Return them as defective. The light output is horrible on those, as well as several quality issues.

Since you're asking for opinions; they don't even look good regardless of how they work. Too space age, tech-y, modern for your body style truck. Doesn't "fit" the truck.

If youd like some smoked ones, this is the way to go, love the look of these on my truck!

That looks really good man But I think I have decided to stay away from the black & smoked heads. I really like str8t six's though! but he told me that there very hard to come by now.
