OK its time for new lights

Hey folks, I believe it is time for one of my last upgrades to my truck...new headlights. Sick of the old diamond cut diffusers.

I don't want to make another....not really mistake but...not the best choice like I did for my taillights...still thinking of OEM niteshaded....


So...what do ya'll think would look mean and nasty on ole blue?





Any input/suggestions for lights are welcome!!! Whether it is for just heads/tails or BOTH!

Sorry, I can't respond yet. I am still in shock from seeing the taillights and exhaust tips.

i think lightning style would be the best looking on your truck. i dont think the orange reflector on the Harleys would blend to well with the rest of the truck. lightning corners would look great as well

Smoke the OEM tails in VHT NiteShade, get Lightning headlamps, and have the exhaust tips fixed to they aren't out from under the truck so far.

Lightning heads look good on any truck, that plus the side markers

Well I guess this is going to be a more expensive project now that I have to get the tips fixed....

Thanks for the input on the headlights everyone, I am thinking now.....regular L style or the black background ones....?

Those aren't HD lights in that auction. These are HD lights.

I think the majority of people agree that the Lighting lights look best on most of our trucks. Plus, true HD style lights are harder to find. Some advice....stay away from ebay unless you just want the cheapest thing you can find. Also, some of the vendors on there are selling products that are not what they say they are. I just ordered TYC Lighting style lights from autoanything.com. I asked around in here first and they seem to have a great reputation. Plus, if you order TYC lights from an authorized dealer, you get their limited lifetime warranty. Bottom line....do your research and see what is out there. You have a lot of choices. Also, know who you are ordering it from and what they are going to send you. Take this from someone who has been burned before. Good luck.

Yeah I am really considering those depo ones like you posted, I've been considering them since i saw them a year ago. I always thought they would look really good.

About the tips everyone, I talked to abuddy of mine and hey says we can crack the welds, and push them back where they should be. THe angles they are at is OK right? Just need to be pushed bakc under the truck right? To the bumper or just under it?

CHEERS!

PS- niteshade spray, can be purcahsed at any advance/autozone right?

that grill assembly and lights looks awesome. i would get it if i didnt already have my projectors and had a white truck.

yes angles are fine, just need to be alittle more hidden

and yes u can order it from those stores. none of them stock it. i dont think autozone or advanced stocks it at all. try going to your nearest oreillys
