Replacement headlights

[The_Hammer]

Who makes the best aftermarket headlights for these trucks? I'm wanting housings that are designed for the regular halogen bulbs. I've read that the OEM housing are the best but really don't want to spend $400 on them. Sanding my current housings worked pretty good to brighten things up but the plastic is full of stress cracks which gives them a pretty crappy beam.

Do you want to move to sport housings or keep them standard?

I'm running a set of these from Anzo and like them a lot. My uncle also has set of the chrome background housings. Great beam pattern and easily adjusted.

@Me78569

I've thought about going to the sport headlights. With proper wiring can you run high and low together? I've already installed relays for my current lights so I'm good there.

 

@BBHD

Those look really good!

I bought these for my retrofit, but I am really happy with the quality for the price.  

 

I can't say how the beam looks because I am using projectors, but I would imagine they are as good as any other clone light

I am sure with the right wiring you can have lows and highs on together.  simply relay setup would do that.

@BBHD Can you show me a link for those? I've got a local here that is looking for better headlights.

I just put some oem TYCs from RockAuto and some NAPA super bright bulbs and I love it. Looks clean and the NAPA lights at night are great! Although, high beams are terrible and you don't have the long distance clarity that regular beams have at night.

I'm running sport lights with a Genos Brite box.  High and low beams on high.  You could make your own Brite box but it would take some work.  

I like them a lot.

 I used some Eagle Eyes from A1 Auto IIRC. $75 for the pair with oe bulbs, no turn signals. My signals look like new. Unlike CTcummins24 my low beams are ok and the high beams are phenomenal on the oe bulbs. I did have to turn the right side in pretty far to align but am pretty satisfied with them for the price.

I have the instructions.  Works perfect on my truck and Michael has personally look it over.  Working fine sine March 2013.

I believe specific to 1999 year.  Image No Relay Jump 3-5 is part of Fog Lights on during High Beam.  I am sure you can find the schematic for 1999 and your truck year with a little help from support group here.

If I go the sport route I thought about wiring it up like this:

Low beams wired to a 30a relay with the factory low beam wire from the switch used as the trigger. Do the exact same for the high beams but of course use the factory high beam wire from the switch as the trigger. This is how my lights are currently wired.

BBHD ....... any problems/second thoughts on the 111067 Anzo headlights?

Plug and play ?

Would you use them again ?

My Canadian mode truck has the 'daylight running lights' ......

[BBHD]

I'd definitely recommend them! Plug and play, no fitment issues, great beam pattern and easy to adjust! My uncle picked up a set after seeing mine to replace his one piece eBay specials and also really likes them. They use your OE corner bulb and socket. Twists and locks right in and come with new gasket/washers. They also come with new headlight bulbs.

Thanks BBHD. Booked marked site. Get a little more money and will be ordering some. Would be good to have good lights and not spend a fortune.
