Has anyone used these black trim pieces as an alternative to fx4 headlights? I can't find a picture of them installed online.

not a fan of the circular nodules of the corner of them, but it might be worth a try. you can always send them back if you don't like the look of it. the only problem is that from the side and 45 degree angles you can probably still see the chrome lines underneath.

you should order them, take a pic and post it, and if you want to keep them you can. take one for the team!!! haha

Just pull the headlights apart and paint them, it's not too hard.

Ive thought about that. Ive read its a PITA to get them apart and then resealed.

Don't do it! Not for $83.00! IMHO it won't look anything like FX4 headlights. The chrome will still show as it is three-dimensional inside the headlights. You'll hide the face of it but the chrome will show clearly if you're within a few feet of the truck. Plus it will look lumpy due to the thickness of the cover.

I got a pair of OEM Raptor headlights on eBay last winter. These are the same as the Harley/FX4 units. They were used but not at all pitted or scratched. They looked new after I washed them. The best part: $151 and change! You might get lucky if you're patient and vigilant.

I would go with tuxedoblack11's suggestion if you want the best cost:benefit ratio. I opened my factory chrome headlights a few days ago. The first took about 25 minutes of prying, the second less than 5. You do have to bake them first, that takes about 15 minutes per light.

Get a can of krylon or something else that is good for plastic and have a go. Don't forget to paint the bulb cap.
