Replaced all the cab lights with pure white LED's, put some 6x9 Planet Audio speakers in the doors, and about 3 hours ago I installed an 8000K Iceberg Blue HID headlights kit. Also replaced my turn signals with LED's and added blue-ish running lights. My taillights I ordered off eBay for $115 should be coming in either tomorrow or Friday, which are LED's as well. (Having aftermarket headlights and stock taillights looks silly).
Overall, I've had a pretty productive week. Hopefully I can get all the kinks worked out performance-wise with my truck. Next week I'll be doing some engine and exhaust work. Replacing the manifold and piping system entirely with Dorman headers, Flowmaster 40 muffler, complete with dual Magnaflow pipes.
And lastly, I'm going to head to a local junkyard where I can pick up a replacement tailgate since some dumbass in a large truck must have backed into me while I was in Walmart.
