I was looking at the one with the LED lights below the headlamp. Haven't seen them that cheap. I love the Harley Davidson headlights:

but I haven't seen them for less then these prices, and thats per side.

I am curious if aftermarket headlights like these would be a bad idea for a truck that I intend to take off road as much as 2wd will let me... (I noticed most of the trucks I see in off road pics have factory headlights housing)

although if u look closely at the factory style they have the little things that go around the bulbs (which my headlights do not have) and since i have HIDs there a bit longer than standerd hallogen bulb, so im kinda wonderin if my bulbs would even fit into thoes

Get the SVT Lightning lenses and corners. If you must, they have a black version of them on eBay. I have 55W 6000K DDM HIDs in my set, and they came with adapters to fit due to the depth.
