headlight upgrades...
was wondering what you guys had on your 97 style pickups? i got a 97, and have been lookin on ebay for a headlight upgrade. my truck is green, and i think the smoked look would be cool, just wondering what you guys all had. also the harley corners look good too. if ya got pics that would be great. thanks again

My $.02 worth ........ No smoke covers. No doubt, they LOOK good. Front smokes reduce the already marginal light put out by the headlights. Rear smokes, make sure your headrest is adjusted correctly, reduces whiplash when you get rear ended. A good extra heavy duty rear bumper should come with smoke tail light covers. Oh, get a smoke cover for the 3rd brake light too...

aren't smoked covers for offroad use anyways? just curious (i'm assuming y'all are talking about the ones that cover your whole headlight assembly?). as stated, too dull already to cover the light any more up. i'd suggest tail guards vs covers, just my opinion.

I have the Lightning style heads & Lightning clear corners I really love them .I had smoked covers over the stock heads before. I like them , but at night you couldn`t see with then on.
Ilike the TYC Lightning heads alot better.I have the corners to match them with. But I got a set of depo clear ones,& they look good. I just got a new set of lightning OEM Lightning tails .So I`m done with the lights for now.

The make of them are called "Depo", I ordered them from Vancouver Canada. You are from the US correct? You have an advantage over us up here in Canada, there are alot more aftermarket stores available to you. See if you can just tell them the name of the product, I'm sure the ones I got are originally from the US. Make sure you get the direct replacement Lightning ones because they offer another style that are not street legal and look a little funkier. If you are still having problems locating them I will try to get you a part number and info from where their suppliers are. Just PM if you get stumped.
