I went with OEM 02 headlights and Silverstarts they work pretty darn good compared to the stock 99-01 headlights. You can also spend the extra funds and get the 05-07 headlights for even better looks and lighting.

Yes I believe PMS has started to hit him, his poor wallet will have a hard time, but the Peremagrin is worth it .

Yes, I agree, your truck looks boring... so boring in fact you should just hand the keys to me and I'll ensure you're never bored with it again!!! LOL!!

I went with 05 headlights in my 99, but am thinking that since Nyx is black, I should have gone with the Harley lights..... but then, I'm not in to Harleys anyway....

05 lights with the upgraded harness from DFUSER.COM will make her look nice and give better lighting too!

Nick that is one great looking Ex, walmart didn't have this months issue of Diesel World. If you have the money and like the looks go with the 05s if not I am sure some of our 02-04 members here that have upgraded there lights would sell you or give you there lights thats how I got mine.
