HIDs look great in the projectors on these trucks. I wish they came stock with HIDs.

haha thank you guys. Hell yea sir John, $50k truck and no HIDs? Not like it is 2003 and the technology is new... anyway, just wanted to tell you guys get zip ties ready or be prepared to make holes to attach the ballast, also the resistors is supposed to get really hot, it's recommended not to be put in any plastic but doesn't come with any bracket to attach it.. I'll have to open them up to seal the little holes in the back of the headlight cover, and to double check everything is still in place with the zip ties, I threw in some metal zip ties just in case too.

Quick couple notes on this one

The black canbus adapters, they don't get hot - can be mounted anywhere. And.....I normally don't drill in the dust cap for the projector lights, just lay the wires over the lip and let the cap "reseal".

Ahhhh!!! I was going to ask! Believe it or not I was able to stuff everything inside the headlight! Lol good to know, thank you sir! I'll order some new caps and stuff everything inside. Thanks again!

If you are able to find the caps can you link me or give me a part #?? dealers say they only come with the assemblies

What wattage and K did you go with?

When I got mine I cut a section out for the wires to come through. Stupid me I wasn't thinking when I cut one of them and cut it so the wires came out the top of the dust cap.. needless to say I had crazy fogging issues. However my dealer replaced the headlamp for me so all was good! Lol

It pays to have a good relationship with your dealer!

I think they are right bud, we are out of luck there. I cutted them following the video over at the retroshop website, but guess that's an old video, or doesn't apply to the projectors anyway.

Damn, lucky. I have no fogginess yet but it has only been a few days, I drilled one in the back and the other cut a bit too, on the actual headlight so the cables cane through. No way I can explain that to the dealer. lol I'll just look for a way to seal them up.

Haha yep I cut the actual headlamp apart too! I was very surprised they replaced it because it was completly my fault!

If it starts to fog, dry it out and silicone where you cut. They shouldn't though because on my new one I cut it (again lol) and have never had an issue.

Jeremy is saying don't cut, just law the wires over the lip and replace the cap. That's what im going to try I don't like the idea of cutting anything on my brand new truck especially while it is under warranty. Id be willing to bet those factory projectors cost about a grand a piece to replace if they start to fog up....im going to lay mine over seal the cap up mount externally and pray for no issues.

If I had known I could do that when I did mine I would have. I put mine in back when the instructions said to cut it lol.

Yeah they are $800 each in Canada. I would imagine cheaper in the US
