I'm thinking that a poll might be in order here...

I haven't ever seen the black headlights on my style truck. Black with a chrome bumper, chrome grill surround and billet grill. I just don't think black headlights would look good on mine. Though I really do like black the best.

HIDPLANET's truck is almost exactly like yours. chrome bumper surround and a lower billit grille with the black headlights. I think it looks really good. Yours would look great like that too except with the different HID setup.

Thanks RP! That is a really good idea.

Regarding black headlights or chrome headlights:

I really do like the black headlights, however there is another issue that I have with the black ones. HIDPlanet won't have this problem because he has a cool looking pattern for his HIDs when you look head on.

If I keep mine chrome then the entire headlight will light up a little with stray light and it won't appear that noticeable from being head on that projectors are installed. I'm not doing that for the cops, but rather because I think no projector HID looks better head on.

Besides I did a poll a long time ago about whether or not I should use chrome or black and most everyone said chrome.

Haha, don't make me second guess myself! I stink at making these type calls, thus my poll!

First use the chrome lights.
Get the orange reflector, clear IS way too ricey. You own the baddest truck on Earth, you don't want somebody to confuse it with a handed down from my momma 1983 honda civic hatchback with one of those trailer fabulous (ghetto fabulous, crack-tacular, etc.) fart cans poking out of the back that drags every speed bump now do you? That's what I thought.
