I'm usually not a fan of white vehicles jigabop, but that is a very nice looking truck. As for that other white truck with the 3rd gen front, it doesn't fit right with the rest of the curves and contours of the 2nd gen's. I like the 3rd gen's but not enough to change mine. There are 50 different kinds of lights front and back for these trucks, surely there must be one out there you'd compromise for.
my truck is not as clean or all the same color heh

Lol I'm not a fan of white vehicles either, but that truck was just too sexy to pass up when I first saw her. Sexy sport body, that pic was when I first got the truck. Came with those wheels and tires, heated charcoal leather, 6spd and cummins, dana 80 posi rear, 2" lvl, fell in love first time I drove it.
And now its got more agressive km2 tires on it, in dash navigation, over double the hp and tq it started with, and too much other stuff to list.
Back to topic I was never a fan of aftermarket headlights like those, their beam patterns and light output are absolute garbage. Best thing you can do if you want projectors is get sport headlights and retrofit acura TL projectors into them. Its a bit of work, but best projector beam pattern you can get, and far brighter than any aftermarket lights. Retro-solutions sells the projectors. You will have to bake the headlights in an oven to heat the glue to get the lens off, then fab and attach projectors, make sure they are level, and rebake lights again to reglue lens back on it. And unlike aftermarket, tl lenses are oem and designed specifically for HID bulbs. So you will get a perfect beam pattern that is insanely wide and bright, and you won't blind other drivers because they have the proper cut offs.

Yes I would not have passed that up either.. My headlights look alright and looks good at night but the lows suck as much as stock. I bought better bulbs and waiting for them to arrive. I have some good driving lights mounted under the bumper, if it weren't for those I'd depend on the street lights here. I think eventually I will switch to sport lights. I think I still like those better than anything else.
