I have no idea on the brand, but they will be replaced pretty soon. I just don't like them..whoever installed them left no room for adjustment since they chopped the header panel to hell. they are basically being held by one bolt on each headlight. Luckily they are aimed pretty well so I am not blinding anyone, but they are bothering my ADD...so they have to go.

Sorry, was busy with the kiddos. Didn't get to drive it too much, but we have high winds over here for the next couple of days, and I noticed that I had absolutely no troubles keeping her straight. Steering also feels much more responsive. Also got it re-aligned. I must say one of the better mods so far. Now to box up the old one and send it back for my core charge! I will follow up after I drive it for a couple of days.

Mine was on the way out...so it was next on my list of mods. The shop I go to is pretty reputable. They told me it was on the way out but it could wait. Here in CO plenty of trucks with snowplow's and they said they replace them all the time. This morning when I called them they were super impressed with the steering box. Cleaned my old one up, drained it, and re-packaged it up for me. Also flushed the fluid. I keep asking the wife if she needs any errands to be ran, so I can go driving around!!

Did my usual drive to work after dropping off my daughter at school. All I can say is it is a noticeable difference. No more wandering around. I found my muscle memory was causing more trouble than anything. I am so used to rocking the wheel back and forth that I just do it naturally. Going to have to work on that. No worries swapping hands or getting distracted while driving. Stay tuned for more updates.

Here we go Bright A$$ LED's 9007, and parking light and blinker led's from Amazon. Sidetone, I ordered the switchback LED that Twitchy mentioned so these will get changed out.
