Projector Head Lights!
Got my projector headlights in today and wired them up with some modification and trial and error and ill tell you these things are amazing! I love them they give the truck a menacing look and are going to be a major head turner. Check them out, lemme know what you you think.

Yeah. I've been looking for replacement lights because mine are yellowed and not very bright even with Silverstar bulbs. Been relying on fog lights when using low beams, but I keep breaking the filaments in my fog bulbs on rough terrain...
Definitely putting these on my fix/mod list

Every aftermarket set out there seems to have gaps. The ones I've finally settled on (not projectors) are the best I've tried yet, but still slight gaps. The gap on the bottom of my lights is mostly due to the bumper being slightly off, not necessarily the lights.
Those will suck at night. They are designed 99% for looks, 1% for performance. Good thing you have fogs to help at night, otherwise you'd be almost blind.
A good set of Sport-type lights, either the official ones are single bulb versions like mine, are best if you want aftermarket.
If you want original-type bulbs, go for GE Nighthawks or Philips TruVision. O'Reillys carries them both, IIRC. They beat Sylvania Ultra SilverStars and SilverStars hands down. Trust me, I've tried each set. Only reason I don't use the Nighthawks or Philips is I wanted a more white-ish set.
If you are like me and prefer white, the HID conversions are nice, or you can use high wattage bulbs like Eurolites or Farenheights (sp?). Not sure who makes the latter, they were recommended to me by a friend but I haven't tried them. The Eurolites are made by Toucan Industries, a really good bulb maker. The units I run are 100w highs, 80w lows. The original wattages are 65w highs, 45w lows. To do this safely, you have to rewire your bulbs to use relays.
Even if you go the HID route, you may still have to use new wires and relays. Dodge used really small gauge wire, 16 I believe, for all their lighting stuff. To small.
