Default Head lights

Hey there. i was just wondering if anyone has used the 'black' headlights that you can find on ebay for our trucks. they are about $100 and i was lookin into them. do they work good anyone have some pictures? here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-01...QQcmdZViewItem
also has anyone tried the HID kit off ebay? would it work with the different headlight casings above? here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-05...QQcmdZViewItem

i know lots of questions.. but i wanna find stuff out before i buy garbage of off ebay. Thanx!

dunno anything about tha head light assy...looks good lol

however the hid's wont work in there, you would need a sport head light assy(dual bulbs) for those hids to work as they are only low beam, if you put them in you will only have low beam lights, nothing for high beam

HID's would work in those, you just wouldent have high beams... but the way I look at it your getting better light and you may not have a need for your high beams, just aim them a little higher to even it out.

If you are going to buy new headlights to put hid's in I would recommend getting ones with projectors... HID's dont work as good in regular lights as they do in projectors.

ok they might technically work, but why would anyone want to take out working high and low beam to replace it with just low beam....when you can get a 9004 hid conversion kit that will give you high and low beam

besides i doubt they would work at all with out ****** rigging them, the connector on the ballast where you would plug in the factory plug is most likely 9005 or 9006 style not 9004 like is in the truck

I actually just bought those and installed them. They look great on my black truck. They even come with new rubber weatherstripping that goes between them and the hood. They installed in about 10 minutes in the freezing rain. I'll post some pics for ya later. Mine even have some smoked lenses.

I like the headlights, even if they do look a tad ricerish. I would rock them I think. The hid kit, like previously stated would need to be a dual beam. I would consider getting them for my fogs though. They would be handy.
