    Here's what It use to look like (stock)...

    Sorry I don't have close ups of the headlights, corner lights, and turn signals. But all you 1st gen guys probably know what they look like.


    Here's what it looks like now, less the sombrero...

    The new headlights are black on the bottom and the side inside. The corner lights are black instead of chrome on the inside and the corner lense is clear instead of amber. The turn indicators are black inside instead of chrome. I think these look WAY sexier on my truck than the stock grille and headlights did. What do you guys think?

    I think it looks great! I've got the exact stock look that you had with the exception of the chrome strip on the bumper. Where did you get the new lights, and did you get a good deal?

    Ya. That's really starting to bug me. I'm looking for a used one on CL with that strip black, but I'm only finding chrome ones.

    I got both the lights and grille off ebay. I think the lights were about $100 and the grille was around $80. So it wasn't that bad, WAY worth it.

    Well, I just got done painting my somberero again, and the paint started bubling. So now I have to let it soak in laquer thinner and repaint tomorrow. WTF!!!

    The stock grille and lights are yours if you pay shipping. I'm not looking to make any profit off them because they're not in the best of condition.

    I was thinking about getting them headlights. How do they compare to your stock ones at night? Do they put out the same amount of light?

    Well, they are bighter than my stock ones because they had a film of roadwear and sundamage and these are nice and clear. The black bottom and sides don't effect the lighting at all. I'm just using the shitty generic bulbs that came with them too. Once I throw some SilverStar Ultra's in, it'll be bright as F**K.

    Haha. I don't want the covers on but I'll get a ticket if I'm driving around town with them uncovered.
