I would but that sucker is HUGE & very heavy so shipping would be a PITA. If you were local I'd say come pick it up!

I have LED bulbs in mine, both low and high beam.

The low beam and how deep the bulbs are for thier fan stick out far enough that I don't run the rear cap. The light is also a bit scattered, its not too bad and I don't get flashed by oncoming traffic. I have had the D2 just over the hood in water briefly and didn't flood the lights.

On the high beam side was able to keep the rear cap in and the light output is awesome. Really happy here.

At some point I am gonna open up my lights and retro fit in projectors for the low beam side. Will stick with LED and pick a projector that is both low and high. Means on high beam I'll have the stock runs running too. I also have a LED light bar on front bumper relayed with the high beams.

Fogs are LED too. If I remember right they for an Infiniti or Lexus fitment but they went great in fog light mounts.

Back up lights in high output LEDs and really do a much better job lighting things up.

THAT'S AMAZING! Id love to have a good led setup. Hopefully I plan to restore a few things on my truck. I've got to get leather dye to help get rid of some fading, I gotta get a radiator hose assembly, and I am upgrading to a brass T fitting, and eventually a metal radiator! So Much to do! I heard they have a 160 degree thermostat for our trucks. Is this true?

I've heard of 180. 160would cause issues.

I believe the computer compensates air fuel mixture the colder the truck gets.

so in your opinion should I leave the factory thermostat in as it still works or make the switch? I cleaned the radiator with a wire brush and mild cleaner but I can get to the two extra radiators in between the condenser. What are those Transmission coolers. I’ll probably take it to a wash station to blast wash it through everything!
