New headlights

Well I finally bit the bullet, put 2003 clear headlights in my 2001. Can't wait to see difference tonight. Not too hard to do, about an hour total. 55min on the first one and 5min on the second. Once I figured out how to get the lower clip undone it was easy. I don't know what everyone's trick is but I used a 13mm socket over the top of the pin to depress the two clips. It's a tight fit and takes a little umph but it worked. Could not see old lights projecting on garage door in daylight, new ones or very noticeable. Looks alot better on the truck too.

I did the same thing on my 99, 02-04 heads and corners, and it helped a ton. I just added the dfuser fog light kit, I think it helped quite a bit as well and it looks good on the truck to boot. I figure I've at least doubled my stock output with the old foggy styled lights.
