clear headlights

Is there an option for clear headlights on a 2001. From what I have read the 05s do not just bolt up and they use 9008 bulbs while the 01s use the 9007 bulb. Causing the need for a different harness.

The '03 and '04 headlights are clearer than the older ones and they are a direct swap. Heres what they look like.

Just stick the 05's in there... takes 10-15 minutes a side. Piece of cake.

Super easy!! Pick up those knock off O5 lights (Eagle Eye) Look great and hard to tell they are not OEM... plus the price is real cheap.

A little longer than 15 minutes for me, but well worth the effort.
