Look on eBay, they have some good prices. If your wanting stock you can pay a little extra cash and get the Harley davidson ones. I have also seen where people has taken their stock ones apart and painting the chrome surrounding around the headlight and blinker area to match the color of the truck.

Hella makes great black headlights. I've had mine on now for about 9 months and there hasn't been one drop of condensation on them...and you don't have to seal them yourself like a lot of aftermarket ones. The smoked headlights on my Mustang had to be sealed before you installed them according to the manufacturer. The Hella's quality is equal to the stock ones. There's some pics in the link in my sig.

Don't waste your time with the ebay ones, they're cheesy. Get Hella.

I have Hella offroad lights also and have had Hella products in the past on previous vehicles...been nothing but impressed and never had a problem. Not only do I live in New England where the roads are salty in winter, but I live on an island and battle corrosion in many aspects...Hella has survived with flying colors. You get what you pay for, but like JP said, ebay headlights are garbage. Cheap and chinsy, and if you get stupid projector headlights with LEDs, I can almost guarantee you they will fail down the road. If you don't want to spend the money, just bake your stock headlights and paint them black. That costs $10.
