ive been thinking about getting new headlights since mine have seen better days lol...but not to sure on quality and all of whats out there....anybody ever use these ones?

any other types...im open to opinions (with pics or links)

 

I think the only problem people really have with them is not being properly sealed. So just run a nice thick bead around them and you should be good to go.

 

I just would be leery of buying them because if they weren't manufactured with moisture in mind (do trucks get wet?), what else did they skimp on. Just my 2 cents.

 

New to the site and couldn't help myself.im pretty sure those lights are illegal because they do not have the amber side reflectors.

 

If you're not buying exact OEM (original equipment manufactured) headlight assemblies, the chances are high that they will fog. In my experiences first hand, and in reading the countless posts on this subject here, if you bought them off of Ebay for around $100.00, they are cheap, and will fog. At $50.00, these are going to fog.

The best way is to buy factory original, or from a reputable site. At the risk of getting beat with a baseball bat, I'd suggest searching here to find good manufacturers or sites that sell them that did not fog up. Be prepared to pay alot more. There's a reason they are higher priced.

Others like myself have bought stock units, heated them in the oven to allow for the lens to be removed, painted the silver black, then used black silicone to seal. The oven trick works. The proceedure is written in the archives.

 

I've got those. They look good but my bulbs are dim as hell. Need to get some brighter ones.

 

Well thanks for all the responses guys....i def agree about the cheaper ones not being of great quality...so ill prob just hang on to my oem ones and have them cleaned up...

Polishing em? Does it work well? Any tips/tricks?

 

I bought the black ones from this guy. I ran a bead of silicone around the entire light and haven't had any issues! I'd go for it.

 

depends on where you live and the laws there. I can have clear as long as they have amber bulbs or clear or blacked out tail lights as long as they light up red.

 

got them on my truck and love them, and I have had them on my truck for months now and have not gotten in any trouble with the law. And about them bein dem idk what thats about, mine are brighter than the stocks and then I also when and bought some hids and they are bright as hell.
