rig002 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hello guys I want to replace my tail lights and head light kit for the newer ones that are black or smoke finished with regular or LED's bulbs. What do you guys recomend? Also post some pics of them if on your pathy. At the same time i'm still looking for answer on wheel spacers, i want to make the truck a bit wider looking i am in between 1", 1.25" or 1.50". But i dont know if i have to replace the studs to longer ones with the 1.50" what do guys recomend? Also post some pics of the spacers how they look on your pathy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) i dont have spacers but i have black headlights and smoked taillights that i did myself if u have any questions i will help u if u need. I Still have the black headlights i made in my Sig pic if your interested. And if u go to led in the taillights u will have to have some kind of resistor unless u make sure u can get bulbs that have them otherwise u will have faults in your electrical system Edited March 5, 2013 by shoesandsocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The way I installed my spacers I used the OEM lug nuts to secure the spacer to the hub. The spacers came with their own lug nuts to secure the wheel with. If you go too narrow on the spacer the OEM lug nuts may rub the wheel. I believe 1.25" is the narrowest you can go. I have 1.50" spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rig002 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Stioc Thanks for the pics they look good. Do you have any vibrations on any speed? are they hub or lug nut centric spacers? if i may ask where did you buy them? Can i see your tire in reference with the fender on a pic? Sorry if i bother Bro, just wanna make sure before any mistake. Btw all that you did is correct on the install. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
