Well i got a set of 1 piece halo's for the truck, and im having some issues with them mounting flush. i was thinking that maybe since they are a universal fit for a 97-03 that maybe my 97 headlight panel might be slightly different than the 99+. any comments would be greatly appreciated.

 

aren't they supposed to stick out and look silly?????

 

yes, but there is somewhat of a gap b/w the turn signal and fender area. ill try to get a pic.

 

here is a pic...

looks like it's not lined up...

 

check your build date early 97 (before 6/96 i think it was) has different headlights. the whole headlight corner light assembly is together in a black frame. the only lights i have found for this truck are from LMC. GL

 

yes check your build date, if its before 7/96 then you need the retaining bucket or you can just swap the header panel for a post-date truck

 

The sticker in the door i believe says 12/96.

 

i have emailed the company just waiting to hear back from them. I haven't had any time today but hopefully tomorrow i will be able to get out there and mess around with it for a little while.

 

can u snap pics of the back of the light and another of the header panel for me?

 

if i have time tomorrow i will snap some pics for ya. and if it helps i have the same exact style grille as yours(flat across the the bumper, not bowed down).

 

i had a set of these on my 01 and to install them i hadda cut some plastic out to make them fit i ended up getting rid of them and got the L style and couldnt be happier

 

well i had a little bit of time this afternoon and i tinkered with them a little bit. I used a little bit of force and man pressure!haha it helped a lot, but there still seems to be a slight gap. Raptor sorry i forgot all about the pics, but 1st thing in the morning ill pull them out and snap a pic.

 

sounds good.

 

Fitment problems with one piece headlights is fairly common and why a lot of people stay away from them. Good luck getting yours to work.
