ebay, ebay,ebay. try to search for lightning headlights. they are clear. and the "blue" headlights you want are H.I.D.s they are not cheap and you need to shop around to find a decent kit

becareful tho if you are ordering new light housings, b.c depending on what month your truck was made in, it might have different hardware. The 97s and early 98s have different mounting hardware then the later 98s-03

I have cool blues, and am happy with the improvement over stock, and have had them for a little over 2 years now

wow ok so how do i find out when this 98 was made?, also i was hoping that there was a website that all of you go to buy things from, for example, i own a fiero, i shop at "the fiero store.com" or anyone with trans am/firebird would go to WS6 store.com, i tried to search for a website, and ebay may work, but id rather know what im getting, ive spent over 5k in this truck already,(all acsesories) so expensive HID's or whatever isnt an issue.

Keep in mind that the stock headlights on the late body style trucks are AWFUL for true HID light as they throw light EVERYWHERE and thus blind nearly all people that are coming at you from the opposite direction.

Sylvania made a kit called Xenarcs that was around up until about 2003. They're nearly impossible to find now but, you will see them float by on ebay on occasion. The Xenarc kit was a FULL replacement kit with TRUE HID. I had it on my old 01' and they were truely remarkable.

If you can't find a Xenarc set, I'd go with Silvestars as they are a huge improvement over stock.
