May have been posted but spoke with Anzo today and they should release the 2018 switchbacks in February 2018.

I was sent a message after I posted today from a James with Anzo. He informed me that I was misinformed about the date and that the 2018 switchbacks may not be released until mid-late next year.

Bummer. I really want to upgrade my 18 headlights. Any other options on the horizon? Pics of anzos?

If I had the vanquish HID kit that should move over to the Anzio light housings?

Just got my truck and haven’t looked into it all much yet.

No other options for the 2018 yet. (I found a pair of oem lariats for $2500—-wtf?!)I was pretty bummed out too, these halogens SUCK!! I was going to do the vanquish kit also but kind of wanting to wait and see if something else pops up after the new year.

How’s everything in Lafayette??? Prairieville here��

Yea I saw some OEM ones in the 2k+ range...and thats not plug and play correct?

I wasnt sure if I would end up in a 17 or 18 so didnt look much so no idea whats out there. I have other things I need first like a bed cover, linex, and tint.

Nice to meet ya neighbor...its cold and wet...love buying a black truck in the rain lol

I might not wait for the Anzo's, I'm thinking about swapping out my standard chromed up XLT's for XLT-SE tinted units then do a bulb upgrade.

Here are pictures of two trucks taken same color in similar lighting.

Not as nice as Anzo but better looking then the stock XLT's IMO. Price is about $600 for the pair shipped. That includes a $50 core each.







The part numbers were from Taska from the VIN from in the second truck pictured.
JL3Z-13008-F
JL3Z-13008-D

That might be a option for me. I have a black sport xlt now...if I do rims I would do chrome...I think think the stock lights are too "white" but those tinted ones take it down a notch. I am not after a blacked out truck or black rims this time. Black and chrome are nice...I just think the headlights pop out too much.

Just spoke to Anzo support today. Their response below.

Lights are still in pre-production stages. We will not have anything till around SEMA time.
