New Headlights
So anyway broke a front parking light on my truck this week but hey that's ok because I have been wanting to upgrade my headlights anyway. I've been doing a lot of research both on here and off site not having too much luck. I saw quite a few posts on here for after market headlights with links to Ebay which don't work anymore so I couldn't check them out. Then I found these but everyone says the stock lights are way better and pulled them.

Found a guy on here that installed Spyder projectors but he wasn't happy with them after having them awhile. Would prefer an upgrade without halo or projectors like my girlfriend has in her third gen. Yes I know they have two bulbs not one like mine but I like the crystal clear lens they have and the brightness. If I had to use any maybe these halo's says they will fit my truck but a little confused because they appear to have two bulbs.Not real familiar with halos...

So any way does anyone have any that they have installed that they actually LOVE???? Anyone???

i had k2 motor ones the look decent from a far let me find some pics. at night look good but nothing is stock i changed and added everything from the hallos to the bulbs to parking lights to the light bar that was a joke on top. originaly it was a hunk of plastic thick enough to use as a plenium plate with a lil 194 wedge b behind it.

I LOVE my ebay projectors that i have. I did upgrade to hids as well though.. The ebay projectors were put together crappy so i put an extra seal of clear sylicone over them and had to switch a wire around in order to get the highs to work correctly but i would not replace them with anything else and i think they look great. And the ebay hid kits for like $40 were a pretty good deal, i havent had any of the ballasts or bulbs fail and i have had them for a year, but depending on reviews the cheap hid kits are kind of hit and miss as far as them working well.

Among many problems I have read about the cheapies, one of them is adjustment. I live near Stylin Trucks in Cleveland. They sell Anzo Headlights. I talked to their sales department and they said the Anzo lights are fully adjustable, but they have a hefty price tag. Here is the link to the Ram's headlight's at Stylin Trucks, they come in Chrome or Smoked:

I bought a set of lights off ebay too, and can't say im completely thrilled with the results. Yeah the truck looks cool, but im more for funcationality than looks... although they do have the cool leds :P
I was disapointed in the reflector. I don't think they give the light pattern or output they should imho. Also, since these are non adjustable, I did have to put shims on one side to match the other.
If I had to do it all over again, I probably would buy stock replacements and do it right.
