Thanks Scott, loud and clear, lol. Wondering why they would make them like that since, like you said, the point of fogs is to light up the road right in front.

A sneak-peek at the new color ring/shield and hopefully lenses.

Chauncey gets the credit for inspiring this :Handshake::

Last pic for the night. Projectors are pretty much ready, just need to get some sealant and put them back together. Still haven't gotten the Denali lights or HID bulbs, so it's not even going to be completed this weekend, but I got a lot of the tedium done. This isn't the final product, but imagine the ring around the lens in the pic below. I think it's going to look pretty good:

I'm going to have one light that is basically all of the little mistakes along the way, and one that is more or less mistake free. I chipped one of the lenses on the edge, too. That will be very interesting to see with the HID in because that could completely screw it up.

One reassembled....needs some touchup on the paint. Chipped some off the ring putting it back on. All in all it came out well. Just have the other one to put together. Then I need my actual lights so I can start fitment work.

I got the Denali fogs today. Things, of course, aren't going to fit just right. I'm going to have to think about how to do the retro.

:weld::buffer: Alright, I can squeeze as much of the projector lens as possible through the halo or take the halo out entirely and fill the gap around the projector with something else. My projector is just a touch too big to fit perfectly in the old projector's hole. I think I can pretty easily fab the projectors onto the brackets of the housing, but there's going to be a gap to fill in with something. Taking ideas. Don't really care if I take the halo's out...they're cheapos anyway and would probably die within a few months.

I was thinking some black CF. Buuuuttt...my retrofitting buddy is really good at making LED halos and strips look badass, so I might hit him up for a custom job. Dammit. Nothing is ever simple.....

One ring of "white" LED's for a typical halo, with a switchback-type effect for some unique turn signals??

Gaaahh. Too many ideas....make it stop....

No. My truck is not a Christmas tree. :p

FINALLY got my HID bulbs. I think I'm done with DDM after this, though. Took two weeks to get, not because they took a while to send them, but because they came straight from China. Box was pretty well crushed along the way, too. The plastic bulb protectors did their job...think they are the only reason the bulbs survived the trip. Anyway, I just don't like doing business with China directly, so that's the last time I'll order from DDMtuning. It's been fun.
