Ed dont be afraid of ebay. I purchased a set of 02 headlites and markers for my truck 2 years ago. Worked perfectly. The markers were clear and looked really nice...I have since upgraded to a 05 look. Pics...

This is how she looks now with the 05 lites,and grill with a billet kit, and I changed out the mirrors to tow mirrors....I got the HL from a friend on FB for $150, and the grill.from momcustoms with the billet grill for $350. $500 total and an afternoon of therapy working on Gertrude (pickup).

going from my yellow 99 lights that were wet sanded and buffed several times i still needed to replace them. i bought new replacements and two weeks later destroyed them in a crash . since have swaped whole frt end to 05 and added fog lights plenty of light more than enough to see the deer in the ditchs and fencelines . my harnesses and connectors are fine no melting been at least a year . but to fix the mistaken idenity thing i had to add 7.3 emblems

Sorry Frank but since we are friends I think I need to tell you that you have taken the Jenny Craig thing alittle too far. I would have thought them beers 
would have put a few pounds on ya. LOL
Well I got my Anzo USA 111080 yesterday and they look cool. But like I said earlier I was wondering if these lights sold by an American company would actually be American built. Well they are make in Taiwan
But they are stamped DOT
I have friends that are union workers making big $$$ that give me a hard time and say " Buy American made the job you might save is your own." Well agree with them but.............. "IF I HAD A JOB!!!" 
I haven't had a real job in over a year. So being a unemployed American all I can afford is crap made in China or Taiwan. And I myself don't blame the consumer I blame American companies that out source their products and the government for not taxing the S*** out of these companies that do out source. Sorry for 
Back on subject I will hopefully get these lights installed in the next couple of days and I'll post up photos. I will be so glad to get rid of these E99 headlights. They are so ugly and don't put down enough light on the road.

Well I got the headlights installed and I am very pleased with the way they look it is like a face lift on an old woman.
The before look with the crappy E99 headlights and tinted signal lights
To a fresh new look

Thanks Joe They really give the old girl a fresh look. I am getting ready to go drive down the road and hopefully I don't have them aimed too high. I am sure the other drivers on the road will let me know if they are too High.

Looks..... Different. Not bad at all, just different. Ive never seen those kind of lights. I like the way the black flows with the truck, and the black grill center just brings it all together.

Thanks guys !! These headlights are at least 75% more light on the road compared to stock E99 lights. They came with bulbs in them but they weren't as bright as Sylvania SilverStars that I had in the E99 lights. Well after driving it last night I had to readjust the headlights. As I tried to get them dialed in I found that the optic reflector in the Right headlight was alittle different than the left. Most people would never notice but I am a freak when it comes to details. It just defuses the light a little different. But considering that some 9 yr old in Tiawan made them I can't be that upset and they were 30% of the cost of OEM.
Kinda falls under you get what you paid for. So if you are super picky and have deep pockets buy OEM.
Over all I am very pleased with the look and how they are putting on the road is good, not great but maybe the relay & bulbs Jason was talking about will get me there.
