    From my personal experience, this is the way to go if you don't want to do the full retrofit (which I've also done) or you like the look of the aftermarket projector housing.

    I'll probably test them before I put them on and compare the outputs to the hids I have on the stock housing. If I don't like them I'll just modify them with something better. I did the same to the projector fog lights I've bought aswell

    HIDs in the stock housing are the worst possible combo. If you want superior light output and optics just do it right the first time (or in this case the second).

    This.

    Well I slap them one 2 years ago when I got the truck and adjusted them, cause it was the cool thing to do. But I have been look to do a retro fit or buy some premade ones for some time it's just between work and trying to get back school eats up time to mess around with the taco

    Ya that's me! Haven't ordered them yet, was waiting on tax refund to purchase. Glad I didn't get them from the eBay vendor, these are $50 cheaper for the same headlight.

    I expect to order these by this weekend, as well as new OPT 7 LED bulbs for the projectors. Stay tuned! :)

    I'll probably order sometime this month, but what's Strange is that on eBay, vipmoto makes then and now spyder says they make them, wonder if there are the same headlights just sold under diffent brands...

    Yes! They are all from the same Chinese distributor. As the man says. .. "you pays your money and you takes your chances!"
