THIS! A good bang-for-the-buck is my goal when it comes to most purchases.

Those XP50 headlights are $105 if you wait a week for 4x4truckleds black friday sale.

If I get the chrome replacement headlights instead of black off ebay, will they work as good with the 4X4truckled.com bulbs?

I have the OEM chrome headlights on my 04 Lariat and believe they will look better.
