BTW, I saw a guy parked in a Wal-Mart parking lot with a 06 Dodge RAM 1500 with LED lights and I went to go talk to him, tell him they look nice, but compared to my stock headlights minus my Hella Optilux 2020 Driving Lights on, mine were much brighter. Those LED's didnt light up crap. I think they should have been used for maybe a parking light or something. They are good for lightbars and tailamps (Cadillac, anyone?) but when it comes to lighting up the road, they cant replace projector Halogens.

Not sure about the projector. I think it's high. But the guy tried showing off his LED's as if they meant to light up the place, dunno. Those ones in the last link are the ones I'm getting tho. How much you find them for? a 4-piece set for $170 (lowest I found them) is pretty good to me.

the chrome ones in that style would always look better then black though... imo the seams are way to visible with black, where with chrome they would be more hidden.
yeah i agree it does look weird being able to see the seams on the corner lights..

I'm thinking of selling mine and getting the 1pc ones just for that reason.. but i also dont really need to do it and i dont have that much money right now.. In the future i plan on it though...

The projectors come on when you turn on your high beams.. Both the projectors and the other lights both are on high..

I dont really like those too much, nor do I like most aftermarket lights. OEM looks best to me, I got OEM Lightning SVT lights on my old screw and loved them, they make my truck look so much better

Hey Patman, those SVT units look sick. I'm going to have to think about upgrading my set up now.

I say the SVT look the best if you don't like the Depo units.
