went with the diamond 7x6 headlight houseing off ebay (about 40$shipped) and H4 10000k (blue) HIDs from Xtentec, off ebay aswell (about 60$ shipped) the houseings look great and fit great, the bulbs were all plugg an play very easy and work great too.took me about 40 mins start to finish an only took a phillips screw driver.
I put blue strob lights in the marker light spot that the houseings offer, havent wired yet but will get some pics up soon.
side note..i didnt go with Bi Xenon light set up,dont really need hi beams but would be nice to have them.

roof rack
ok so i just got those yakima bars and already there up for sale,After making my roof rack/basket i didnt like them so im back to the stock ones for now. anyways,I made this outta conduit useing the same plans as (WARTHOG)a guy on here.(thanks for the parts list)
i made mine as big as i could,58W X 72L X 6H. I didnt how ever use the 3/4pipe as a bushing a just used a coupler and had it tacked it to make sure they didnt come apart, an i only used one box of self tapping screws. plus i had to add 4 more sticks of 1/2in for the floor bars becuase of the size dif. And i used 6x18in pieces of sheet metal for the corners not diamond plate due to cost.you also might want to pick up a few drill bits(I BROKE 8) In total this build cost me 130.00$ minus paint. and took 2 days
you will need
four 10' pieces of 1" emt conduit (Rails)
three 10' pieces of 1/2" emt conduit (floor)
about 8' of 1/4" x 1" aluminum strip (supports)
2 boxes of self tapping screws
3' of 3/4" galvanized steel pipe (for bushings) from plumbing section
1" Tube bender (rent)
four 1" u bolts (to mount)
2 pieces of thin 12" x 24" diamond plate (optional)
over all it worked out very well looks good and dose the job i need it to do so im super happy!!!!!!
sorry i forgot to take pics along the way

Wow. Your hood vents look just like what I was dreaming about earlier. I was wondering if anyone had used regular floor vents from Home depot or whereever. And here that apperas to be what you used. Am I right? Nice Rig by the way!
