Default New Headlights

Ok ok, so I know there are a ton of threads on this topic but I'm wondering, has anyone tried these out as a replacement and are they any good?

Expect to have some aiming issues, and poor light output if you can't get them sighted in

Maybe look into a 2 piece housing without halos.... heard they have terrible output and are hard to put in.

Good brand name for halo projectors but of they're anything like mine, they'll fit but they don't look like they should. Mine don't fit perfectly and it's slightly obvious, better off with a 2 piece assembly, much easier for installation and some look fairly good. They're always rather annoying to install because you have to get all 3 beam adjusters perfect at the same time or the lights will not go in or aim in the right direction.

I had some like that in my 97 for a short time. The light output was garbage and I never could adjust them because they didn't sit right. Not to mention high beams were a joke.. It was literally dangerous to drive at night with them because I couldn't see. Worst 150 bucks I ever spent. Sold them and got some lightning style headlights. Take my advice from someone who learned the hard way, buy some lightning style headlights now. Black or chrome, which ever you like and when you have the money, do a projector retrofit. Don't waste your money on those you posted, trust me there not worth it.

For that price get the tail lights too lol.

The link I just gave you are the ones I have, the lights themselves have a horrible light output (especially for a lifted truck), but you can still see with them. The stock ones are noticeably brighter, but I always run with my bumper lights on as well so it isn't that big of an issue for me.
