Yeah, I thought about getting led's but then needing the load equilizer for it and how expensive they were I decided it wasnt worth it.

Thanks for the vote, I am having a tough time deciding.

Aslo, does anyone know where I can get amber colored 194 peanut bulbs for the corner lights? I check Oreillys and stylin trucks to the rght and could not find any amber colored. Thanks.

Mine are similar to the second set, the led's weren't an issue at all, i just spliced them and the halo's into the lowbeam power and grounded them to the truck. they have all the electronics attached to the back of the headlight so there was nothing else i had to do. i've been happy with them.

Could you explain why you dont like them please? I am starting to wonder if it would be better just to get HID's for the stock head lights........

Personally I like the 2nd n 3rd ones, but I don't like lines on my stuff, n the first set has them.
Proexhaust n Xrteam are both good places. Have bought stuff from both sellers a few times, n have been quite happy with the products.

Go with wichever ones you like most. It's your truck, you're going to be looking at it everyday, so get something you're going to like looking at

I got mine from Xtreme and they are great. The people that are saying there visibility sucked with their projectors must have gotten a shitty pair or something..it was a night and day difference when i got my projectors.

I am happy with mine but mine came with them so OEM quality, I have seen some aftermarket ones with shitty light output.... so guess it depends on whom makes them.
