For as much of a comparison as you can make between a headlight and a whole truck, that sounds to me like selling a truck without mentioning that the frame is severely rusted, Trans is slipping and the one window is busted out.

Used lights aren't gonna be "perfect". Smh.

I wonder if he has another set listed..... there is a set on ebay for $40 and there's some "minor scratches" etc.

I plan on taking many pictures, and putting them all in one thread, probably under the member build section, I'm really toying with the idea of putting a 4x4 extension housing and t-case under him for now and eventually building him into a 4.2l 4x4 rcswb because money and time be damned!

Anyone know if aftermarket headlight lenses will fit on OEM housings? I am buying a new set of aftermarket headlights, but getting a partial refund on the crappy grey headlights I bought on ebay. My plan is to open the crappy ones and experiment with projector fitment and paint. In case they turn out to my liking, I may try and just use the lens from the aftermarket set. I also plan on asking my dad to spray them with his HVLP using an automotive clear for maximum protection.

I was thinking about picking up a set of the platinum grey lights and swapping out the lenses I have now... would that work? My lenses are absolutely perfect with little to no scratches, but I would love to have the grey bezel.
