I see you have the two piece set-up (head light/ turn signal) replacements, Ty... does anybody have the "full meal deal," a one piece head light and turn signal replacement for these trucks. I was wondering about the quality on those. I've heard they don't fit as well as stock or a two piece set up.

I'm looking at getting a set of the one piece designs.

The lighting on them is not as good, could be I don't have them aligned correctly. The 4in driving lights(55w) help out alot, although I get flashed sometimes because they aren't aligned correctly either. I plan on getting some better bulbs for the heads, getting some lower wattage 4in lights and getting a pro to line them up.
Kerry...I've heard on other boards that the 1 piece are a pain to get in. Most guys seem to like them once installation is over though. Most of the aftermarket lights 1 or 2 piece don't fit as well. They usually have a larger gap on the inside, between the light and surround.

ON EDIT: I don't have the projector wired up right now either. The harness that came w/ the lights was half backwards. I would get one low and one high beam on. I threw the harness in the trash and made my own. I had the projectors wired to come on w/ the corners. When I put the new frt end on, I hooked the 4in lights to that relay. I need to get another relay so I can wire the projector to the low beam.
