Ordered a new injector pigtail at work today. Also got a oem style exhaust manifold ordered from one of my warehouse. Super surprised we actually had some laying around. Picked up some relays for the headlights and load equalizers for the turn signals. Have a bunch of wiring to do. But I will have photo updates soon. lmk how you feel about the truck foolz

Are you going to use the stock headlight trim and put it back on them? Or fab up something on your own? I love the way they came out I just think they need a little refining to complete the look. Sorry if I missed that part. Your build is awesome man.

Appreciate the love. I wanted to make sure I could wire them up to the stock light switch before I bought two sets. So I'm going to make a bracket to mount them correctly. Then to clean up the look I'm going to get plexiglass and cover the light. I'm going to paint it black like a trim and it will keep them from getting rock chips. Kind of hard to explain. I will post pics of what I'm doing

Sweet, apparently tracking down a injector pigtail for my truck is impossible. Dingus

We sell the wrong one at my work, Oreillys, nissan doesnt sell them. All my local you-pull-it don't have them. Struggle. Probably just going to zip tie it down

I like the picture with the one side using the halogen bulb and the other side with the LED's. It kinda gives it that cyborg look.

Like the scene where half the terminators face is ripped off. Haha

[TheCrabMaster]

Bought new calipers to go with my new brake lines. Painted them gold before I even left work haha

Then a close up of my intake bracket I made.

Improved it by using a old coupler to tighten so it doesn't flop around and to give it a little play. I love going back to old ideas and improving them. Going to be work on the truck for the next 2 days so I should have more picture updates

[TheCrabMaster]

Small update. started making a mockup bracket out of handy dandy cardboard.


Then here's a shot of how I'm going to be running them. Low beam high beam

That's all for now. Got to drain the old gas out of the tank and do a couple other little things before I fire the engine up. Forgive the size of the pics my stupid phone won't let me edit them .

Love the creativity with the lights but curious how much output they produce at night. Excited to see this back on the road!

Yeah I'm sure they will atleast be better than the sealed beams haha. Will they be better than retrofitting a projecter/hid setup, nope but these look cool lol
