Default Lets see your headlights

If you have aftermarket/modified/retrofitted headlights, post them here. I want to get ideas for my upcoming headlight project. Just about all of the out-of-the-box projector headlight options for the 11th gen are hideous to me, but I can't help to think that they might look different actually installed on a truck.


Lets see 'em.

Smoked lenses off eBay.

Took them apart and painted them black inside, including the turn signal reflector

My old set of retrofits. They were sold to another member and he painted them white and they are for sale in the 04-08 BST now. But here they are on my truck (all painted by me):







I have since went back to the somewhat stock look with LED bulbs:

Retrofitted with Osram Night Breaker Unlimited bulbs. Best headlight combo I have ever owned or witnessed. Cutoffs are sharp and they are aimed by the book

Dude, I love those. Did you buy the whole thing, or retrofit yourself?

Thank you!

Bought the completed housings on here from a guy who built them and moved on to something else. All I did was bake them apart, added additional epoxy, and resealed.

I am into function over form and this lights and bulb combination is the best I have seen. The only negative is twice each year when I load my 700 Grizzly in the bed to take up and back to hunting camp in Alabama. I get flashed like crazy. My plan is to aim the lights before and after hauling this year. BTW, I know where Ft Mitchell is on 165 . Used to hunt down in Cedar Heights. Have been over in Society Hill the past four years.

The parking lights are switchbacks. I run them a lot as driving lights to save my $$ expensive Osram HID bulbs.

Get some airbags or load leveling shocks and you'll be set! Those headlights do look great, by the way.
