Head and tail light options

Has anyone ever got either of these if so are that worth it? Or is there anything better? I'm mainly wondering about the tail lights. I am wanting black housing for both head and tails and not smoked.

Headlights wont have great reach with that black paint.

What are you wondering about the lights? I can't speak for the seller there, but my last set of eBay LEDs were nothing but pre-soldered cheap LEDs on a current-resisting curcuit. No PWMs, no vRegs, so my running lights were okay, but when you press on the brake lights, you could barely see a brightness difference. I built my own for half the price. But again- I have no idea about those. I just see cheap eBay lights and make my own assumptions.

That does answer my question kinda, i was wondering if the led's would be brighter and just better all around then my current stock tail lights. I like the way they look compared to other black housing led tail lights but i dont want lights that arent very bright either. would i be better off getting black housing tails that use the stock bulds?

Brighter? Yes. Better? I don't think so. You can paint your inside housings black and solder in some LEDs for about $50.

I'm not good with electrical so I'm not sure if I would be able to do that. And my dad doesn't want me doing anything permanent to the truck yet because it's still his kinda. That's why I'm looking for complete replacement so if I have to turn it back to stock I can easy

Oh okay. Well in the end its up to you. the ones you listed are plug-n-play so if you ever wanted to go back to stock, you can.

Yea that's why I wanted ones like those but I just wanted to check if anyone here knew what kind if quality they are. I looked on another site and found the tails for almost 200 so i think if i get any i will get those. I'm still undecided on what heads though. Thanks for your help
