There are only two that look good. My favorite is the factory lights with matching clear turn signals. The other good one is the crystal headlights. The other stuff that looks like euro stuff sucks.

I like the crystal headlights with stock parking lenses too, so I guess thats 3 combinations that look good.

This is mine.

Superduty 4x4 what type of lights are those and how is the light pattern they produce. Been thinking about getting some of these for my truck but have heard that the light pattern produced is crappy. I would like to get the crystal lights and put hids in them. I drive on a lot of back roads out here in the country and need more light output than the stock lights with yellowed lenses.

He has the crystal headlights. I'm curious of the beam pattern on them too. From everything I have read before, the OEM headlights produce the best beam pattern, but I have not seen in person the difference.

That looks cool. When you say they light up the road better are you comparing them to the old yellowed lenses though? Nice plate! LOL...

Not sure on the brand, they came off ebay from seller parasitesingle. They are the euro/diamond cut style. I have 55w 5000k HID's in them and I am very pleased with the setup. Tons of useable light, very bright. When I drive in a rig with regular style bulbs I can't believe the difference with the HID's! Regular bulbs seem like a flashlight with almost dead batteries compared to HID's. I also converted the turn signal/clearance light bulbs to LED's.

I noticed a nice difference between my crystal lights and stock lights also. I had even rubbing compounded my stock lights out to a nice factory looking light before I switched to crystal lights. Mine are crystal headlights and corners with the signals that match the factory headlights. Pardon the smoke, this is the best pic I have that shows the lights really good. LoL. Something u can't do right there Chase!! haha

Hey Texas Guy, yes, i was comparing them to the stock lights, mine were not yellowed but were no where near as bright as these. The Hyper white bulbs help a lot as well.

Thats cool. Maybe I should try the crystal headlights. I really like how mine looks, but if they work better maybe its worth switching. What hyper white bulbs? Are they tinted? If so, find some good plus 30 clear bulbs. What you think is helping actually isn't if they are tinted. The whiter light just appears brighter.
