Roof lights

[joecrotch]

Yesterday went down to the local autoparts store and got some lights for the roof. There kinda cheap but they will do untill I get the HID lights I want. I used the stock roof rack and mounted them to it.

Looks good man. Your truck has a pre-runner look to it somewhat.

Thanks that is kinda what I am going for. I debated for ever on the removal of the front valance but I really like the way it looks. And I am fabbing up a pre-runner bar that will come out from under the bumper where the valance was so should look good.

Also solismo what lights are those you have the Hella 500's ?

I'm actually just gonna get a Hella kit and convert to HID. Im to cheap to pay a grand for a set of lights. lol

I am a big DIY guy (as long as it looks good). I am really big into BMW's so I have a bunch of these ( http://img.eautopartscatalog.com/live/P803921413HEL.JPG ) laying around. I am thinking of making something to mount these behind the grill. I was also thinking of cutting 2 holes out of the stock grille to mount these like the mustang grille lights. I am still debating if I can do it and make it look stock. Any thoughts?

Do a search on ebay for (9" hid) there are a set of red ones that can be had for about 250 shipped

those are nice, but I just love the clean look of the Hella 500's. And I already have 4 sets of Bosch HID ballasts so all i would need is the Hella's and bulbs.

I think that you could make it look good, but you really need to find just the right trim ring to go around the lights.
