05 GMC Yukon XL Build

[Echodawg]

Finally got around to mounting my ASUS Eee PC 900HA netbook. I ended up using a Ram Tough Tray II plus two Ram-B-101U mounts that I bolted together. There is a huge amount of flexibility with this setup due to the ball mounts. All of this was bolted down to the center console.

I also mounted a Cobra 18 WX ST II. I had an empty cubby on the console that it fit in with just a bit of trimming. I still need to wire it up but that will have to wait until I get my rear tire carrier so I can mount my antenna.

Yes, they are the black aftermarkets and I will be taking them off. Sure they look good during the day but their light pattern at night is terrible. Poor lighting and a uneven light pattern. I paid about $130 for them. I wouldn't suggest buying them but thats just my two cents.

If you are looking for some black after markets that actually preform, I have an extra set with xenon projectors in them, instead of the 9005 ones

hmmm i might just be interested. they are for my daily driver witch is a black z71 so its something Im doing mainly for looks but i don't want them to be any worse than my stock lights. are you selling the projectors? or where can i get some? any pics?

They are complete headlights, but you would need to get a set of ballasts, I'm not too sure if i have any more left.

I have having trouble having the pictures show up, here's a link to some of them.
