Thinking about New Headlights

When at work I'm lucky enough to be able to look out at my truck the whole time I'm there. Since it's so slow I look to much at it and my chrome headlights are starting to bug me. I got rid of the chrome grille surround and put the harley tail lights on. I've got a black tool box, and black running boards. Everything's dark and then I've got these. I was thinking of either getting the FX2 headlights or the Harley's. What do you guys think, should I leave them or replace them?

Your truck looks fine as is.

If you had some DSG or black accents on the truck then the FX2 or HD lights would look good. I think that you would get the best look by painting your stock lights to match them to the blue. That way, everything would flow together instead of adding a color that is not on the truck.

Because of the color of your truck i dont believe the HD or Fx2 headlights would be a good fit. I like the way your truck looks with the headlights you have now, but i would (like someone mentioned before) change the turn signal bulbs to clear.

Front turn signal is a 3157 bulb, chrome ones are pretty cheap here, scroll down about 3/4 of the way down.

Now that you guys mentioned the orange bulb it's all I can see now. I'm at work typing this, and staring at those orange bulb's. I'm going to go pick up a set of new bulbs on my way home.

I love this site, but my wallet hates you guys.
