Well, my new headlights came in. Took a few pics.


Out with the old, in with the new. What follows is my progression through headlights LOL.


These were my original lights when I was parked next to 98CherryRam's truck. By the way, I now have the same lights as him.

Then I jumped on the eyelids bandwagon. I liked them, but I wanted HIDs and I'm not a fan of them being in the stock housings. Hell, I just got flashed the other day when I was just driving with the fog lights on and it was dusk.

Finally got my set of aftermarket projectors. I loved them and installed some HIDeXtra 5000ks in them.

Well, I didnt have anything smoked on the truck anymore so I didnt feel they fit my style. I was still hooked on 98CherryRam's lights and I decided to grab a set. I'm really happy with them. Not sure why the camera made the fogs look yellow, they are white like the heads.

So there it is. I now have 3 sets of headlights for sale if anyone wants them lol. I have one regular stock pair, one stock pair with painted on eyelids, and also a set of smoked projectors with halos/leds. Oh and here is what the HIDs look like compared to silverstar ultras. Excuse the smudge on the right. Also notice his fogs are on too. In person these lights blow the stock lights out of the sky.

I can get pics of them later tonight probably. I'll probably sell them on here for $125 shipped. Shipping is gunna cost around $30 but I don't mind giving someone here a deal. I was planning on putting them on craigslist for $150. They'll come with the H1 bulbs in the lows and highs but not with the HIDs.

i am so reluctant to buy something like heads w/o seeing them on. i dont know what i want to do on my heads. that is the last thing anyone sees before i blow by them. i wanted to paint my oems for a long time but i think i need the chrome to fit in(wheels, grill, etc..). i know i could black everyting out, i have considered this as well but i like the direction i am going. i keep looking at your pics joe but your grill is black. little difference i know but it doesnt help. im going to have to think about it. dont save them on my account if you have a more serious buyer by all means get money.

yea I understand. I'm in no big hurry to sell them, like I said I have 3 sets sitting in the garage, I'll just offer them to whoever would like them.

EDIT: Found the right link. This is what the smoked ones look like.

In reality, if you are looking for black headlights, I would highly HIGHLY recommend the ones I just got. Super easy to install and no splicing in order to make the halos and leds work. With the smoked set, you will need to splice into your parking light wires in order to make the halos and leds light up but my new set is straight plug and play. They are plain sexy in person. Both sets are H1 so you would need to buy a new set of HIDs for these housings. Here's where I got my new lights from. They're pricey but well worth it in my opinion.

Here's a pic of them off the truck. It's hard to get a good one with the camera capturing the smoke. Also a video of the smoked ones.

And I've got 2 vids of the new lights. One with just the halos and one with the headlights on. As you can see, the camera has issues with focusing from a distance lol.
