    Since finding stock headlights isn't working out for me very well and my current after market lights are crap i need some new ones. I have heard good things about these depo black bezel headlights. I wanted to get more peoples opinions on them though. do they fog up at all? what is the light output like? help!

    Whats wrong with your stock headlights? Best upgrade is a retrofit IMO. The stock headlights are plenty bright though. I'm wondering if your setup might be wrong.

    This is the depo headlights right out of the box, before I did my retrofit on them.

    Then I turned them into this.

    That's the Apollo shrouds.
    I painted the main reflector black, but left the shrouds chrome.

    Not sure if you're active much anymore, but how did you color match you grille, and how did you do that grille insert. The headlights and grille make this base reg cab look awesome, wondering what it looks like now, if you still have it.
