Even better - comes with 3" clear lenses ( not fresnel like OEM ).

Damn, you guys are costing me money! LOL

Thanks for the warnings about Stage 3 & The Lighting Firm. I'll check out other places (including you, [MENTION=203302]Raptor Retrofit[/MENTION]).

Now I just need to decide whether to get the grey or chrome housings. I don't really want chrome but I'm not sure they grey will look good on a Lariat.

I thought this was a good comparison, last two at the bottom of the page.

Why don't you post some pics of your truck so we can see what you got. If it's a lariat I would tend to lean toward chrome, but if you have a black or sterling grey and paint your surround to match the body you might be able to pull off the black HIDs.

You have a SGM Lariat right? The grey bezel housings are nearly the same gray without the metallic. It'll be a nice match. However if you have the chrome grill and bumper then the chrome bezel housings will also look good. Strictly a matter of preference.

Whats the difference between raptor retrofit morimoto harness and the retrofit source morimoto harness?

Raptor is $125 and Retrofit is $80
