05 style headlights
Does anyone know of a source for 05 style headlights for a 99-04 that doesn't require cutting to install?
I prefer the look of the 05s but don't have time to mess with the install. I'll have to go with the 02-04 clears if I can't find a source for the 05 style.
Thanks in advance!

I head these on mine for a while
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
They are also in black

You just unbolt the factory headlight and turnsignal and install this set up. NO cutting.

Thanks for the pic. I saw those on eBay but I wasnt sure how they'd actually look on the truck.
You said you had them on for a while. Is there a reason you took them off? Are they poor quality?
Also, did you hook up the LEDs? If so how do they look?

Took them off because I just can't leave things alone.... (Always Modding my Ex) 
. I sold them to another FTE member. I did the 05 conver. Yeah I hooked them up to my HID's. The lights are set up alittle different and to run the HID's had to take off a rubber boot that covers the opening where the bulb is. And it looked great. Hope that helped you out.

Perhaps they look better but the light output and quality on the 2005 style SUCKS! Sometimes I have to turn my lights off and on several times just to be sure they are actually turning on - they are that dim. I have heard this complaint nearly across the board from MY 2005-2007 owners. My next project is to improve my lights, but I'm not too sure yet how/what to do. I already replaced the bulbs with sylvania silver stars, which really didn't do much at all. I don't know if I'm too keen on placing HID's in my lamp housing that was not made for HID's and throwing light all over the place. Maybe a bright-box? At this point in time I'm about ready to throw in the towel with modding the factory lights and just add a light bar across the front. Suggestions? Sorry to hi-jack this thread. It just hit a nerve with me!
