't think I have ever seen a 2nd gen with the 3rd gen bumper so reps for originality.

 

[double0ram]

Great truck man, you've definitely made that into a very unique 2nd gen.

that much can be said now that this bumper is on and almost finished

driving hids installed. Hella 500s, daytime pics

blue switch turns on the Hellas, and the yellow switch will turn on my PIAA 3000k hid convertions, once i get the new glass for one.

the PIAAs will sit to the outside of the Hellas

Looks good! What about mounting them in the holes where fog lights would go on a 3rd gen? And I wonder if there's a way to mold something to make the bumper completely straight instead of dipping below the grill

 

[double0ram]

I'm going to put some 3rd Gen factory fogs there anyways. The sport grill is gunna fill it out a lot, and I don't want to modify the bumper, I like the drop it has.

The goal is to produce enough light from the front end to mimic the sun ha...

Those things are bright jsut from the shot taken from your garage, nice man

 

[double0ram]

There more focused than my headlights and brighter too. My headlight hids are 35 watts and these ate 55 Watts. Lets just say they were bright enough to aim in the daylight.

 

[MadSoul87]

Sheesh after seeing that I think I am going to put aside the KC Daylighters idea and get a set of HELLAS. Those look nice!

 

[double0ram]

I'm sold on hellas. Even without the hid conversion there bright. The only reason I'm adding Piaas is cause I already have them. I plan on replacing em with the hella 500 fogs.

I didn't get a chance last night, but for sure tonite ill get some night photos.

 

[InDeepWaterBlue]

Look forward to it, your gonna piss off anyone you're behind if you leave all of those on lol

 

[double0ram]

As if my hids alone don't piss people off, or the lift, or straight pipes, then yes, the goal of 8 total hids should do the trick ha

 

[MadSoul87]

Where can you get the HID conversion kit fir the HELLAS? local store here has the HELLAS so will have to see if they have the kit also but can bet they won't.

 

[double0ram]

I doubt there's a kit from hella.

I had a collection of hid ballasts and bulbs laying around from the wife's car. There ddm tuning 55w 9006 or h3. There a small hid bulb so its a perfect fit. I powered em by loping the 9006 female plug off and then wiring.em up to the switch. I also ran a 30 amp fuse inline like a standard hid kit has. Its a really simple conversion and it yeilds untold amounts of light. Ill take pics tonite.

If you want a step by step write up ill do one.

Well disregard all that talk about PIAAs being used on my ram.

according to PIAA (I emailed em directly) the best way to get the replacement lenses is 4 wheel parts online. And 50 bucks a pop, I might as well hold off and get my Hella 500 fog patterns that I was going to get anyways. At under 80 bucks for both lamps, its a better deal in my eyes...

[double0ram]

ok let me get this out of the way... HOLY @#$% !!!!
:greenchainsaw:

alright moving on. this is the first time i got to get out at night and play with my Hella 500 hid conversions, and im beyond impressed. it came down to the fact that i couldnt stop taking pictures because these look and function so well at night. I took way more than this, but there is about 10 pictures to put up. Enjoy, cause i sure do!

Here's just my led turns

headlights, not quite warmed up sorry

headlights with hellas turned on, unaimed at this point, HUGE DIFFERENCE

 

[double0ram]

enough with pointing at the garage and shining the wifes rear end....

heres just the heads aimed down the road (notice an early red second gen down the road!)

and with the hellas included, semi aimed
