got all that? if not, get them,if so, onto the fun.

First you need to pop the hood, we need to do this to pull off the headlights.
You will see 3 screws holding the headlight in.

Once you get those 3 screws out you will have to pull the headlight out of the truck. There is a ball that locks into a socket and it takes some force to get it out.

once you get the light out, its on to the fun stuff.

We have to hook the load resistors up, and it isnt bad, so dont worry.
What you have to do is hook up one T tap to one side of the light, and another to the other.
here is a pic for reference.

you are going to hook them up to the outside wires... its easy.

Then you plug in the light. it has a right and wrong way. but if you put it in wrong, it wont turn on. so plug it in and hit the switch. if it turns on, your good. if not, pull it out and turn it around.

Now you just need to tape up your wire mess and clean it up a little. I taped my load resistors to the headlights to get them out of the way...


now put the headlights back on and enjoy.

yayyy we're all so proud of you eric!:D another one joins the LED family!

thats awesome, glad your happy...i got my taillight covers in from autozone today...they ordered it for the 2nd gen[:@]...another 2 days till i get the right ones, hopefully....and hopefully my borla exhaust will be sittin on my pourch in an hour when i get home

I love the way these suckers look... it was only a matter of time... lol

I cant wait till its dark for some night pics. :-D

I'll stick with my silverstars thank you. Be careful when pulling the headlight out I broke the long plastic piece that goes into a hole in the body.

Did you take the cover out of your marker? Mine has like a hat that sits over the bulb

Mine doesnt have a "hat" either did frenchys...
And Pro4X4, thats cool, I looked at the silverstars. They werent bright enough for me. Besides the LEDs will last 2-3 times longer and consume less energy. :-D

i really do love my silverstar turn signals. i wouldnt be opposed to the leds though. main reason i got these over leds is bc it was a 2 second install and well, thats the main reason. when the burn out, i probably will turn to leds...the silverstars compared to the stockers look 100x's better when off and when on...i would explain them as a deeper, darker, more vibrant orange...and yes, no hat on the turns, but i do have a hat on my drivers lights...those are silverstars also

and thats right, you better get night shots tonight!

yup, I will... it sucks that it doesnt get dark till like 9:30 now... lol

I like the fact that my turns are not amber anymore...

Now I am just waiting for my headlights to come in. then I will be good to go with what I have. then I only have 1 more set of lights for the front.

Anyone have a link to the fire/ice bar?

Ok, i had to go out and even double check myself. And i took the camera with me.

See.... Im not Crazy!

Mine has the hat too...

Eric, I've heard that those load resistors get very hot over time and shouldn't be mounted to plastic. You may want to check your lights after a while and make sure the resistors aren't melting the plastic.

yeah, I am actually thinking about mounting them to the frame rail... but I have to extend the wire and I dont have any laying around. I will do it permanantly when I get my 8500K headlights later this week/weekend...

here are some night pics...

mine had the hat too, but i took it off...stuck some plyers in there, and yanked it until the plastic broke, and then puled it out of the housing. You do have to be careful pulling the fixture out, I broke one of the things too, but oh well, doesn't effect the appearance of the truck.

jimbo, where did you mount your resistors?

I thin kthe 05s had the hats... and 06+ don.t

Sorry I didn't call you earlier Eric, I lost my phone, and just checked my voicemail through my house phone....

Sorry...... :-\

Dang, them things look pretty cool :D

i used some of that heavy duty 3M mounting tape and put them on the frame behind the fixture, there's a part of the frame that looks like it curves down, perfect for mounting things to it. I mounted my entire HID kit there too

3m heavy duty double sided adhesive....

I did the same thing as Jimmmmmmmmmmmmmmy boy over yonder done gone and did.

dude i love that tape, it does everything! the only thing it didn't do was mount my GPS too well. From getting up to like 120 degrees inside and sticking to black on my CD bezel it didn't like the heat. That's where LockTite came in and did the job right!

I went ahead and used some black glue from the hot glue gun... its supposed to hold up to heat after I hit it with some zip kicker... I also got my 8500K headlights in today. I love it when stuff is waiting for me when I get home from work. Pics to come when it gets dark out.

huray, get some pics man, im excited....but .i love it too, but i work 5 miles up the road from my house...i like when its waitin when i come check durring lunch...i hate waitin that extra 6 hours to see if it came today or not[8D]

I am wishing it didnt take till 10pm to get dark out now...

Now that the front is almost done, time to look at the tails and maybe a fire/ice bar.

if you dont mind me askin, where did you get your hid's and how much did you pay (including resistors ect) and are the highs only or high/low combo? do you plan on getting any for your fogs?

reason asking is bc i know a guy that can get me hids...high/low combo (resistors ect included) and hids for our fog lights...all at any temp i want, including shipping, for i believe it was 525....is that outrageous or is that a fair price? that is with a discount from being a member or ls1tech.com

Mine actually arnt true HID... they are the "xenon" lights from ebay... When I priced them out for high/lows with the installation set it was like 550... so it seems like a normal price to me.

ah ha, well after you post up pics, and if you dont mind, can you provide a link to the kind you bought off ebay...there are a few kinds on there

$525 is pretty outrageous....I paid I think $250 for mine and it came with all of the parts needed to hook them up to my system. You can buy capacitors, at 10,000uF that will allow you to turn them on when the truck is running. I just decided not to, then turn them on before i start the truck. They run great, no flickering or anything.

wait, did you mean $525 for both head and fog? well, maybe it isn't too outrageous, but still if you went with the people i did, you could get them for $500[sm=icon_blah.gif]...$25...no biggy i guess...

its almost dark enough to take some pics... but not yet... They are pretty bright though.

ok, some night pics...

Sorry they arnt good pics. but my camera is a little older. (2003 it was new... lol)

Looks sweet man, I'm leaning towards the led turns now. What brand are the headlights you got? I've been debating getting HID's or buying some Luminics Ultra Whites for the headlights and fogs.

some people say, save your money, go with ultra bright halogens, other people like me are solid believers in HIDs. I personally went with the HID headlights, and for my fogs I bought a pair of Hella Optilux projection foglights, came with hyper yellow bulbs (not HID) and they are bright, perfect for fog lights!

jimbo, im a little confused by your post. you have to turn on your lights before you start your truck? also, are yours a high/low combo or one or the other? i heard a lot of hid kits are one or the other...is there a write up on this so i am not shocked when i see what i am getting myself into later...id like to learn more about these before i take the plunge...i like to research my product before i purchase, ya know?

Nightrunner, HID kits are a little work to get installed. Thats kinda why I went with these.

They are plenty bright for me... My only question will be if people will ever stop flashing me while my dims are on... lol
