Headlights for a silver 2nd gen. Pictures please :)

My headlights are not in the greatest shape. I'm looking to replace them. I'm thinking about darker ones but I'm not set on it. Show me what you have and let me know how they are holding up. My friend got some on Amazon a year ago for his Ram today they are cracked and scratched and look like ass.

 

ummmmm

 

Those look cool. Do you have any pictures of them installed?

 

sweet

 

Thanks

 

gotta be careful with aftermarket lights. most of them have poor seals and they leak. depo seems to be the best brand of aftermarket out there, unless you buy cheap, bake and reseal.

 

I'll look at Depo. Thanks for the 411

 

5 years old.

 

Thanks for the pics

 

Those look pretty good, what brand and any issues installing and aiming them? That black inset would look good on my black Taco

 

Headlights Depot.
Installation is EZPZ.
They began to leak after a year or 2.
For that issue I drilled little holes 1/8" in the lower face of the housing.
Water in - Water out.
EZPZ.
Now I should really paint the bumper.

 

So you're worried about how they look and if they leak. Are you worried about how well they put usable light on the ground in front of the truck by chance?

 

Nice Trolling

 

If the casing fills up with water, blows the lamp, there will be no light output.
Smartass



They perform just fine in the street light city and in the woods where there are no lights.

 

Not being a smart ass. OEM housings (generally) do not have water intrusion problems and you don't have to seal them up before using them. Many aftermarket housings have water intrusion problems, thus the need to seal them up. No well designed product should require the buyer to modify it before use just to get it to perform its designated function.

As far as light output goes, aftermarket housings pretty much all have inferior output to OEM. Many folks choose aftermarket headlights based on "how they look." I look at headlights - and certain other parts of my truck - as a safety item. Therefore I'm much pickier about how they perform than how they look.

BTW, Wander over to the Lighting sub-forum and you'll find out who here knows their stuff about lighting.
