You're welcome. Have you checked to see if your truck is pre-wired for fog lights? If it is, that could be your next project.

I've never checked. Where would I check? I've always wanted to put some lights behind my grille, but I'm a total retard when it comes to wiring and stuff, took me a whole day just to wire my sub and amp lol.

You'd be looking for a connector behind the bumper, on the outside of the frame with a black and orangish brown wire running to it. I was already wired for them, so it was just a matter of finding the set of lights I wanted. I then just plugged the power and ground wires for the lights into the factory connectors. Here's what it (well, they, since there's one on each side) will look like:

Are you wanting to add some auxiliary running lights or some off-road lighting?

Running lights you can just tie into your stock running like harness. For off-road lights if they didn't come with their own separate harness then let me know im usually pretty good with this stuff.

Yeah just running lights. So it's pretty simple?

What are some more super easy, super cheap mods? I need some ideas. Thinking about painting my radio bezel and the door bezels around the hands white. How labor intensive would that be?

Still planning on upgrading everything for +06, but for now I just want some more cheap things to do.
