    truck is lookin good man! iLike those rims you got haha...
    keep up the good work!:waytogo:

    i used to have a set of H4 conversions with the projector lenses like that. hard to tell if they're actually projectors(not dissing his headlights) but the ones i had were just for looks:doah:
    some other people on here have retrofitted real projectors though... search um! haha...

    They are working out nicely, but I'm agreeing Byronics, these projectors, or so called projector lights are not "true" projection. But they do a hell of a job lighting up the area. Will take some pictures tomorrow so show you.. But bought these on eBay a couple months back, & they are doing great! Seen some true projection headlights, but they go for $250 for the pair, so I passed on that one...Other than that, it's the H6054 conversion headlights, H4 bulbs, I have 10k's running at the moment, but changing them this weekend to 3k's (yellow) for that older type look...

    Thanks R-Tan, These are BBS RS reps, Still looking for real ones, but so hard to find..thinking to go with Dares, BBS RS reps since they have a more aggressive offset, but will get some soon :)

    Ahh RS is what i meant. how much were they if you dont mind me asking? and what are the wheel specs? I would say keep them and work on getting your truck a little bit lower and then your truck would be perfect. although a more aggressive offset would be awesome.

    Rims & tires were about $900, 17X7.5 35et all around, the truck is very low right now, barely clearing speed bumps without driving to the side. But going lower lol (; Will be selling my rims soon, so get new ones with a deeper offset, for that flush look!

    I think 8 or 8.5 wheels would be perfect and maybe go down to 16's? ;) looking forward to the progress
