Default Thoughts on these headlights

My stock headlights are pretty much yellow now, and I'm due for an upgrade. These caught my eye http://www.ebay.com/itm/110989288320. These headlights usually ship with a corner that has a yellow reflector, but I like this combo better. Any thoughts?

Also, I've heard these referred to as "Lightning" headlights. Are they the same headlights with a black housing? As far as I knew, lightnings came with chromed headlights.

Yep, just lightning headlights painted black, they're awesome, what I'm running on my truck

If I'm not mistaken, that's the same vendor I bought my lights from. Either way, your new lights make the truck look better.
Post a pic once you get them in.

DOT legality, you're supposed to have a reflector on it. That's why I was glad to get my real black lightning corners in after I ran the all black. They look sweet but not a ton of light in the day time is my only complaint on them.

Those are the exact one I have for my truck. They look good and have more output, I'm just wainting on some extra money so I can upgrade the bulbs.

Will do! Hopefully they'll get to my house before school starts again, but if they don't I might not get back to you for a few weeks.
