Thanks for your opinions guys looks like the chrome vote is leading by a little, its too tempting , the black looks so mean , but like i said i like how the chrome breaks up the black , i dont know what to do.

I had bought the chrome like yours but had a problem with the drivers side and ended up putting my stock ones back on. Really like the look but I did not want to buy a new set.
I got the clear corners off ebay , sealed them up good and havent had a problem with them. Im gunna hang on to them for when i put the Mazzi's on again in the spring

Be Different

IMHO you should stay with the chrome. I know the blackout is tempting but dare to be different. Don't go all black just because everyone else is doin' it! If you can't stand it then do it. But you have a great looking truck just the way it is!

I think the truck looks better all black. The chrome lights look out of place. There is a lot to be said for the murdered look.

IDNC, Black heads with the chorme signal area, chrome headlight area, and the clear corners looks mint... IMO when you paint the signal bulb area and the amber corners it really makes the headlight housing look odd.

Idk im not a fan of those black ebay lights this what i did originally when i painted them last year . i wish i took more pics of these but due to lack of visibility i think they were like that for a total of 20 mins before i took them apart and re-did them lol

yeah i painted everything.

the bulb didnt really reflect too well lol

I had H.i.d.s at the time too , but the light output was pretty bad.

Ever drive with those Hid halogen bulbs, the cheap ones that look good , but have terrible output , well , it was like that
