Mine are chrome ccfl Spyder headlights. It's not black, but pics are in my garage and album. They look just like Recon headlights, just cost less.

Do self a favor amd don't get them. I had them and even with HIDs in the the light output sucks. I just put in 55w HIDs and couldn't be more happy check out my album and thread on it. Here's the video link I made so you can see how bright the new ones are. http://youtu.be/tNIlUWo9r7Q

I asked my friend who does a lot of customizing the same thing and he said that they're cheaper for a reason. Buy Recon or something similar. Worth the extra expense in the long run.

These were like 370 new... but I got them free from a friend new in box. LOL. So I can't complain. They've been reliable and the light output is pretty good. Took me a while to get them aligned, but they've been great ever since. I sometimes wonder how long the CFL will last... I think it would be better if the CFL was LED instead.

The Sypder headlights had some manufacturer defects. They swear up n down they fixed the problem. Recon is Sonar who also make them for Spyder...so you're going to get the same headlights if you buy Recon. I recommend the Anzo ones...and they're CCFL F150 Projector Headlights

I have a set of Anzo projector headlights in my 07 Suburban with 35w 6000k HID's. They work GREAT!! This weekend, I'm going to put the Anzo projectors in my 09 SCrew with 35w 4300k HID in the low and hi. I'm going to put in a relay that will keep the low beam lights on when I turn on the hi's. I'll also put 35w 4300k HID into the fogs so all match.

I would save your money for a pair of retrofits, the spyders ad recons not only look tacky but are poorly made, have under par light output and don't last relatively long.
