Headlight upgrade

Wanting to upgrade my '99 lights with '04 buckets. I've heard tell of a vendor with an OEM kit with buckets and the crossover harness but I'm unable to locate it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I'm in agreement with empiretc, go with the 05+ lights. I recently installed some in my truck and was amazed at the difference in light output. The "crystal" 04 lights will give more than your 99 lights, but if you're going to change them, I would suggest at least looking into the 05 lights. Plus, IMO they look better.

OK, you've sold me. What kind/style/name of bulbs are used with these buckets?

It comes with everything. BUt if you are going to cut the header panel, I suggest getting a dremel if you dont have one.
