so as some you know, my truck was recently attacked. as a result, i figured now was a good a time as any to do what ive always wanted to do to it, lift it (as well as new tires and wheels). here are some pics:

changes include:
Halo ring projector headlights with LEDs and HID conversion
3" Performance Accessories Body Lift
305/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers
Halo Projector Fog Lights
JDM black chrome bumper lights w/ LEDs
17 x 9 Pro Comp Extreme Alloy Wheels

the only problem is taht im currently without front tow hooks. i need to cut the front bumper to reattach them, and i need to cut the front bumper just a tad bit more so that it doesnt rub.













now i just need some steps (haha, my g/f is gonna have a fun time- shes only 5 foot).....

My friend got projectors similar to those on ebay. They have a terrible beam pattern.
theyre not bad. the HIDs are high beams (i thought itd be low as well), and the low beams are basically the same as stock. the fog lights need to be pointed down a little more, but it doesnt help that its lifted. other than that theyre not bad at all.

thanks for the compliments guys!

Wow, you really put some money into it. Those lights are awesome! Gotta admit I'm jealous.....
They look pretty good at first, but they SUCK!

I've got the same ones. The projectors literally fell out of the pivot point and just point at the ground all the time and when they did work the light pattern was crap. The wiring is crap. The LEDs sometimes don't work. The Halos sometimes don't work. The bottom lights always got a little condensation in them, but in the last couple of months, I noticed it getting a lot worse and there's some pitting starting on the reflector. I think I'm going to clear my stock lights and go with that this summer. :yup:

Here's mine



Get the Silverstar turnsignals. They look soooo much better! :yup:

oh, great, that sounds wonderful. we'll see how things go i suppose.

yeah, i was thinking of changing the turn signals, i was thinking of those stealth chrome one instead, however. the ones that are chrome on the outside but light up amber. jcwhitney and i think stylintrucks has them. those silverstars look good to though (i assume thats what you have in there now). do yours light up blue tho? that might change things a little bit.

Ya, maybe if you seal them up with some aquarium seal, (I hear that works good) they won't leak, if you have the problem.

I've got the Silverstars in my truck and in my Saturn (in my avatar to the left <----). I love the look and they light up amber, and very amber at that. They have a subtle difference to them over stock amber bulbs, a sort of clairity, I guess. It's funny now that my Saturn is my sister's car, I'll see her drive around at night sometimes and I can always tell it's my old car, by how nice and bright the headlights are. It's got Silverstars for the headlights and turnsignals. You never get to see that stuff when you're the driving it. :eek:
