If your not gonna retrofit an actual set of projectors into the headlights or get a custom set made, go with the Harley's. The premade one piece projectors for the 97-03s have absolutely terrible fitment. The output from them with halogens isn't bad, but getting them to stay in is a serious pain.

And this is the best answer you're gonna be getting; hands down. Spyder is pure crap, and the lightning and Harley designs are the best. I had chrome lightning lenses, then went to the black Harley headlights. Fit the truck a lot better. This is mine with the black Harley headlights.

And a while ago with the chrome lightning lenses.

^ these
The projector is a high beam only projector (very good at that)
So you end up with your 9007 hi + the 9005 projector hi beam..and then you can upgrade that 9005 to a 9011 HIR

Post a picture of your truck, there are a lot of factors that go into what looks good on what truck. But that said, I think chrome lightning housings with a chrome grill.

You have to buy the whole headlight.
For warning the low beams are "ok" but the high beams really make up for it.
