All you need is the two headlamps and turn signals. You use your existing bulbs. If you still have stock bulbs, I insist on you upgrading to Sylvania Silverstar 9007's for a brighter output. Or, you can do what we did and get HIDs. I must let you know NOT to order form LMC truck if you like money. They are hella expensive. Look around, you can get all four pieces for about $150 total. Google is a great place to start, as it importvision.com. Happy hunting!

you can get stealth bulbs, they are chrome to match the headlight, i have em on my truck and it looks alot better than having the egg yoke color on your truck!

If you go from stock to true Lightning headlights, like i did, you will need to buy the ring that holds the headlight bulb down. I got mine from the dealership for right at 20 bucks. But call ahead b.c they usually have to order them

Dont settle for anything other then Visteon Lightning headlights


I got mine off of a 2001 lightning, they were on ebay for 125 shipped, and i paid 40 shipped for the parking lights from a different guy
