got mine on ebay, they look SWEET.....but aren't the highest quality, be careful what you get. Mine are the "projection" style lights, with seperate hi/lo bulbs, and also a seperate fog light with a switch. And a PAIN to install. Ebay has many many types though, just letting ya know what I bought.

You need to change over to the 05 headlights.

All aftremarket headlights will either fade within 1 year or have an aiming issue.

are you happy with your beam pattern? Mine took a bit of tweaking/adjusting to get it where I wanted it. I had to change out all the adjusters with the stock ones because the ones that came on my aftermarket lights were plastic and stripped out immediately!

I haven't played with the beam pattern yet, my driveway is on a deep slope so I can't shine them on the garage door like most people would. I will probably do it later this week, but from what I can tell the adjusters that came with these were the same quality as the factory ones.

Yeah.. got the same exact ones and put your truck and put on your old mirrors this weekend. The lights look really cool although I haven't driven at night yet. And the mirrors are a night/day difference, it is weird to look into the mirrors and see so much.

LED tails should get shipped out this week as well. Thanks for your instructions on the headlight install they really helped. My light guards got in the way and they are bolted on with hex bolts that were rusted so working around those was the biggest challenge.
