I like the Harley's better but since your billet grille is chrome I'd go with the plain on your truck. If you were to swap in a black billet grille I think the black HD's would look great. Black lights on a chrome grille make it look like the truck has two black eyes. Awesome looking truck btw!! Don't see many superduty's with Swamper's but they look great. People used to say my '94 with TSL's sounded like an airplane coming down the road.

I have 05 Harley lights and the 05 chrome grill on my truck and I do like the looks. My lights came from headlight depot on ebay and am very happy with them. Both zx250 and myself got our loghts fro$ them and are more than satisfied.

I voted for the plain 05s because of you're chrome grill & bumper. If you went dark, then the the black would look better, but for what you have now, go plain.

Honestly I have seen OEM 05 lights fog up... LOL... When you get them, get some silicone and run another bead around them to help seal them up...
