I bought my replacement headlights and such from them, they were exact copies of the stock units, might even be by the same manufacturer...... came with bulbs (don't think they do that any more) fit right in, had the correct factory adjusters, and were great quality. They have been on my truck for several years now, and I still like them.

I haven't received mine yet, I'll give an opinion when I do though...I bought both headlights with side markers and new grill as a package deal for $114.50...

I would have posted from my phone earlier today but I couldn't change the characters for the text and it was Arabic or something... I did receive my lights and grill, the lights look good though the actual lenses were slightly different than the OEM. I'm talking about the light refracting patterns on the lense, thought it was a reject but after looking at my OEM lenses they too are different than each other so no big deal I guess, too busy at work to install them yet.The lights came with the driving light bulbs installed, I wasn't expecting them so that's cool... Everything was packaged very well but my grill had one top mounting tab broken clean at the bottom and the other upper side tab broke but not separated, I just super glued it and plan on putting a layer of fiberglass on each tab to reinforce them, they seem brittle and light and I have the materials handy. It came wrapped in bubble wrap and eps foam blocks about 1" tall to protect the tabs, they needed to be 1.5" to fully protect the tab, all that in a box that didn't show any damage or evidence of crush. The chrome plastic exterior looks great...
I should add that communication with AM-Autoparts.com was very good and they offered to replace the grill but it seemed easier for me to just fix it, no big deal once it's on it won't be seen and I don't have to worry about my grill flying off.

That was my take on it as well. Made the job easier, just swapping EVERYTHING out.

The AM lights have yellowed or the stock ones?

I just noticed moisture in my driver's assy only after 20 years of use. Not bad. But I'm not getting junk. Shoot, I'll spring for OEM if they're still under 200 and much better than aftermarket. Wait. . . is that what AM is? AfterMarket? ugh
