Yeah tell me about it. Had custom interior and engine work done too it. Heard the guy talking with someone about it. Dude must have won a lawsuit or something. Was walking with a cane, but had to set it down to load the air compressor he just bought in the back...

I looked at this same thing, still considering it but my truck is 4000 miles away at the moment. Let us know how it works if you do it! I think it would look great, the only alternative for me is tacking lights on to the bumper or a big brush guard neither of which I am a fan of.

Here is what I ended up with, a set of the Rigid dually D2 led driving lights. I really wanted the led light bar but thought these would be more versatile in a number of different mounting locations. I have a denali grill and am going to mount the lights behind it. After I get the everything installed and wired up I'll post more pictures.

Finished up the lights, here are a few pictures. Will add some night time shots later tonight after it gets dark. More pictures and information below for those that care or want to do this for themselves.
I first mounted the lights behind the grill but didn't like how it turned out so moved them to the fog light location. Behind the grill would work great if someone wants to run a light bar. Think you could easy fit up to a 30". My truck came with factory fogs so I purchased a set of blanks. Cut square holes in the blanks the size of the lens of the led lights. Took the face plate off the led light and picked up some longer screws to account for the additional thickness of the blank. The lights are solidly mounted in the blanks and also attached secondarily from behind. The factory valence required very slight trimming to accommodate the depth of the led light housings. The led lights come with their own harness and switch but I retained the factory switch/wiring since the factory fogs are already fused. Picked up a 5202 bulb adaptor harness to use to plug into the factory wiring and wired in the rigid plug to attach to the led lights. If anyone is looking to do this I'm happy to answer any questions to help out. Here are some various pictures I took along the way.
