Default opinions of headlights.

So I need to get my left lamp replaced, and I figured might as well keep my options open. I was lookin around and found these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-04...spagenameZWDVW

I'm a little bit skeptical about them tho. I mean they are a new, unique look, but I'm not sure if they'd be appealing for my truck. I was also lookin at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-04...spagenameZWDVW

was wondering what you guys think?

they need some modding of the bracket to fit, once you do that they can fit great,
i just have some damage behind my right headlight that keeps me from bolting them up right
they look/work great, but you do need to do some wiring to get them to work,

You should get a picture of the left side so we can see how it looks not half sticking out lol.

I'm sure I'll be able to get em to fit right. My current left one doesn't fit right anyway. I think it was in an accident before I bought the truck. Anyway...how they look like lit up?

Halo lights always look sexy. Especially at night time. I have a set of the other kind of halo ones. They look amazing. And the light that they give off from the low beam is almost like another high beam. I have the projection ones, haven't used my high beams in a long time.

I would just go with the 2 piece diamond clear head lights. unless you can get the 1 pieces to line up perfect (which alot of people cant do) then they look like crap.

My halo's that I bought line up perfectly. No modding needed at all. Direct fit.
