Hey, Raptor. Your attention to consistency on your comparison pictures is AWESOME The truck is in an almost identical location in all 3 pics. I also think you have definitely cleaned that truck p a whole lot...looks real nice

Yes. Sylvania made drop-in replacement units complete with D1R bulbs and ballast. They were very expensive and had a decent cutoff for a D1R.

Thanks, that was the point. In 2009, I remember snapping the pic there in 2006 since its the spot in front of my garage I usually clean it at. So I got an updated pic then. And now I spent hours looking for those two old pics so I can compliment them. Its the only true way to have a before and after.

I dont know how the white ones would look honestly, but black would be great honestly it would add just enough contrast to make it look perect!

If its a gloss black i woukd say do it. It would compliment the heads. And black tails. Chrome would be sick too. Tires and the empty space on the L repros would give it some darkness in the wells. And shine as well. Any rear bumper plans?

Definitely black, man! I've said this before...contrast makes wheels pop. Stick with a 2-tone scheme and it will look awesome (observe my awesome truck lol) Seriously, tho, I caouldn't be happier with the black on my tan truck. The contrast makes it look really different.
