Those look pretty good. I got some off ebay a while back made by street tunes. They're not projector lights, just clear lenses with the extra little led.
Can't wait to see yours installed. Good luck!

Those look good. That great thing is they have a diffuser for the HID's in them and not just a reflector so the HID's do not blind everyone and there brother.

Thanks man! I haven't looked too hard at them cause i have a paper to write for school, but I'm hoping they're not as tough to install as i'm dreading they are! lol

9007 HB5 DIGITAL BIXENON HID LIFE WARRANTY

You need this kit.

HID ( High Intensity Discharge)is the bulb type.

There are LED ( Light Emitting Diodes) halo rings round the diffuser.

Our trucks use the 9007 bulb. Retro makes some great products and is what I'm going to put on my truck.

Matt does a great job explaining some stuff. He put the diffuser in the clear replacements which is what I plan to do as well to match my cab lights.

Pull your batteries there are two secret nuts down low by your turnsignals. It helps to have a mirror and a flash light to see them.

Take batteries out. There are two bolts per side back in under the actual headlight. The trim comes off with the markers. Also take the grill out. Look at the plastic behind the marker you'll see one. Since that's clear as mud here's a link. http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2152
