New Headlights

Got my new headlights today..... I got these off Ebay from a seller in California....
The fit of these lights are perfect and personally I love the look but I have not got to drive them at night yet.
Heres a few quick picks... For referance in these picks I also have the black cab light covers....

This pick is an old picture with both stock lights and cab light covers....



Heres one with both.....



Heres one with the new lights...



sorry these are not the best pictures they are quick shots right after install....

That's the way they came....I wanted the blacked out look.... I haven't gotten to try them out at night yet but I may try to go for a spin later to see how they do.... It is hard to tell from looking if it is the covers or the reflectors that are tinted.... The reflectors look real shiny like maybe a black chrome but I don't know.....

As far as looks I love these lights I just hope the quality holds up over time.

As for the Harley lights I considered those they look great but honestly a lot of people are going to those and I got to be different..... I considered the Black covers but didn't want to have to remove them before driving at night so I set out looking for a set of dark replacements.....

I got out earlier and drove the truck down the drive and back to find they are not as bright as before (as expected) which could partially be due to these lights coming with new bulbs I may try the old bulbs and see if it changes things all said they appear to still plenty bright enough.. But only time will tell...

Here's a few before and after pic's



after
