What brand headlights and driving lights should I buy? I want a chrome look with LED's possibly Spyder's.

Yep stay miles away from 1 piece projectors. They usually don't fit right, they don't put out a ton of light, and the LED's burn out before too long. The lightning headlights or Harley headlights are your best bet since they're essentially a stock light they fit perfectly.

What would you recommend that would fit and have a new chrome/LED look? I don't like the blandness of the Lightnings. Should I instead get a light then a corner one?

You could put switchback LED bulbs in the corners. They light up white and when you turn on the signals they flash amber and they look cool even when they're off. Unfortunately with almost all of the aftermarket lights with LED's, the individual LED's burn out rather fast.

Can't go wrong with the chrome lightnings indeed... I love mine, especially when clean!



I got these corners as I thought they fit the truck real well. Keep out of high pressure car washes, and you wont have any issues with them. The runnings are white, and turns orange.





The whites will always stay on as long as you at least have your parks on. i just turned them off completely for the pic.

I do like those corner lights. Where can I buy those? Anywhere I can get the lightning chrome ones cheap?
