Default Aftermarket Headlights and Taillights

I hit one of my taillights with my trailer accidentally awhile back and busted it out, so I'm looking for some new ones. I don't want to go back to the stocker look and would like something else. I really don't like the euro style. I just want something clean, and in fact, if they made some LED style stockers, I think I would like that. Just looking for an upgraded look without the look of euro lights. I would also like to replace my headlights as well just to clean up the look of my truck. They're old and yellowed, and I'd just like something new. I saw some Halos on eBay awhile back, and they looked nice. Does anyone have those? How's the brightness? Just looking for some suggestions. Any help is much appreciated.

I am looking at doing the front and rears also. My headlights are yellow and I also have a broken rear light.

I emailed a company on EBay and the respoce he gave me was very little knowlede of the product. I have a Sport and they could not tell me if the headlights would fit.
I was looking at these for the front:

I thought I saw some smoked LED tails on EBay that didn`t look bad.

I was looking at these for the rear:

I broke my tail light well, the trim it only put a crack in the lense part. I ended up leaving it for a little bit and when I got around to replacing it the only aftermarket option I found I really liked were the TYC ones which were pretty expensive. I ended up just replacing it with a stock one from the dealer.

I bought a set of clear headlights off of ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=130237316566

I like them. They are much brighter than my old stockers but the light pattern is not quite as good as the stock headlights. They just don't spread the light out as much. I still prefer them over the old headlights, though.

I'm pleased with the light output now that I have the new headlights (with Silverstars), newer style fogs, and the KCs.

Just ordered a pair of headlight assemblies for $55.10 each. OEM replacements. Not sure if we can post commercial links or not?
Anyone know anyplace to get a set of OEM fog lights for a 97 Ram?

eBay.

Otherwise, you may get these newer (designed for 1999-2001) Ram fog lights to work just fine, but you can't use the included switch (since it changed in 1999).
