Default Headlight suggestions

So I am going to order new headlights for my truck soon, and I'm looking for suggestions of what to get! Been looking on ebay some, but theyre so many choices out there


Any recommendations / links / pics / personal preferences?

Thanks!

I went with the smoked also off off eBay. I think they were about a hundred bucks with shipping and look great with hids.

How bright are they at night? and Is there a conversion kit needed for HID's?

Thanks!

Yes, HIDs require a conversion kit. It's very simple, consists of like 4 parts. Easy to put on, easy to remove, and way better at lighting up the road. Just make sure to aim them down to a point that you still have great forward/sideroad visibility but cut down the glare on oncoming eyes.

If you get headlights with projectors in them the need to re-aim is greatly reduced


As for brightness, my low beams now shoot farther in all directions with more intense light than my old high beams. The high beams in my stock housings miss the long rang reflector but are great for offroad because they spread light absolutely everywhere with good intensity


This will explain a lot
