A few picture with some items for size reference. For those who are curious about how low the hotchkis suspension actually lowers the truck compared to stock ride height.

These are a few pictures of how to take off the stock headlights and put on Projector headlights...
*
*
*
*
First thing you have to do is remove the rubber flap on the side of the headlights, it just simple slides off.

*
*
*
*
Then the turn signal (the L shaped piece) has 1 star bit screw and then it slides away from the headlight. There are 2 turn signal bulbs and 1 corner marker light bulb.

*
*
*
*
*
To remove the headlight itself is a little more tricky. There are 3 bolts and 1 clip that hold the headlight in place. Here are a few pictures the best I could take of where the 3 bolts are located. After you remove the bolts there is 1 clip that is still holding the headlight on. What I did was take a hammer and banged the clip out from the back side. I don't have pictures of this though.

*
A few pictures of the bolts on the head lights while the bumper was off during the fog light install

*
*
*

Here are what the LED Halo Projector Headlights look like on the truck

*
*
This is how I went about installing Halo Fog Lights....
First thing you have to do is remove bumper. There are 8 bolts total, 2 on each side are on the under side of the bumper and 2 can be reached by opening the hood and looking down at them.

*
*
*
Then I took a 3-1/2" hole saw and cut a hole in the valence.
I cut the hole just big enough to slide the light through the front, but it is small enough that the fog light can not pass all the way through the valence.

*
*
*
Since my truck never had fog lights I chose to cut the harness off and wire the fog light to a switch, and wire the halos to the same switch that the Projector headlight halos are hooked up to.

*
*
*
Then I took L shape brackets and 3 nuts and 1 bolt on each side of the fog light. The L shaped bracket aloud me to adjust the fog light and insured it would not let the fog light fall out the front of the hole. Since the small hole will not allow the fog light to come through the hole and the L shaped brackets will not allow the fog light to come through the front, these lights aren't going anywhere.

*
*
*
And this is what they look like installed....

*
*
*
*
Here are 2 night pictures of the Halo rings light up

*
*
*
*
This is how I went about installing my upper and lower street scene grilles.... I used a Dremel to grind the plastic rivets off.

This is the Lower Valence installed

*
*
*
*

I took apart my Euro tail Lights and painted them black, a bit of a pain to do, but worth the work
