I'm starting to do my headlight research. I know there is all kinds of technology out there for lighting. I'm willing to jump forward to the HID lighting as long as its a DOT and SAE certified kit. I know I've got to replace my stock light the lens are fogging over and I know there are better headlight reflectors out there than stock. So my question is HID, sport headlight conversion with halogens, etc. Let's see some links, products, and reviews.

  • I'm Running these from Anzo and like them a lot. I've also installed them in 2 other family members 2nd gens as well. http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts/anzo_diamond_clear_headlight/ANZHE7625.aspx#

  • I have used a heat gun to restore motorcycle plastics that were sun damaged. You can see the color almost flash from cloudy to clear. Good idea to try it on headlights.

Actually just looked mine is on the back but you'll have to pull the headlight out to access the screw. The adjust screw is not on the bottom edge like yours.

I'll take a picture when I get home just in case, never know.

No opinion as I have never used them. I'll try to get a pic tonight of mine before it gets too dark and the lights will wash out the pic.

I use those bulbs as my tail/brake lights where they're hidden lol.  They are bright as hell.  I can see them reflecting off street signs 1/2 a mile behind me when the brakes or turn signal is on.

They also sell those on the shelves at Advance Auto.

Great, I just got ano electronic flasher too lol, getting ready to go to auto zone and pay double price as I don't want to wait. I'm kinda set on these for now. Will give it a try, worse case I'll have to move bumper out again only weights few hundred pounds. 

I'm now second guessing if  want to put bug deflectors back on, they been on ever since I got the truck but not sure if they actually do what they're supposed to. Plus they are old and faded, like the rest lol. 

Edit. Nevermind I just found my answer,  an old thread from cummins forum where Mike talks about his bugs. n54rro.jpg.33316fbff7c468a888b0d25d168af263.jpg

I don't know about that site, if you don't want to tackle it yourself I would highly recommend going with retroshop last link I posted.

In case anyone is wondering, I ended up getting 3157a zevo led with a new electronic flasher ep27 and it looks good and not that bright with parking lights on but with blinkers they definitely stand out, this picture is just driving light.

Thank you Mike and yes they are. Seriously just cheapy ebay switch backs. They have been great in the year that I've had them.
