Default Blacked out Headlights

Should I buy these both for 150?
Blacked out headlights and the Mesh grille...
How do you think it would look on my color truck?
Thanks...

Stay away from the cheap Harley look-a-like Headlights....if you pay less than $200.00, then they are cheap immitations, and have a 80 to 90% chance of fogging up. This has happened and been reported by many folks here.

The grill is too much for my taste, plus it adds weight to the truck; your MPG may suffer a bit. If you live in the woods though (or hunt), the grill can protect the front I suppose.

Seems like a pretty good deal. On the if you should buy part, just do what u like. What I think looks good and what u think looks good can be two very different things. I think those would look good on most trucks, but I am a fan of the blackout look.

I think he is talking about the mesh grille insert, not the brushguard, but I could be wrong.

Yes I'm talking about the headlight and grille, not the brush guard.

Just put an additional silicone seal around the lights as added protection to prevent any future leaks.

No problem man. They are probably each 130 or so, so if they are in good shape, the 150 isn't a bad price and u could maybe even talk them down a little.
