Which headlights would you get?

There are so many options out there its hard to decide. Im leaning towards the leds to match my new led tail lights. I already have a chrome grill and bumper will the headlights with the chrome housing be too much?

I like OEM personally. The top set if I had to pick from the 4 you posted.

My favorite are the OEM '02-'04 headlights. I like the clear signal lens personally.

But out of what you listed, I think #4 are pretty cool looking. Just keep in mind...that some of those are one piece units. So if the headlight lens get chipped or cracks...you have to replace the entire unit. Unlike OEM...they are a two piece design.

I think the last set looks pretty cool...and unique ! They give it a bit of a new F-150 look, but on a Superduty. I even posted a thread about these lamps a little while ago to see if anyone had any info on them...but no luck! I was hoping to see if anyone had a picture of these lamps installed on a truck...Every pic I see of them on E-Bay has just the "un-installed" lights!

Good luck !

Where do you get the clear corners and how much trouble are they to install?

Once again biz, your right on the mark. I've been considering getting a pair of these one piece lights. I had never considered that if you chipped or broke one, you'd have to replace the whole thing. Nevermind the fact that you probably can't locate these at your local auto parts store, so your waiting for the UPS man. And on top of all that, you probably can't buy just one. Factory headlights w/ clear corners for me. Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me biz. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees!!

I have the one-piece headlights and they work well. Fit is good, bolts right up. Plenty of adjustment (Left/right up/down) can be made and they are much brighter than my stock 01 lights (Used same bulbs).
