Anyone have smoked 97-03 headlights?

I'm looking into replacing my stock ones for Lightning clear headlights but in smoked, light smoke. Also I don't like 1 piece assemblies and some kits are just side markers smoked or vice versa. Anybody have such lights or pics at least?

Or you can pick up a pair of clear L heads and then a can of nite shades, can of clear and just shoot 1 or 2 coats and be good to go! That way you can make the lights as dark or light as you please

Actually, I checked blackedoutv6's pics from a search I did as well and he's basically got what one's I want. Not so much the sides but they are close to the one's I found on ebay:

Actually, if I already have the headlight bulbs I want, the Sylvania's, they are a direct fit to these headlights? What I mean to say is a bulb from a reg F-150 should be the same as a Lightning and these 9007's that are included?

Late arrival for me as well.

Mine are smoked, but just painted black around the reflector.

The ones you posted might actually look pretty sick if on the right truck,

Alright, next question that I forgot to ask the other day, where'd you get yours from and do they in person look darker than the pics show? I like the darkness you have, just right and the ones on ebay often look not so dark, but still nice.

Got mine off fleabay. They look just a tad darker in real life than they do in the pic to the far right in my sig.

I was very pleased how they looked when i pulled them out of the box, they have a nice shade of smoke
