Quick question... i posted already under "ordered a new led dome light". You guys think a blacked out looking light or a cleared look would be better for the headlights? If needed i could post a pic of the ones i like again.
Well the smoked headlights look pretty awesome. I was contemplating myself if I should get them, but it's a good amount of money for just headlights. The main headlight part and the clear corner doesn't seem to look very good together, since the clear corner don't have any weird patterns in the lens or weird reflectors in them.

However, I actually like the stock headlights as one set. I like the design of the parking lights. I'd recommend the smoked lamps, but I honestly have no idea since I've heard mixed reactions with the one piece setup. If it were me, I'd just figure out a way for it to work, no problem to me....I like fabrication work.

Sounds good man, just sucks up here in the fact that there are NO stores. Nothing, no walmart, one road that leads to nowhere and a tiny airport. So pretty much everything i need has to be ordered and has to be delivered either by usps or ups. Fedex doesn't even ship here! Anyways, quick question.
On my truck to two holes on the bottom dont pop out and i would have to cut them out to put lights down there. Did you have to do this as well? If so was it easy and how did you mount them in there?

Thanks man and i like the truck!

If you cut them out you would have to make your own mounting brakets for the fogs. Yours is like mine and doents have the plastic housing in the bumper to mount them. shouldnt be hard though.
