I didnt drive the truck out and get a good shot of the beam pattern, but you can already see it is awesome!

Here it shows that they pretty much match the DDM 5000k just fine :)

My old LED fogs are just garbage, simple measurement to compare, it is totally off!

I am so excited to drive them in the dark now!

Picked up my newly dipped carbon fiber interior trim. Yeah it looks like freaking checkers! Pissed off right now.

Nice mod! Where did you purchase the DDM 5000 K HID?

From a very nice special someone! Mike1220!! One of the ballast died right away though, so I bought another ballast locally, and it is working fine ever since.

 

Where did you get your fog lights from?

 

Here is my beam pattern and performance images:

I would like to add that I did not send him the HIDs that I had in my truck when they went out. When I originally purchased my HIDs, I purchased 2 complete sets (2 harnesses and 2 55W HIDs and ballasts) and of course about 3-4 weeks after I sent Morris my spare kit, the one in my truck started to give me trouble.

:driving: He sent me a working set, here is the history of the set's performance:

 

Upon first install with relay, it works every now and then, most of the time during drives, it flickers.

Fixed flicker by following another user on this forum by adding a 16v 4700uF capacitor in the relay harness inline

Shortly after, maybe a day, one of the ballast failed, so I was running my hylux 35w ballasts that did not require any relay harness

Found a local shop that sells 55w ballasts off the shelf, replaced it, working ever since! :)

 

Even though they are 2 completely different make ballasts, the new one I bought was a lot smaller than the DDM one, they seem to have the same output and the same warm up time

Swapped out my chrome grille for a color matched one, and also changed out the bow tie with a black and chrome one. I like the look with the white/black grille so much better.

The chrome grille is for sell...$175.00+shipping

Crafferty,

 

Any tips on removing those rear pieces...I tried but they did not seem to give way...I was afraid of breaking them.

not trying to steal his answer but if they are like the crew cab pieces, you just got to pull straight away from the door. I pulled mine off to paint them and I had to pull pretty hard. More than I wanted to as I thought for sure something was gonna break

Looks awesome. Where'd you get the grille? I'd love to do that with my tungsten metallic.

I got mine from a member on here that was selling it... But try looking at shopchevyparts.com, they have the color matched grilles for $245.99... That's where I was going to order mine from, but found one here instead..

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
