Default Need ideas for headlights/tails!

I am in the market for new headlights to replace the plain OEM ones and I am lost in the vast sea of choices online.... I would love some ideas (and pics) of members' choices on here. I am not at all mechanically inclined so how much would a shop charge to install a new set as well? I would prefer black/smoked out lights and also tails to match. Thank-you to anyone posting up ideas! (Please provide a link to where you purchased as well!) Thanks!

look forward to checking it out. How true is the "plug and play" though.... i've read many instances where even though a unit says it is plug and play it still requires some wiring.

Well it's requiring wiring for the LED lights, and the halo portions, but trust me.. I am one like you I can't even change my own oil really without help from my father haha! And I wired the ones in my 97 ford with no prob, and my dads 99 lariat was easy to wire also. Im sure these will be the same. I'm going to splice my halo/leds into the running lights, so I have them all the time. But ill get pics and links now im on computer It was under the couch haha!

And sorry the headlights i bought I got the last set, I'll send you a link to ones just like them only 3$ less then mine too.. I only got the ones I got because I like the accents lol.

When you find the ones you want, you can swap them out easily. If you can use a screw/nut driver, only takes about 5-10 mins each. I'm sure there is a thread here on how to and plenty of vids online.

Did you post this thread in the right section?
