Is that price for Volvo style bulbs(I see a Volvo in your avatar)? Or for a 4 square headlight system like the K-dubs use?

LOL Brick, i was like damn you must have a tall OD gear.

Eskino you can get ebay HID kits and hook em up to a normal 100w bulb, will work fine. Volvo lights are $$$ but im sure they are marking them up 500%.

Thats the price for bulbs and wires and a regulator, if you want it to work properly you will need projector light housing ( optional ). I have them on my focus svt the truck does not have them yet but they are on my wish list. That price is through a dealer but you can find them on the web for cheaper and better yet Ebay.

You've got cool blue

And halogen silverstar. These are the ones that do not last on my truck. I love how much they light up the road, but they just don't last.

I don't know what else F/T would mean

no a bad looking truck, Ilove those dashes and I like that it's not an ultra cab.

Tell them to put low profile rubber on it (lighter) then bring those tires to me and I'll give you the bang board



After reading more of the post and going back and looking at it those are definatly low profile tires not 11R's. actually they look like 22.5's too not 24.5 often those salesmen don't know there butt from a hole in the ground and they just refill those forms that had other trucks listed and never change the info. can't trust most of them

I would have this poor white boy's ride paid off a couple times over in a season.


If it sounds too good to be true it usually always is.
just remember it's like 4 times more expensive to live or stay in Alaska then where you do now
