Default Best 99-02 silverado headlights????

Help!!! I recently redid my 99 2500 2x w/ an SS bumper cover, painted w/ billet grill and clear turn signals. Looks pretty good, but my cheap crap chinese projector headlights have already broken, not to mention they can't be adjusted properly so I can't see the road.

I want to pull these pieces of crap out and throw them off of a cliff. Has anybody used a Diamond cut, ultra clear non-projector style headlight for 99-02 silverado that they are happy with?? Most of these things are made in China and are pieces of crap. I'd hate to put stock ones back in.

thanks in advance.

Oh, and here's the truck in case anybody cares.

Badass Truck, I love the SS Bumper Cover. As far as headlights, I just used the stock headlights w/ Silverstar Bulbs in both the High/Low beam. It looks & works pretty good.

I may go with the stockers if I have to, but I swear I've seen some non-projector totally clear headlights that would look awsome.

first aftermarket headlight assemblies I bought were APC...POS!
I then bought TYC's...had them on for several years now...no problems whatsoever...
bought the matching TYC clear corners with the same results...
also have had TYC taillights longer than either of those w/o any problems...
all bulbs currently are PIAA...pics are in my bumper cover installation thread...

You can't beat OEM quality, but my stock ones had dirt in them and they would fog up still, so I figure I'm in the same boat either way.

Thanks for the input I'll check the TYC's.

I checked stylinconcepts, and they didn't list any TYC's. They do have some ICPW (in-car pro ware) that look nice.


I also discovered that my POS headlights are the Elegante brand projectors. Do not buy those pieces of crap, no matter what!!!!

Does anybody have expierience with the ICPW diamond clear headlights????

Are the xenarcs just a bulb/hid kit, or do they come with the housing as well?
