Default New Headlights and Photoshop Fun

OK got my new headlight fixtures in last night. Installed them this morning since I'm working from home today. I also took a pic of a Sprinter cargo van from dodge's website and did a quicky fab of what I want mine to look like someday . I'm actually very impressed with the fixtures I bought. The lights fit very snug in them and they form to the body very well. It was a bit of a pain to install only because my bull guard makes it so hard to get to the mounting screws, but the fixtures themselves I like.

They look pretty good but that grey stripe just JUMPS out at you just like on the stocks. Def a much better look than the stocks though Jimbo.

They look alot better than stock with your black truck. If the grey bothers you a simple fix is black trim tape. its about 1.25 " wide so you could cut off excess and the color would match your bull bar, semi gloss. The tape is what alot of cars have around windows and door trim. Anyways the new lights look good

Lookin good, the grey stripe isn't as bad with your color, keeps with the monochrome theme you have at the front.

I've been looking at a set like that for my black CC. Can I ask where youfound them? Are they the Dodge OEMs off the Night Raider or the aftermarket lamps like the ones on Ebay?Thanks

Thanks! At least I didn't call it Nightrider. :/ That oughta **** off the Hasslehoff fans. Are there any?Haha

Anyway, the ones I've seen on Ebay are supposedlymade by Sabersport. I just thought they looked 'cheaper' than the OEM ones from Dodge. At half the price though ($169.00 + S+H) it's hard to be too critical. I've seen the OEM ones priced around $360. []

Thanks again for the info.
