Don't do the bottom lights. Getting rid of the chrome inside the light reduces your amount of light output. Look for ones with the chrome bowl. But your truck looks pretty sweet with the black grille. Black lights would look even sicker.

the first set of lights look okay but the second one would definitely make your light less brighter. if you do get the second one, i would invest in some foglights (if you dont already have some) or maybe a black light bar for your bumper.

the more i look at the second set the less i like them. A little to plain for me. I think im gonna go with the first set or something similar when the time comes.

Those first ones look like they are projectors, so they would be even brighter. I would go with those ones, then get yourself a set of HIDs, and that would really light up at night.

Looks even better painting the silver rocker trim, btw.

Yeah, I have a Work Truck so mine had black bumpers already.

Meh im not to worried i took it stock and did fine only problem was crap tires and no clearence. Plus im not going to be going crazy. I'll just be hittin the trails with them and most the trails we ride theres always a way around the crazy hard stuff, and if theres not thats what tow straps are for lol. I'll be sure to get lots of pictures to show what a 2wd dodge can do lol.
