Default Black headlights on ebay - will they fit?

I'm shopping around for some black headlight housings, but all the ones on ebay say they will not fit a truck that has the amber bar on the bottom of the stock headlight, which my truck has. I'm sure someone else has ran into this. The black housings look like they'll fit just fine, so I'm confused. Can someone clarify?

Here's the ones I've looked at so far...

Anyone have any of these installed on their truck?

I honestly don't see why they wouldn't fit since the headlights are the same size. But I would wait for someone with an 06 to chime in

Where do you see that at? I think it is saying that there is no amber bar on the bottom of these lights, please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's weird because I think every 06 came with the amber bar on the headlight. I have an 06 Mega Cab and it has the amber on it.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of it. Does the amber strip even light up? If it has its own bulb, then maybe that is what they are referring to because there's no spot for the bulb on the black housings.

If this is the case, couldn't I just take the amber strip's bulb out and install the black housings?

I have an 06 and those lights will work.
The seller is just covering his butt cuz the little light that goes in the amber strip socket won't fit on the new lights.
If you look at the back of the lights your buying you can see a boss where that little light would have gone.
Just tie ithem off or better yet use them to power a light strip or some led's.
