Default After market head lights..best one?

Ok most of you know that the stock head lights..well suck...I have seen several different styles of after market headlights and was wondering if what you bought was a up grade, a dissapointment or the best thing since Dodge and Cummins! You opinions and a picture will be greatly appreciated!! Now you know why I put those big fog and driving lights on my truck..I like to see where I am going! Name:  P1010081.jpg

I can't remember the brand, but I got the 200 dollar black projector ones off ebay. It is a reputable company that does a lot of ricer lights, so I gave them a try. I love them. Especially with the 50 buck HID kit from ddm.

Is the beam defined so as not to be just a bright wash out like the factory lights? I see you have plenty of aux lighting on the front of your truck! Nice!

Yeah, none of the pics have the projectors in them. And I don't have the guard with the lights on the front anymore either. Didn't need the extra lights once I put the projectors in .

And yes, they project the light in a shape, kinda. Like when driving through a residential neighborhood, you can see the line between light and dark on the houses and trees in front of me. It's like a big square flashlight, only with a much wider beam of course.

Here's the one's like mine. Not sure if they are the exact ones or knock offs. The only issue with mine, was a slight fitment issue. There's a tiny gap between the fender and the light on mine. But they might fit your's better, who knows.

The one thing I love about them, is they keep the stock 2 bulb set up for hi/lo. I can still switch off my HID's and go to my regular low beam.

The HID is the inside light bulb, so it scatters it a lot more than the low beam, but thats ok because I only use them offroad and when there is no one else on the highway.

Is your truck a sport? I see that it has 2 plug ins for the lights on each light. Pretty nice lights though! Great feedback! There are so many out there. I just hate to spend any cash to fix a short fall to find that I didn't buy "better".
