    What do you mean "good"? Like function good? Or Look good? What about budget?

    These terms are more or less mutually exclusive. The "cool" looking ones are generally crap (i.e. Spyders). I would just get some to factory style replacements, either OEM factory, or CAPA certified housings (from rock auto). They are have the price and extremely well built. Mine were indistinguishable from oem.

    If you want higher quality than stock, you're going to have to get HID retrofits or something, and those can cost 500-1000... Another option is the "ultimate upgrade":

    Just don't throw LEDs in your housings, please!

    I'm definitely hoping this "build" is more than wheels and tires, lol...

    fair, considering the truck is lifted already. Retrofits would qualify it as a build more, though
