Default murdered out

i was thinking of blacking out all of my lights.

I was going to get the hella black backed head lights but im not sure what i should do with my cab clearance lights and tail lights. if the tinting is bad the light will look like garbage.

I was also looking for a black billet grill for the front.

2008 fx4 supercab

Any suggestions?

I got a white FX2 2008. I installed blacked out headlights, and they were looking sharp but the light output sucked big times. So, I traded headlights with another member. I traded my FX2 black headlights with chrome housing headlights with a light smoke. They look like black chrome. looks tight on my truck.

I installed LED's fro parking and signal light in the front but they suck big times. They are actually worse than before, so I put my stock signal light bulbs back.

check them out for the clearance lights...they have smoked and I think they sell LED tails and cargo/third brake lights. Im not a fan of LEDs but they do some cool stuff. I cam gonna order one of the light bars for the back since I smoked my tails

check out recon.com and americantruck.com...they have some nice stuff also...good idea to seal all aftermarket lights prior to install to prevent leaking.
